How do divorces work exactly?

[fistfullofsteel]

Let's say Bill Gates never got a prenup and his wife left him after 5 years for whatever reason. Does she actually get 50% of all his assets? Would she have like $24 billion coming her way?

Not sure on his situation, but for me it was a simple procedure to have the monkey removed from my back.

 

[chesty]

it sucks and someone always get's hurt.

painfully. very.

 

[jnevin]

I does hurt. I'm able to joke about it a bit now, but I've never experienced anything like it and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Thank god I didn't have kids.

The divorce is really not the painfull part of it. It's the seperation and the dividing of stuff that you equally worked hard for and cherished. I gave mine everything. I told him that I was gonna start over and I did not want any reminders of him.

I did the same thing. I could care less. All I took was some furniture and some pots/pans and dishes. It was a clean and easy break.

I have never been there but everyone I know says it sucks no matter what the situation was!

In that case, I'm not sure since I'm still married, but I think you have to fill a police report if she left you. That will count in the divorce process.
Hell fuck the moron who invented marriage. It would be better be free and make love to every girl in this world!!!

[Sassy69]

She says "GIMME HALF EDDIE. I WANT HALF!"

And next thing you know, she got it all and you got nuttin to hold but your tallywhacker.

 

[Evil_Frisky]

They sure aren't purty!

I'm still trying to Shake the monkey off my leg after a year...

He could have took all of it... I wanted away from here and as far away as possible from him but within visiting distance for my kids. He left me the house and all the bills to go with it

You meet a girl. You fuck like rabbits. She grows tired of your bullshit. She takes half of your salary, your stuff, and your pension.

 

[Spartacus]

Mine has been just the opposite. Legally she gave me everything, but when we got her the apartment I let her take whatever she wanted from the house. I even bought her some furniture.

For us, the emotional aspect of it has made it terribly hard. We talk every now and then, and honestly I think this is a bad idea. Every time she leaves after coming over I feel totally destroyed and devastated, like I just got rolled over by a train. I sometimes think people who divorce on bad terms might have it easier...

It varies by state, but in most the "community property" ie, that which was accumulated during the marriage is split 50-50, based on real $ value.

The alimony issue is decided based upon years of marriage. If less than 10 years, it usually amounts to the spouse earning more paying the spouse earning less for the same amount of time they were married. If the marriage lasted for ten years or more, it can become lifetime payments, or until the spouse that is receiving remarries.

Regarding alimony, if one of the spouses can be proven to have had an extramarital affair, or even a one night stand, they most likely under law forfeit their ability to claim alimony.

Child support is a whole different issue, which I can go into, but won't unless asked to do so...

If I could give one bit of advice, ALWAYS get a GOOD (expensive) attorney to give you some counsel, if only one session to determine your rights, and what you could gain, or retain. It is money well spent unless you don't own anything to begin with, or you and spouse can agree to be reasonable. Even then, put your agreement into simple writing, and have it notarized for the future.
