[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would file for divorce and ask for 1/2 the family business or life long alimony, child support and 1/2 of all real-estate and assets.  Don't wait till you find a job.  You own half that business.  You worked in that business so that was your job.

And, make a custody schedule where he is responsible 50% of the time.  Stop playing nice.

What are you waiting for?[/quote]

If I file for a divorce and split it like that, I would be moving out from the large house we currently all live in (my ex will retain it, and I will retain smaller one as I can't afford the large one), into a much smaller townhouse or even an apartment. I will live on 120K net annual income (down from 440K current net income). I won't be getting much alimony or child support because of the assets that I would be getting in the divorce, and because I married my jerk very young and I am in my early 40s. I feel like he would increase his lifestyle and net income divorcing by 72% and my standard of living will go down significantly. I don't want that to happen, until I am able to "make up" at least some of that lost income.

Plus, I don't want to split the custody 50/50 - my child is in high school and I want to have 100% time with him the last years before I send him off to college....

I don't plan to date, re-marry, I hate men and just want to grow my child until college in the house where he was born.

I have a good lawyer. He thinks it is beneficial for me to delay, as all marital assets (including the jerk pension) are appreciating, the longer we are married.

He had a 5-year long affair, with mental and financial infidelity. [/quote]

I agree with your lawyer.
