[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree you should be asking for half. Or 100% of what you’re entitled to, and don’t settle for less. This guy has bled you dry. You’re both entitled to a fresh start. I would not get contentious but he should follow the letter of the law — with no kids there is a formula in these cases. Just use it and move on.

Do NOT settle for less because you feel guilty. You do not owe him. The opposite. He broke his vow by refusing to get sober. He is the one who is not keeping his commitments.[/quote]

OP is living about her means.  He did not bleed her dry.  50-50.[/quote]

But he has forced OP into living above her means if they are in a $1.2m condo. She wouldn't be living above "her means" if she were on her own with an income unfer $100k. She married a person making significantly more and I'm sure he wasn't willing to live in a place that she could afford half of with her means alone. So when one spouse is significantly poorer, marrying someone with more money does end up costing them a lot because they end up paying a higher proportion of the meager income to their joint expenses. There is no way for the OP to not live above her income in a scenario like this if they live in anything more expensive than what 2 $100k incomes could afford. [/quote]

Nice fantasy land you should write supernatural fiction.

No, PP is exactly right. That’s why OP getting a minimum of 1/3 of the joint assets is fair. [/quote]
