[quote=Anonymous]Was there a significant event that you led to you  stopping working 18 months ago? Given he isn't in a very good financial situation and then had to take on full responsiblity for the family, I would assume there was a major illness with your child or some extenuating circumstance that led to you deciding to no longer contribute financially? You need to return to work so that you can take on your share again of the responsiblity for yourself and your half for your child. Did you have benefits and put money towards retirement while you were working?

I would say that fair would be to keep whatever you had before. Then I would look at the future and assess what you both need to ensure you will both have similar standards of living until your child is an adult. So look at both your incomes (once you are working or based on your previous income) and then work out how much each party has and needs to get through the next few years so the child has similar living standards in each home.

In terms of future, you will have an inheritance and so I don't see why you would go after him for his retirement funds. You also worked and can put money away for retirement from your employment and you have money comeing in. But I don't really get the spiteful men and women who like to see their ex wife or ex husband suffer and have the attitude of leave him or her with nothing, take every penny you can, kick them when they are down etc. [/quote]
