[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You speak a lot about money.  Do you really think that your husband will refuse to pay half of private school tuition and college tuition?  It sounds like you and your husband have enough to pay 35-40k a year for the next 8 years.  [/quote]

I don’t know what he would do. He has a rich friend who was a director of a large bank and chose not to finance his sons’ college education after taking a second, much younger wife. They took full custody of the boys and she always brags how well she brought them up. But our of 3, only one made a professional career, second son was in a prison, a third one became a handyman. My son had classmates with pretty well-off  parents who all got moved to public schools after divorce so I guess it’s not that simple to provide for education in divorce documents. 
I won’t be able to foot the bill for 50% of my son’s tuition if the division of assets ends up totally unfair just because my husband has more money for lawyers. and I would have to build everything anew while being well after 40 yo.

It’s not me who started it or moved to the basement - “unloading” wives and kids prior to sale of a company is a very common practice among entrepreneurs from what I gathered from attorney I spoke to. It is a harsh reality of American life that I discovered 15 years after... [/quote]

If you are both from the former USSR, then surely you know that most men who built fortunes in the new Russia have offloaded their wives #1 and moved on to new models and kids with them by now.  It's not just an American thing. It's an "update" mentality - I have more money now, I deserve an update.  It's rare to find a man in the Forbes Russia list who's still married to his college sweetheart.  OK, maybe Mr Gazprom still is. Kudos for that.[/quote]
