[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not get a job if you have been married over ten years. This will impact your alimony.

Talk to an attorney. All  assets  cumulated during your marriage will be split 50/50. Start saving cash. Good luck. [/quote]

Thanks.  They have been married over 10 years.  almost 15 I think.  I hope you are right about the 50/50 split, and I hope it includes future income for a considerable time.
It just makes me sick to think she might be stuck living in a crappy apartment, struggling to pay bills and he gets to have a nice house and easy life.
She is such a great person and he is slime. She took care of absolutely everything, so that he had to do nothing but think about work.  Maybe she made it too easy for him.
Anyway, I used to work with her and she is/was so smart, great degree.  She could have been as successful as him, or more so if she kept working, but he guilted her into staying home. 
Now, she is almost starting over in her mid-40's and it will take her another 10-15 years to get to a high level position with really good income.
He should definitely pay alimony while she starts over.

Ladies, this is a great example of why SAHM is not a long term career plan. Do it when your kids are little if you want and then get your azz back to work. Those kids are YOURS to provide for too and if anything happens to your husband (divorce or death) you've got to be prepared to step up and pay the bills. Now she's lost 15 years of putting in for SS and building income and reputation and experience in her industry. It ain't the way, my friends. I'll be damned I'm gonna wake up at 43 facing "starting over" with no way to take care of myself and my kids. [/quote]
