[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so pathetic that anyone would feel entitled to someone else’s 401k - man or woman. If you wanted a 401k, get a job and earn it.[/quote]

I agree. I’m the XDW with the XDH who is going after my 401(k). We earned about the same income and we both had 401(k)s. But I managed to save a lot more even though I paid 100% of the mortgage and maybe 80% of the private school bills. I used to joke to my mom and sister that I didn’t know where his paycheck went. I still don’t.

That said, trying to get something different than a 50-50 split is really hard. The greedy spouse will always argue that they couldn’t save because they were footing car repair bills or new appliances or whatever each month. At the end of the day, the judge will probably decide that household money is fungible, and unless you can prove an account in the Cayman Islands or that he supported his AP in an apartment or something, spending your money to get your lawyers to pursue this, or hiring a forensic accountant, probably isn’t worth your time. Of course every case is different, and talk to your lawyer about your own case, but this is what my lawyers told me.

I can still think XDH is greedy and pathetic, though.[/quote]
