How to deal with a wife like this?
She has taken to living separately. Says the bed is too small for all of us. So she lives in the spare room with ensuite bathroom. I stay in our original bedroom with my son co sleeping.
We recently cleaned out the balcony and she decided to take it over as her own private study space too after I told her I wanted to set it up as a workspace.
She refuses to help with paying for the car she drives. We used to share the one car until recently. But she uses a tax loophole to claim the car expenses to herself.
Also, she announced recently that she had reserved a property in my name using her own money and cancelled it. 3k was to be refunded to my account. I wanted to use that money to service and register the car that she is driving now. She demanded the money back and said go work for the money to pay the car fees and that she lost all face to have a husband that cannot afford to run his wife's car...
Meanwhile I pay all of the costs and have no savings but she sits on 60k in her bank account.
My father says I'll lose my son and lose everything if I get divorced from her. Especially at my age of 37 I'll never get ahead in my life ever again. I don't agree. How much more bs do I have to put up with? Continue to live separately?
Tonight I asked her for a towel as I forgot one and she refused and said she needs to teach me a lesson not to forget one. But for years she asked me to fetch her towels...I have just been completely taken advantage of...
Should I wait until she is violent again and call the cops to have an exclusion AVO taken out to remove her from my home?
The car I drive is in her company name but she drives the Audi in my name. I have my name on this apartment but she owns the other 4...she has 60k in the bank. I have no savings. Yet my parents believe she will get custody despite her violent past and involvement of child protection...
My father says I will be left paying support for her and our son and therefore will never get back on my feet.
I reckon each property has at least 100k equity in it. Mine just got valued with 148k more than what I paid for it. I owe the full amount on it because I pay just the interest only at the moment.
Despite all this, my father thinks the property she accumulated during our marriage belongs to her only as she was the one to fully finance them.
Is he right that I will be stuck paying support and will never keep this apartment or afford to buy my own home??
She does pay our son's full time daycare costs which equals about 11k per year.

I’d have divorced her years ago, but we all know you’d rather pretend this is real and not a troll.

Your parents may be right, but that
does not mean you should stay in
this situation, digging yourself into
a deeper and deeper hole. Start
documenting everything, in clear,
incontrovertible manner (e.g., have
hard evidence of what is going on).
Get yourself to a divorce lawyer,
ASAP, and start getting your
paperwork in order (finances,
ownership of properties, what
assets came before and after
the marriage), etc.
[Pretending this is a real question.]

You've been told repeatedly that you need a lawyer and that unless you're dangerous there's no way you won't at least get shared custody of your son. Until you do that there's really nothing more to say. She's not going to change.

Don't believe a thing this asker ever posts. He (?) has been posting the same questions about his "dysfunctional marriage" and his "terrible wife" for OVER TEN YEARS ! By his own account, he is now 37 years of age. Do NOT continue to feed the cat.
