She's entitled to half his retirement even as deposited AFTER SHE WANTS A DIVORCE???
I mean .... a divorce in the offing seems like a pretty big change to the usual and customary, whichever way you slice it. Not in terms of justifying either party's evisceration of the savings, but in terms of ceasing to add more to any joint treasure chest, for sure.
No wonder so many men are pissed off ...... I will man the barricades with them.
ETA: Never mind. I missed the word "petitioner". Although that would apply to a man divorcing an adulterous wife, too, wouldn't it? So I will retain my indignation, just not as it applies here (to a degree, although you could argue her apparent willingness to coast on Thinker's financial coattails but not pursue divorce is putting him in a pretty awkward position, as above.)

Glad you're enjoying the office hurly-burly.
