[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, to clarify: the first portion of his RSUs has just vested. Even if they aren't part of marital property (see separation date debate), they are taken into account when calculating support. That's what the lawyer tells me. But to calculate value I need to spend a lot of money and I am not sure it is worth it. For the life of me I can't understand how this is going to be. I don't know if I am stupid or if my lawyer is shady. He is also quoting 3-4 hrs to draft a separation agreement and judgement forms- does that sound realistic? Then also there is negotiations and all - pretty expensive for me right now.

I am not on stbx's health insurance, and my company will pay cobra premiums for 6 months (reimburse them, to be exact). But it might be easier for me to just jump on his insurance, pay him like $100/mo and call it a day. For that I need to change my petition to "legal separation" though, I guess, as after divorce I won't be eligible.

You are separated heading to divorce.  You don't go on his insurance and even if you did come divorce he cannot keep you on.

If they just vested and you've been separated, living separated you are not entitled to them personally.  You may get them in the child support calculation but that is separate from what you are asking.  You sound like a hot mess.  Your date of separation should be the day he moved out.  I don't see your claim on RSU's as marital property when you are legally separated.  Are you offering 1/2 of everything you have during the marriage as well.

Have you even talked to your ex and tried to be reasonable?  Lawyers are out to make money.  How much are the RSU's?  You could spend thousands on each side to fight over something that isn't reasonable to fight over.  Most states require a length of time for divorce so if you demand that the separation date start now, you are prolonging your divorce as well.[/quote]
