[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]extremely common. this is why women need to get the best divorce settlement they can including college tuition and life insurance to the extent possible. [/quote]

If the children are left with nothing, that’s also on the Mom — absent a prenup, the ex-wife should have gotten half the assets accumulated during marriage.  [/quote]

My father divorced my mother just over 40 years ago when she was pregnant with me and had my preschool brother and sister to take care of as well. In the divorce, she was awarded the house they'd paid $80K for and reasonable child and spousal support. Dad was fairly generous with college, as per the divorce decree. My mom worked in family-friendly jobs as we were growing up, but never made a fortune. She gets a small pension in retirement now. Dad remarried but never had additional kids, so I would assume he'll leave us something in his will. Who knows? Mom stayed in the family home, the payments and taxes were manageable for her. She had boyfriends but never remarried. The house is in Marin County, CA and is worth over $1.5MM today, which will go to my siblings and me at some point.

We're OK, and I imagine this is a similar story for many.[/quote]
