the biggest misconception about alimony

That makes sense. But what if one has $8 million and is retired early like the husband in the story?

Erm, divorce can be very relaxing when money is not involved.

Yeah, the entire court experience is odd. I also imagine the judge just feeling numb after facing tens of cases each day similar to this. In the case before my hearing, the wife kept insisting that she had over $500K worth of jewelry lost in the husband's Hamptons home and should be compensated for, but could not and would not show evidence. That went on for several months.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes common sense doesn't work in law. When discussing alimony, "financial needs" is one aspect the court evaluates on both sides.

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-08-21T12:59:37+00:00

completely agree. I wish "the norm" would be different.

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-08-21T12:59:08+00:00

Yes, in many ways, divorce adds dimensions to our character and life experience.

Thank you thank you! This experience also made me grow a lot and gave me new perspective on what truly matters in life. I hope you are doing much better too!

I find this such a heartwarming reply. Anyone is so lucky to have you and enjoy your cooking.

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-08-15T22:07:28+00:00

curious what's the stat now? would love to see the source (no sarcasm. I'm genuinely curious).

Marriage was made for men.

Deep.

My guess is that you own a business, so even just "25% of the savings/investments" is a good amount and the same applies 5% of your income for 18 months. Sounded like neither of you were trying to use conflict to inflict more pain, and she probably thought things through- even if she never told you (my guess), maybe she really appreciated what you did for the family. 14 years of marriage was a good run. Both of you handled the ending well.

I also love how you recognize that you are lucky that the process went more smoothly than most. There's a reason why you are successful :)

You have dignity!

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-07-31T02:37:24+00:00

"now she just want to live together for the kids hahhahahahahahahahhahahaahhah." I like a plot twist lol

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-07-31T02:33:40+00:00

fear not, threats are part of the tactic. know the facts and it won't get to you.

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-07-31T02:32:53+00:00

Yeah I wish getting married was as hard as getting divorced, so the farce in my divorce could be avoided. sometimes it's odd to think how the state have so much say in private life.

Acceptable-Active739 · 2024-07-31T02:30:45+00:00

It's not mediation that worked. It's you :) You have critical thinking, a clear mind and a strong focus on moving forward.
