[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, 100%, his retirement accounts are bigger via work but I can do/spend what I want but we don't have nearly the income you do.  I would talk to my husband about care and he'd have no issue if we could afford it and that's what I wanted to do.  But, reality is my husband doesn't care as long as I'm reasonable and don't make us broke.  I could buy a new car tomorrow and he wouldn't care (well, he'd be thrilled).[/quote]

These retirement accounts need to be evened out. What happens if you divorce?[/quote]

I cannot imagine that ever happening but if it did, I'd get half of everything and I'd figure it out.  He puts maxes out my retirement every year and keeps money in my name only.  We will also keep a recent inheritance in my name only.  He's made sure I'd be ok if something happened to him, i.e. death.  We planned for that with me not working and because of my health issues.  SAHM's should look at their spouses behavior and see how secure their marriage is.  If he will not help out with your family, that speaks volumes.  If he wants things like your inheritance, that speaks volumes.  If he doesn't do things like make sure you have access to money and savings, that speaks volumes.   If he controls spending (outside a reasonable budget depending on income), that's a huge red flag.  If its a bigger amount I'd only tell him as he'd wonder why so much was going out of the checking but otherwise he couldn't care less.[/quote]

You would get half of the martial share. Not half of all of it.[/quote]
