[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't matter where the money is sitting. All that matters is that he discloses it at the appropriate time and agrees to split it.

What does matter is whether he's spending it on things that don't result in an asset that can be split.

It's smart of a spouse with a high income married to someone who does not work to have the family live on less than the income allows. This minimizes how much money they'll spend on alimony since the concept behind alimony is that the non working spouse "should" get to keep living at the same level to which they're accustomed.

Personally, as a woman who earns a lot, I find it pretty appalling that this is the rule. It's one thing to not leave someone destitute, but just because my income allowed you to live the high life while we were together even though you could never have afforded that lifestyle before you met me, I shouldn't be responsible for keeping you in a posh lifestyle after we go our separate ways. You're not a child. Use your half of the assets to prop up your lifestyle if that's so important to you. Or better yet, get a job and support yourself like the healthy adult that you are. [/quote]
