As to the the phone thing, her again it would be a lawyer that can best advice you. As to the bills or her bills. Here again you need to speak to a Lawyer. In general those bills that were jointly accumulated are the responsibility of both of you to pay. Once you separated you may be required to make a public notice to that effect before you can stop paying any additional bills she accumulates until you are divorced. At worst you may be required to pay half. If she now earns more than you it is very possible you could be entitled to alimony.
All of this depends on the laws in the state you live in. The only way to find this it is to contact a lawyer. If you don't know one call the State Bar Association and ask for a referral to some in your area. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

I'm really blown away by your courage and strength of character. Judging by the way you are handling this predicament, I'm certain that things will work out beautifully for you. I'm only 17, and I don't know what you're supposed to do in such a situation, but I felt I had to tell you this.
I'm just wondering, it's not clear whether the apartment belongs to you or your wife. It sounds like it belongs to you, if that's true, then you should reclaim it and let this bitch go live in a hotel. The way she's treating you is totally unacceptable. I would have zero tolerance for such behavior, and you should too. Do not let her get away with this. You are an incredible person, and no one should EVER get away with treating you like this. Gather some friends, and discuss some ideas of how to proceed.
This predicament will be over before you know it, and hopefully you will move on and find a great girl and start over. As for your wife, judging by her abhorrent character, she'll never be successful or happy. She's hopeless. I'm sorry you were a victim of her criminal acts. As you say, you're a great decent guy, and you really don't deserve this.
You are going to be okay, trust me. You are a strong guy, and you don't let people break you. You're my hero, dude!
