[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in VA and divorced after 17 years marriage. I forfeited alimony for a flat percentage of his b uisness. 17 percent. He loved the deal for years until he got remarried and had another kid and his wife is furious I own a piece of "the kids future." At Easter she asked if I bought my purse with "My blood money check"!!! I smiled and said "yes and this matching wallet!" It varies between 24k to 36k a quarter. I did live on it for years but I got my masters and now have a better job so now it's just investment money and money for my kids. We agreed to 50/50 college and ex just last year said "Larla is hoping we can do 80/20 since your quarterly checks are so high." Hahahahahahahahahahabahahahha[/quote] Thank you for sharing your situation. I am considering doing something similar except (asking a percentage of his salary) and forfeiting alimony. Do you think it's possible? I have a graduate degree but was either in school (he did not pay for it) or took care of the kids and worked part time most of our marriage. Also, if you have a lawyer you could recommend, I would be grateful. [/quote] I had to show in court how I helped start the buisness. Was able to show how we co signed the initial lease and I worked in the office for years...even though I never drew a salary. My advice is to pay yourself minimum wage just to officially be on the books if working for family. Assuming you worked part time for your family business I think you would have a good case. My attorney stopped practicing 6 years ago. Sorry :( just be ready to prove how you were a vital part of the initial grassroots of the project. Exdh never really fought that either though. The main fight was deciding a percent. I really wanted a third in the beginning and settled at a percent for every year married. Also keep in mind your ex (or mine) could purposely run that business into the ground and you then get nothing. He can then go on and start a brand new business under the same model that you have no connection to. Luckily that is tons of work and most people aren't that mean but my lawyer had stories![/quote]
