I am consulting divorce attorneys regarding my impeding divorce from my soon to be ex husband of 11 years. Here are our stats:
Late thirties
My income: 125k
His income: varies since he is self employed for the past 5 years. Some years he has made 300k, the past 2 years he has made 120k-60k, this year he has made 15k so far? He also works part time at a local music store teaching music making $20/hr
We do not have any kids or property as we rent. I have a small 401k of 250k and he has no retirement savings.
I would like to file due to him wasting my time and refusing to grow up and breaking all his vows; serial cheating and alcoholism, gaslighting, refusing to obtain steady employment and work on shared goals.
I am devastated and furious, I thought he could at least pay me to freeze my eggs or I can get some alimony to rebuild my life.
I have met with 3 attorneys and they all recommend a noncontentious divorce that is cheap and quick as we have nothing to fight over and for me to tell him we each walk away with what we have.
I want to make him pay!! But apparently I can't??
