Beyond the 30% though....there is insurance, life insurance, deductibles, school events, summer camps and a variety of other goodies a lawyer can smack you with unless you have a good attorney yourself.

Not all women go that route and I'm not sure that I think it's fair at all to leave a man with scant little to continue his life on.....but some women do. Given past history....yours may be prone to take it to the limit for benefits.

You may have to pay her alimony until she can 'find' a job. The courts would probably give her some reasonable time between 3-6 months.

I never got a dime. I'm such an idiot.
