[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you SAH or make way less than him I presume?[/quote]

Nope - I make more income than him now, the cash windfall he received at the beginning of our marriage paid for most of our house, though my income since that has paid for our very modest mortgage.  He opted not to work for  some years - using most of the rest of that income.  Our kids were in daycare and school so he was never a SAHD.[/quote]

If he got that windfall after you got married, it was not "his" it was both of yours. You are going to split the equity in the house equally regardless of who paid the down payment and who paid the mortgage. If you make more income, get used to the idea that you are going to wind up paying him child support and perhaps spousal maintenance. You will also split any retirement assets 50/50, too, which may entail transfers from you to him.[/quote]

The windfall absolutely IS his even if he got it after the marriage if it was an inheritance.    [/quote]

She said it wasn't.  I agree this makes no sense, OP.  Did he get the money before you were married, or after?   How was it co-mingled - joint account?  House in both names?[/quote]
