I posted this on my other thread re. "fair spousal support", but thought I'd post it here to warn others to be careful!
I screwed up!!!! H and I had a discussion re. finances this morning and it went well except for MY MAJOR GOOF! I tried to figure out a reasonable figure for his retirement and "offered" that to be paid up front instead of monthly after he retires (since he would have more available money now), AND suggested we wait to split the equity on the house until after we sell it.
My mistake was counting the retirement money as an asset to be split when my figure was already based on only a portion to start with(slightly less than half based on my tiny pension). I called him as soon as I realized my math mistake, but he has not returned my call. I can't believe I am so dumb!!! Don't do anything without your lawyer's approval!!!!!
