I know people mean well, but I really don't like "well-meaning" people who think that I'm just taking it all laying down. Texas is a community-property state and a no-fault state. People think it's so easy to snap my fingers, and my lawyer will work it out so that my WAH gets nada.
Not to hijack, but this is the same here in Alabama and we are not even a community property state. Equitable adjustment means just that - and from a court view 50 -50 is the starting point. The property division is not a punishment tool as much as some folks want it to be. Hop over to my thread and you can see the same type of settlement discussions. The 401k is a biggie and personal but it is "community" property nevertheless since both "contributed" to it per the family budget.
