[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I'm the alimony poster. We live in NY which is not a community property state. During the twenty years we've been married, I've stayed home and my husband worked. His work has produced a net worth of around 5 million excluding our house. Theoretically, he could argue that I did not contribute much money to our net worth and so I am not entitled to any of it in a divorce. On the other hand, you could argue that my staying at home freed him up to make that kind of money, yada yada. But of course, as pointed out in the article, we don't live in a society that values that type of work and so it is unlikely a judge would agree. And you all think that is fair?[/quote] Let’s be real: you can afford to lawyer up and assets would likely be split. But if you have a guy making $80k, he’s not equipped to pay much beyond child support. Both will need to work to maintain two households. [/quote]
