This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
[quote} If she really makes more than you, then why aren't YOU asking for alimony?
My lawyer asked me the same thing and I told him because that would just prolong things and I want to put this all behind me ASAP. It's really in my brain just way too much. I just to move on with my life. I don't want ANYTHING from her except to be out of my life completely.
That kind of worries me, like that maybe you have an income source that means you don't "make" as much as she does but you may GET much more.
No nothing like that. She makes around $17.00 per hour and I m make $12.00 an hour at a job I started last week. Before that I was unemployed for 7 months because the previous company I worked for 10 years closed down when sold. Everyone was let go.
If you've not been helping her out with money from time to time, she's not had to open a line of credit just to get living expenses, etc., and she's been doing OK for a year, then she doesn't need alimony, so they probably won't give it to her. [/quote]
I think what is happening is that at first she was all excited about getting her own place that she didn't realize just how hard it is out there on your own. Now that 15 months have passed she is starting to really struggle with her bills. Her job really owns he ass now.
