[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I regret it every day, but I got blindsided and  didn't have a choice – I was told I was being divorced so he could pursue other options.  He got everything he wanted.  I suspect he has regrets once a month when he puts through the alimony, but that's about it.  [/quote]

Same boat. Devastating for me. Mild financial regret for him but only because he’s a miser. That check is nothing but a rounding error and temporary.[/quote]

Did you all not get a share of the marital assets and child support?[/quote]

You do. But it’s not helpful if your stbx or ex files just as their career takes off because of the support you’ve given them. Imagine a tech entrepreneur who’s been grinding for years and finally makes it big just after divorce (“coincidentally”), a doctor who finishes their fellowships and is almost in the clear paying down their loans and then divorces, or someone in a field where deferred comp only happens at a certain executive level which they were promoted to after the filing.

Those are the spouses of acquaintances of mine who screwed over their supporting/trailing/compromised spouses big time with the timing of their filing.[/quote]

Elon Musk's first wife wrote about how his team was trying to cut her out of any chance at PayPal, etc.  Before he hit it big.  They had 5 kids and she got a very modest settlement considering he is now the 2nd richest man on earth.

I believe she's happy to be well rid of the loon.  He behaves oddly with his partners and children.[/quote]

What an a-hole. Not taking care of his first set of FIVE kids or the wife and mother of all five of them who propped him up and the whole household whilst he ignored them all and worked 24/7 at a startup.

They all sacrificed so much and for so long and got peanuts. [/quote]
