Let her go to prison for her crime she needs to pay for that and not have you pay for it.  Go to a lawyer and start the divorce papers so the children don't get to involved with this behavior.  

Answer 5

Be understanding. Maybe she has depression or some other stressor that caused this behavior. I assume she wasn't a thief when you married her. If not then try to find the underlying cause of the behavior and this ONE TIME pay her restitution and fines and get her out from under this.

Your kids should not have to live without their mother. Don't force them to.

When she goes to jail, file a petition for termination of parental rights.

Get a lawyer and if your background is good, along with income, sock it to her.  I'm a woman by the way, but can't take a liar.  Once a liar, always......
