[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in a similar, gender swapped, situation on a /much/ smaller scale. Even down to meeting my husband when I was finishing subspecialty training and just starting a lucrative partnership track job in my early 30's. Husband didn't want to touch trust, so we basically live off my income while his savings remains premarital assets and untouched and he works a modestly paid public interest job. In our case, we created a stepwise system where I gradually become his beneficiary of that trust to a max 1/3 after 20 years. We are currently at year 17! The remainder is split evenly between his son and our son. It makes my husband feel better because his premarital assets remain intact with the majority passing to our kids. And I'm fine with being the breadwinner and saving less because it functionally acts like savings for me.

If anyone thinks this is too much, especially when there are step kids involved, I'll point out my income funded private school, college, and grad school for my stepson. Things my husband would have had to dig into the trust for had I not been in the picture. He stopped the big law lifestyle when he met me and was also able to spend much more time at home and with both kids.[/quote]

"I'll point out my income funded private school, college, and grad school for my stepson." You're an idiot for paying for this. He absolutely should have used the trust fund for this.[/quote]

I agree. Why would you pay for a stepson‘s education if the father sits on a trust fund? Weird[/quote]
