[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like a decent person. He is old and will probably have some health problems. He will need that retirement money to live. I would leave retirement and split the other money in half. Then just split the kid costs.

[b]You are relatively still young and will date again. [/b]Sounds like you are from a well off family. Just divorce amicably. No drama and no fighting about money will be good for your child. S/he will likely have to care for the elderly father one day.

Yeah, because the dating market is just bustling for 50 y/os. She's not far from retirement herself and should look out for herself. [/quote]

Everybody needs to look out for themselves in a divorce.  Don't be stupid.  Understand the law and get what is yours, and then get a job, because you are both going to be in the poor house after this divorce. [/quote]

I think this is so wrong. Too many bitter divorced people on this board. IRL I know a lot of people who acted decently towards their spouses in a divorce especially in a scenario like this where one is significantly older and closer to retirement.[/quote]

Acting decently does not require OP to be a martyr.   The older spouse went into this marriage with knowledge of the risks.  Keep emotions out of it and follow the law on division of assets and child support obligations. If you have a child in your fifties, then you are signing up to work until your seventies to provide for that child.  [/quote]
