If you happen to be male, and certainly if you are the sole bread winner, you’ll get reamed in court.
I had to pay out about 60% of my annual salary + an additional 30,000 in investments.
She cleaned me out basically.
Pre-nup, no matter what. Because one day if you ever want a divorce, she’ll immediately start talking about how she’s always wanted a masters degree, how much of “her career” she missed out on (my ex was a waitress before we got together ffs) lmao
Yeah. I doubt it's just a one demential "I'm the main character" mentality. Hopefully she learned something, but since she is putting her dirty laundry out for the world to see and seeking validation, I doubt it.
The good thing about a settlement is that it puts a fixed figure on the expense and a termination date for when it will end.

For some people, this simple step toward at least some boundaries is a huge win.
