By the way, if your wife has left you for another man that's adultry. You contest it, you should come out on top financially.

Apparently does not matter to the court

Correct. Unfortunately, marital conduct RARELY affects division of property. BUT her living with the other man CAn have an effect.

Colorado goes by "equitable division" of property... basically they factor everything in and try to make it "fair" for everyone.

Her having a place to live and a job to support herself helps you immensely. She is entitled to 50% of everything aquired DURING the marriage and even temporary alimony if she earns significantly less than you... but if she is dead set on getting the house... she needs to give up part of her claims elsewhere... I can't imagine a competent lawyer allowing you to take the initial offer... it is ridiculous.

Again thank you so much, I believe I will check around for a different lawyer

No problem. PM me if you want any further advice... I know Colorado is different from Texas legally, but I just can't see a judge or mediator(<--better choice) not giving you a better deal.

Instead of a new attorney, you may want to call around to some ADR (Alternative dispute resolution) places. Often they are themselves lawyers. Mediation can be expensive, but not as bad as court or getting raped by the opposing offer.

That really sucks. Listen, hop in the car, drive to the nearest liquor store, and buy a bottle of Glenlivet (aged 12 yrs plus). I bought that for my husband and he raves about it! Good luck to u Monk.

Did she respond poorly to an empty nest or something?

Yes she did

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear about this. It's hard to get blindsided like that.

Never trust a female Delmar, remember that one simple precept and your time with me will not have been ill spent.

**Buehler445** · 04-28-2009, 08:00 PM

Holy Jesus ****ing ass Christ. You should inadvertently post her address and we should off her for you. Condolences dude.

Get a new lawyer. It should be 50% of the assets and nothing more from everything that I hear. If I were you I'd say that the house is what she gets. Your retirement is absolutely assenine. You're going to get anal raped getting it out.

I don't know how it all works, but I'd take all your money out and give it to someone you trust. If she wants the house so bad, tell her it is worth way more than she wants and that way she gets no cash. That should force a liquidation of the house and that way you can give her the money and hopefully not liquidate your retirement funds.

If that doesn't work, I would seriously consider liquidating your assets and giving it to someone you trust.

i'd liquidate everything, hide the money in belize, then tell them all to get fkd - you gambled the money away.

If he decides to do that, he better send me a PM. I know a few places in Belize where that would work. Lot's of decent investments over there right now on San Pedro Island.

Now is the perfect time to spend a season ranching cattle and going to rodeos and sleeping under the stars. Or spending a few months in a monastery in prayer and meditation. Something like that.

Also, get a dog if you don't have one already. Without one you will die sooner.
