Can I Tell My Attorney About Things My Spouse (who Is An Attorney) Has Done Without Risking Hurting His Career? (us)

I’m in Kentucky. Considering separation and need to meet with an attorney to talk through whether me leaving the home will impact my likelihood of receiving the house if we do move toward divorce. The mortgage is in my name only and I pay the mortgage out of an account only in my name. That said, I know it’s still marital property, so none of that truly matters.

I am scared of hurting my husband’s career if it is made known that the reason I feel it’s necessary for me to leave includes addiction, use of controlled substances, and anger issues. I want to physically separate myself for 6 months and give him the space to work on himself without risking losing the house with whatever happens next. I really think he’s a good guy at heart with some big issues and I don’t mind him staying here while I’m gone.

I think it’s an easy answer and we’d be protected by attorney client privilege, right?
