been married 24 years,can't take her alcohol problem any longer, since are only assests is the house will it be divided up equally? and she has accumulated 40K credit card debt that she's not paying, all cards are in her name only am I liable for half? also 8 years ago her father gave us 40K to put down on the house (20K) in each of our names, can she take that off the top when the house sells?

yes.

yes, you will be liable for half if she ran them up during the marriage and bought household stuff, stuff for the kids, vacations together, etc. debt accrued during the marriage is almost always split.
also 8 years ago her father gave us 40K to put down on the house (20K) in each of our names, can she take that off the top when the house sells?
Well, if he gave you 20k each, then you are still even. So it doesn't really matter. Especially if you can prove 20k was in her name and 20k in yours. Having said that, she may still try to fight for the 40k off the top, but in Florida I doubt she will win unless she can prove that the money was JUST for her and not for both of you for the house.
