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.

Thanks Austin Chief I have a meeting with my lawery tommorrow. With everything you have posted I am really prepared. Again Thank You more than you will ever know

Damn dude, so sorry to hear this. It really sucks, and hurts BAD, I went tru almost the same thing 2 years ago. Had been married 12+ years, 4 kids and a good life. Came home from the hospital after a heart attack, and 3 weeks later she splits to live with her "boyfriend". Never saw it coming, but can look back and see the signs now.

I'll keep you in my prayers.

Monk, how much do you charge for violins?

The way men get raped in divorces in this country is absolutely appalling.

boogblaster 04-29-2009 08:28 PM

Damn sour news my friend ... I don't know why the law allows women to take everything a man works for ... It isn't right ... I hate to say it but most women are ruthless and selfish ... Hope you make out alright man ... BOOG .....

Scenario: A husband and wife work full-time and their salaries are equal. They get divorced, (neither were unfaithful to the other). Is the wife entitled to 50% of everything then?

Keep in mind that I see the point that many of u men are making. I completely agree that if someone cheats, and/or doesn't make a financial contribution they shouldn't get crap. But not every woman should be bashed. My situation reflects the above scenario, (well except for the divorced part, which I hope NEVER happens!)... but if it did, would I be entitled to a 50/50 split?

I worked 25 years for Williams Energy, we put two daughters through college and helped them, as we could, get established in life.

So,today was a meeting between the lawyers and I find out I will have to give her the house (paid for ) a car (new) and 1/2 of my pension,savings, and investments. Now all of that was ours 50/50 any way and she did her part in the marriage. Not only does it hurt like hell but now it looks like at 58 I have to start all over again.

Sorry for spelling or grammer but right now I don't care my heart is broken and soon to be homeless (STARTING OVER AT 58 )

So what half of the stuff do you get??

Valiant 04-29-2009 09:13 PM

Ahh that really sucks after reading more of the thread.. I would make them liquidate everything and then split a check down the middle..

I'd think so. In that situation, it's fair.

I had avery similar experience to yours several years back. I understand the wide range of emotions you are experiencing. All at once. You never could have convinced me this was in my best interest. But 2 years later she started having medical problems, including cancer, and she ran up some horrendous medical bills that would have bankrupted me. Then she died whch would have been another $10-12,000. Since she had taken back her maiden name, this entire burden fell on her parents instead of me. Then I found I could start drawing her social security two years earlier than I could my own. So now mine is continuing to mature. That bitch really did me one hell of a favor by doing what she did. I hope you have a similar experience.

Good Ole skip can always find the bright side.
