If you are not divorced - she's your wife not your ex-wife. If you don't have a will (and you likely don't), your girlfriend will likely only get what she can physically put her hands on and run off with along with also maybe a joint account, if you have one. Otherwise your wife is gonna get most everything else. Even if you do have a will, your wife can still likely claim an elective share. So if you are concerned about this, the easiest way to deal with it is divorce her - our firm can do that for you foe around $395 with covers everything needed for a standard divorce.
