| Absolutely not except if he has good reason to be concerned with your spending. That's not a marriage. That's not a marriage. |

| What's your financial situation? Why does he want this? |

| OP again, to clarify he basically said he will pay all expenses and I can save my paycheck. However, I will have no claim to his or to our house that he bought before marriage. |

| I’m in a marriage with “separate” finances, but we share all expenses and have logins for each other’s accounts. It’s mostly laziness. |

How much do you earn? How much does he earn? What is he scared of? Did his parents divorce? His friends? Why is this coming up now after you have children? |

My spending isn’t crazy although I’ve incurred some late penalties on taxes before. I do have goals that I’d need his income to achieve in terms of house, college funds, private school, vacations (I work FT and make about 25% of HHI). He is not into funding my dreams. |

What the hell is a financial divorce, Lol. People are making up stuff at this point!
I would respectfully say “No.” Who is going to enforce this fake divorce, a judge? |

You are better off divorcing and getting childsupport and alimony.
I am so, so, so sorry that you had a kid with this POS. |

Me too sometimes, but considering I’m 49 I don’t have a ton of other options for having a family. |
