[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would file for divorce and ask for 1/2 the family business or life long alimony, child support and 1/2 of all real-estate and assets.  Don't wait till you find a job.  You own half that business.  You worked in that business so that was your job.

And, make a custody schedule where he is responsible 50% of the time.  Stop playing nice.

What are you waiting for?[/quote]

Hahahahahahahahah  life long alimony hahahahaha please stop[/quote]

OP here: I am waiting to finish my courses to sit for CPA and take as many exams as I can prior divorce actions, to upper my resume. I am not able to find a job at the moment at all! And I was making 100k 10 years ago.

My lawyer and several others told me I would not get life long alimony in DC as 1) I am young 2) I am educated 3) I will be getting assets in the divorce 4)my son is 15.

I don’t want to move out from my NWDC mansion until I get a job. I won’t be even asking for alimony - 50k/year for 2 years won’t make me a big difference and I will be under higher stress when living alone.[/quote]

CPA here.  First and foremost, listen to your attorney.  But with respect to job prospects, I am not sure getting your license will help at this point in your career.  That said, if you continue to pursue that option, you could theoretically crank it out in 1.5 years (assuming you only need to fulfill your 24 credit hours in accounting).  I did it while working full time with two young children...it wasn't pleasant but it is doable if you make it your single focus.  Just thought it might be helpful to put some sort timeframe around when you can expect to move on to the next stage.[/quote]

I only need 13.5 credits, as I already have prior finance related MS degree. I will finish my extra credits courses by the end of the summer and can take at least 1 CPA Exam in parallel. I do hope that pursuing a designation should help, at least somewhat. Of course I continue applying for jobs, but the market is just terrible![/quote]

Got it.  My suggestion would be to take FAR first - it's the hardest for most people, and it is nice to work your way backwards from the hardest to the easiest (because by the time you get to the last one you will be OVER IT and summoning the strength to study will not be easy).  Depending on your skillset you might want to consider other, easier certifications as well - like Certified Internal Auditor, Fraud Examiner and I believe there are some COSO 'certifications' as well.  Best of luck![/quote]

Thank you! I think taking the hardest first would also time it better, as I would be taking less difficult ones during the divorce under stress. [/quote]
