Bring ALL the info you have -- the above income amounts, plus the value of your home (whose name or names is it in), retirement accounts, investment accounts, how many credit cards and whether the debt is joint or his alone, etc. The lawyer can tell you what you are entitled to and suggest various scenarios of staying married but living separately, being legally separated but not divorced, or divorcing. Don't tell your husband until you've decided what you want to do.
I don't suggest divorcing him until you know what that will involve re your finances. Make an appointment with a divorce attorney. The first appointment is sometimes free. Ask about a legal separation as well as a divorce.
Your husband cannot just waltz off with a floofie cutie and leave you out in the cold. Don't let him! Good luck to you.
See a divorce lawyer for a consult and learn how to protect your assets. The other woman is obviously a scammer and probably knows how to drain your joint assets and will do it rapidly and before you know it you’ll both be broke.. It’s just a consult. Don’t tell your husband.
Does your husband have any cognitive impairment? If so it’s even more urgent to figure things out.
