[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half his retirement fund, half the joint account, plus alimony since you're not working and child support for your child. Did he not think he was going to split retirement with you when you got married? Without a pre-nup, you should assume he intended for you to have half of any money he came in with. [/quote]

She's not entitled to half his retirement when they didn't even get married until he was past 50 and had already saved most of it.  Get real.[/quote]

Marriage is a merging of two poeple in ot one -- that includes assets according to the laws of the relevant state. If he didn't feel that way, he shouldn't have gotten married and had a child, or should have had a differnet prenup - he wasn't a child groom after all.[/quote]

That’s not how the law works.

Money is earned before the marriage is not considered marital assets.

The law does not believe you are emerging two people.

The law believes that while you’re married, whatever happens financially during the marriage is half the responsibility of one spouse and half the responsibility of the other spells, even if it’s Debt.

If you come into a marriage with student loans and get divorced, your spouse is not responsible for your student loans.

If you come into the marriage with money and get divorced, your spouse is not entitled to that money[/quote]

Again, this is not accurate and OP needs to really get an attorney now who understands how her jurisdiction handles premarital assets and commingling. It is NOT black and white and these kinds of comments are going to lead OP into a situation that causes her to not exert her legal rights.[/quote]
