[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to play devil's advocate and just say that it might be better to stay married and stop contributing to his retirement! Yes, I know he sucks as a partner and father but guess what? Chances are you'll live longer than he would given the gender gap in life expectancy and you wouldn't end up poorer after a divorce. Just stay married in name and do whatever the hell you want cos it's your $$$. But divorce, based on what the PPs here have stated, sounds like it would bring you down, rather than up.

Also, have you considered signing a post-nuptial agreement?

Just keep in mind that the longer she stays married, the larger the share of her retirement he will be entitled to. It never gets cheaper to wait before pulling the plug.

My advice is: avoid going to court. You are going to wind up giving him a lot anyway (and yes, it will suck, and you will bitterly think he doesn't deserve a penny of it) and it is best not to give the lawyers a ton of money as well.[/quote]
