• Smart Money: ; Filing for Divorce May Be Only Cure for Shopaholic Wife

DEAR BRUCE: My wife is constantly getting credit cards and maxing them out. I always end up bailing her out. I took a loan out to remodel the house and did use the full amount of the loan. I never went to the bank to close that account. In the meantime, she managed to take out $20,000 from that loan. She also racked up $5,000 in credit card debt.

The General Assembly ended its 2011 session last week having passed legislation pertaining to parting, punishment and protest.

• Take Two: Instead of Nba Games, All We Get Is Gossip

There was sadness yesterday in the sports world -- at least I think there was -- with the news that Kim Kardashian was filing for divorce from her pro-basketball player husband, Kris Humphries, citing irreconcilable differences a mere 24 hours before the couple was to celebrate their 73rd-day anniversary.

• Maryland Divorce Lawyers Push for Quicker Splits

Divorce lawyers might be the last people you would expect to support legislation to halve the time married couples must live separately before divorcing in Maryland. But at a state Senate committee hearing last week, attorneys who represent soon-to-be-exes said they are willing to forgo the billable hours to eliminate what they called a nonsensical requirement that couples remain married against their will for a full year before filing for divorce.
