[quote=Anonymous]To play devil's advocate: OP detrimentally relied on DH's promise of lifetime commitment. To give her the benefit of the bargain, so to speak, she is entitled to:

(1) the  present value of half her husband's future earnings until retirement plus his retirement until his actuarial life expectancy

less:

(2) half of the present value of her projected income until retirement  plus her retirement until his actuarial life expectancy (assuming he has a lower life expectancy).

plus:

(3) half of their current net assets less half of their current net debts.

It sounds like the current offer is (3) plus 1/3 of the mortgage for three years and whatever she's legally entitled to from his retirement. From a contract perspective that sounds like not enough. I don't know what she's "legally entitled to" from his retirement, but that seems like the biggest hole. The present value of a retirement account is the value projected to retirement age and then discounted to present value. She's entitled to half of that.

Below I've pasted some info I found on the internet:[/quote]
