[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree you're not really entitled to what he saved up before you met. I'd probably ask for 200,000 of the non-retirement funds plus generous child support.[/quote]

The law and the expired pre-nup say otherwise. Attorney, OP! This is not the amicable divorce he wants you to believe it is.[/quote]

Agree.  He's trying to gaslight you into thinking you deserve less than what you are entitled to under the law.  When he says he doesn't want you to "take him to the cleaners," he means he doesn't want to split assets equitably and legally, and he is using language to make you internalize your own powerlessness. The laws around the division of assets in a divorce exist for many reasons, including your self-sufficiency post-divorce. The division of marital assets is not a gift to you or a penalty to him—it's the dissolution of an economic partnership and a way to prevent you from becoming dependent on the state now.  The financial responsibility for you and your child's existence after your divorce should go to the marriage that created your economic interdependency, not us taxpayers through public assistance programs, which you will surely require if you listen to your STBXH and his ridiculous positions.
