You’d be crazy and i’ll add stupid if you settle for anything less than 50/50 all around house and everything.

Take your 50% king.

Those are marital assets. Anything accumulated during the marriage is 50/50 unless an inheritance.

Turn the tables - would she take 30% to keep it from getting chilly?

Stop being her hero.

Take your fair share. 50% of everything.

Assuming there is no debt, you should get about 50% of the marital property. Was all of this acquired after marriage? Also remember contested matters are time consuming and costly. Evaluate what you would get on a net basis to see what your bottom line should be in your negotiations.

It depends on how long you have been Married? Why the divorce? If I’m oissed I say let the court decide and get 50%. Maybe settle for 40k of the 90.

You'd be nuts to take 7k

One thing not mentioned is that any value she had in her 401k before marriage is not a marital asset so it wouldn't be split 50/50 but the rest would

Secure everything you're entitled to! Times are hard right now. Her well being is no longer your concern!

This is no time for male pride or to be Nice.

Get half.

ThePancakeStalker · 2023-07-04T13:42:37+00:00

I might be the outlier on this, but what seems fair and honorable is that her stuff is hers, and your stuff is yours. Did you contribute to her 401k or her savings? If not, then take the 7k and say thank you. Then go 50/50 on the assets you both have a stake in. Just because you can go for more doesn't mean you morally deserve it.

Flip the script in your mind. What would she want?

Not standing up for your rights will actually hurt you and your kids in the long run. Asking for your legal share is fair and not unreasonable. If your stbx knows she can bully you into accepting less than she will know that when push comes to shove later on she can bully you into accepting situations involving the kids when coparenting. Stand your ground, respectfully, and accept no less than what is legally fair. If she wants to hissy fit over it, keep that bullshit away from your kids ears. Continue to be a dad and keep her antics out of the kids life for as much as you can control. REMEMBER, you are coparenting with her for a long time, establish your boundaries now or you’ll continue to not have any later

Say you’ll walk for 30% and fight for 50%. Up to her.

You need a new place to live and furnishings.

My Ex wife got a lot of money that the law says she was entitled to, but in reality...she never contributed to. It was money I earned despite her pulling time and resources away from my job and towards her during marriage. For me, I feel that if I didn't contribute in earning it, then I wouldn't want it. I can make my own money, I don't need anything from a woman. To each their own though.

Background_Pilot_158 · 2023-07-08T04:14:21+00:00

All you have to do is ask yourself: what would your ex do if the finances were reversed? Answer should be pretty clear.
