[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I regret it every day, but I got blindsided and  didn't have a choice – I was told I was being divorced so he could pursue other options.  He got everything he wanted.  I suspect he has regrets once a month when he puts through the alimony, but that's about it.  [/quote]

Same boat. Devastating for me. Mild financial regret for him but only because he’s a miser. That check is nothing but a rounding error and temporary.[/quote]

Did you all not get a share of the marital assets and child support?[/quote]

You do. But it’s not helpful if your stbx or ex files just as their career takes off because of the support you’ve given them. Imagine a tech entrepreneur who’s been grinding for years and finally makes it big just after divorce (“coincidentally”), a doctor who finishes their fellowships and is almost in the clear paying down their loans and then divorces, or someone in a field where deferred comp only happens at a certain executive level which they were promoted to after the filing.

Those are the spouses of acquaintances of mine who screwed over their supporting/trailing/compromised spouses big time with the timing of their filing.[/quote]

Elon Musk's first wife wrote about how his team was trying to cut her out of any chance at PayPal, etc.  Before he hit it big.  They had 5 kids and she got a very modest settlement considering he is now the 2nd richest man on earth.

I believe she's happy to be well rid of the loon.  He behaves oddly with his partners and children.[/quote]
