Hypothetical question: The soon-to-be ex wants more than 50% of the marital assets, when she makes a 1/3 of the husband's salary and didn't pay anything for the house, cars, or kids. What to do?

You will probably date again and possibly re-marry. The chances of an older female finding that are few and far between. She devoted her life to raising your kids instead of building a steady career. How is 50% not fair?

"Now, a woman can climb the corp ladder quicker than their male counterpart"....you are sorely mistaken and you are stuck in the 1950's....wake up, equality is a fight that we still fight every day, in many many ways - including fair and equal pay for women. Also, marriage is a partnership - it's not your money or hers, it is a partnership.

Good point. Didn't even think that! Get a lawyer OP. You got this

Watch Divorce Inc on Netflix a prenup is shit once kids come into the picture. Get a lawyer and be civil especially around the kids.

Hey as someone who might be getting married in the foreseeable future, is it like a point in time "half" distributed during a divorce or do you split assets forever? Do people ever give/lend their assets to family during divorce proceedings so the ex can't get at it? How does anyone prove what the sum total is/ so you really have to offer up your books to a judge??

You should have got a pre-nup, this is going to hurt

Buy lube

Depends on your state but bottom line is get a GREAT lawyer now and take his advice. In fact you should have done that before even beginning to negotiate.

Varies by state and if you had issues w her past spending, you should have raised at the time, not now. Split 50/50 and move on with grace.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
