The State doesn't have authority over Christian marriages, so what does it matter?

The court will give the woman custody of the children (they don't have children i believe) and force the man to pay her alimony and child support, and she can get the house, assets, etc. I'm sorry but do you live under a rock?

Wife filed for civil divorce. Some people have advised me to change the locks on my house. Should I, or should I be forgiving and welcoming?

Do you have kids together? Does she have a history of taking your belongings/destroying them? Don't know the dynamics.

Talk to a priest. Talk to a lawyer. 

Very interesting.  But just because you marry a traditional Catholic man does not mean you're safe either. 
What if he isolated you to the point of no phone, no Internet, mail being checked before you see it, no money, no keys, you are removed from the auto insurance policy, he tells everyone you are manipulative and "2 people", and won't take you to an appointment for a broken ankle unless you give him your cell phone?  And children are seeing this.

Not trolling here.  Would civil divorce be warranted then? 

Some questions. Is there a reason why he’d be doing that? Have you broken his trust or done something to deserve this? I’m pretty skeptical when I hear how the husband acts like this but it’s one-sided and we don’t know the context. If you aren’t in this situation yourself and you are hearing it somewhere else, you’re not getting the full story. 

The civil divorce system is clearly rigged against men when women can claim abuse and make slanderous remarks without repercussions. Are men allowed to do this? I don’t see men getting full custody, alimony, child support, half or most of the assets, etc. 

If the wife is actually a good person, then why did she marry a guy like this? Was she ignoring red flags?

Also your response to this thread is should the woman in your situation be able to file for divorce? Except the man in this scenario, his wife is filing. You’re perpetuating the notion that women can file without thinking of the consequences. But no society tells women that it’s never their fault for why their marriage is so bad and miserable. 

That is an awful situation and if a women does have a broken ankle and the husband will not let the wife seek medical care, then that is a major problem. I think a separation would be necessary.  It would be best for the woman be taken in by a healthy Catholic family and then understanding and repairing the marriage may be possible as long as the husband also wants to be a good Catholic man.

No woman or man should be treated as if they are a child. Even under submission, I don't think any priest would agree that the treatment above is warranted because she is a bad wife.  Men who assert their authority in such a way are abusive.  If the husband is being lied about, then he should have picked a better wife. 

Nothing is black and white when it comes to these situations.

That is a wise response.
