[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So get a new job and ditch the DH. Find mom a retirement home. What's in any of this for you?[/quote]

Loser DH wants to take half of [b]my money[/b] and I am facing poverty. I think I’ll call in sick and check myself into the hospital for a few days. But then I can’t drop off DS at college. IDK… mom refuses any help unless I provide it in person. Did I mention she’s like an insane person now - not just forgetful.[/quote]

Do you have joint account?
Talk to a lawyer..
everything , will work out.[/quote]

I did. In my state unemployed spouse is entitled to 50% of everything plus alimony. Since DH is an abusive jerk, he will take it all.[/quote]

Well then it's not "your" money is it?[/quote]

I always thought alimony is supposed to protect lifetime SAH spouse for sacrificing their ability to earn a decent living.  IDK if being voluntarily unemployed counts..  Courts must consider the years each person worked and their earning capability and also proof of them taking care of kids/household too. IDK much, I do know it's painful to divorce if you are the earner and don't want to support another adult in their leisure.

I know 2 women who were taken advantage of by their unemployed exes wanting alimony.  Both stopped working to avoid paying alimony, divorce drags for years.  One got lucky finding a well-off BF and ex being from a wealthy family. His parents help support grandkids.  Another one isn't doing so well and also relies on family help but is living for years penny pinching and divorce not finalized.  Ex found a job to support himself though because no other choice, we'll see where this goes.

OP's DH will not be happy in divorce unless he has a family support or some source of income he can hide. He will have to find a job at some point, it' will be a kick in the butt. [/quote]
