Question to those of you who've divorced... property division?
I live in a state that is "no fault". My XAH contested the proposed settlement, so our divorce went to trial in front of a judge. The decision on the division of the marital assets is now in the judge's lap. I am waiting.
We have a minor child... a teenager.
Currently, my X is living in an apartment... down and out. He hit bottom two years ago, and has stayed there. Doesn't pay his bills, hasn't paid child support. Not my fault.
His atty painted the picture of him living hand to mouth... and me in luxury.
Fact is, I've picked up all the pieces and am living as I always have. Responsible. He's asking for alimony and lots of money.
The judge is conservative. My atty is asking for an unequal division of assets. I've always earned 50% more in income than my XAH.
I'm hoping and praying the judge sees it for what it is.
I'm wondering if any of you have gone through this and come out OK?
IMO, my X doesn't deserve a dime. He chose alcohol over his family. But the legal system is black and white, I know.
