What sucks is that I'm guessing he lost everything because she was a stay at homer that "couldn't support herself" after the marriage was dissolved.

So she gets rewarded for shitting on the reward she got her whole married life.

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting half of what they accumulated as a married couple. Stay at home moms can work very hard, not saying they all do. But if she wants out, she should have to buy him out.

I would agree.

I gave my ex everything except my personal posessions and the kids. Only things that mattered. Big screens, and kegerators will keep him happy in hell.

Sounds like she'd make a fine whore. Under the right circumstances, that can pay well.

He still paid for everything. Being a stay at home mom is not a right! A lot of moms work hard full time to bring home money along with the husband these days. It is a luxury he provided her!! He should get everything, cheating bitch nothing.

If a woman stays home to raise your kids and tend to your home so you can have a career and provide, they're entitled to something, because they've definitely contributed.

I don't know that I agree with the idea that a woman should be kept at the same level of living their accustomed to though. Being with that husband can have financial rewards, but I don't know that he should have to keep her in furs and diamonds and a shopping allowance...

Near as I can tell the dude she left him for is HIS LAWYER.

Seriously though, it always pisses me off to hear stuff like this. Best of luck bro.

ok, spoke to a lawyer friend who handles divorce cases....

His advice is essential the same as mine BUT he made one other important point...

GET A SWORN INVENTORY OF ALL POSSESIONS AND GET EVERYTHING APPRAISED. HAVE HER DO A SWORN INVENTORY AND YOU DO A SWORN INVENTORY AND TURN THEM OVER AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. (very important)

He recommends getting your own appraiser to appraise the house, if she doesn't get a seperate appraisal then whatever your guy says will stand.

get a valuation on EVERYTHING, down to the penny.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let them convince you to take the "easy" way out... this is something you will live with for the rest of your life.

He paid for everything, and she made him, presumably, a nice home for he and his children to come home to. It isn't valueless, as you seem to think, and no court in the country is going to see it the way you do.

Sorry to hear about this, Monk. This has been one of the best threads on here lately. I hope I never have to face this situation, but some of the advice(esp Austin's) has been worthy of filing away, just in case.
And Iowanian is cracking me up like he used to when I first visited the Planet.
Hope everything gets settled fairly for you, Monk.

ALMOST FORGOT!

He also mentioned that you need to seperate out anything you owned or earned (pension, etc) BEFORE being married... that is yours and not subject to being split. PERIOD.

Dang all I can say is I hope her legs grow together!
