[quote=Anonymous]My divorce in MD was contested and cost about $200,000 for the first settlement (split about 50/50). After he stopped paying alimony and child support, I had to spend another $40,000 to go back to court and have his salary garnished. I was not working at the time, so the attorney fees came out of our joint assets. I had to pay for the entire $40k when we went back to court. Initial settlement would have been 50/50, but he spent down our assets maliciously while we were separated, so I got about 70% of the remaining assets, including 100% of our IRAs. I think this was very unusual, and the high costs were related to his high income level and the complexities of the case.[/quote]
