Im in the process of divorcing my wife and Im worried she may blackmail me. I currently work in a project based environment and make quite a bit more than she does. Over the course of this project we didi a fantastic job of spending almost all of the money that I earned, I've only recently been able to put a few thousand away.My project ends at the end of November and I will have maybe $4,000 saved and after that I will be on unemployment of $475 a week for most likely the next 4-6 months as I look for another project. she makes approx $35K. Tonight she hacked into my email accounts and found some extremely sensitive and embarrassing emails to other men whom I have been involved with during the time that we have been together. Its not something I'm proud of but I did it and I own that. It actually has nothing to do with why I am seeking a divorce, but its now become a mitigating factor. Im afraid that she will take this opportunity to take advantage of me financially and leave me in ruins. She had already threatened to liquidate my personal belongings (I removed the majority of them from our shared apartment and placed them in storage). I need some help figuring out what the standard for spousal support looks like (I live in Oregon). we have both worked full time or near full time since we started our relationship with a few exceptions lasting only a few months each time. Ive taken the car, which was a gift from my parents, but left her my computer (also a gift from my parents) as well as all of the other shared belongings. Im worried that she will threaten to send my friends, family and coworkers copies of my emails if I do not agree to give her our car and half of my income. Please help me, this would surely mean being ostracized from my career not to mention the friends and family. Please, anyone with insight?
