Well because he wants to keep all the cattle, the farm equipment, tools, and vehicles, I should be receiving a fairly substantial cash settlement. His 401K alone is equal to double my annual salary!
The thing is, I had agreed to a not-that-huge lump sum amount, but as I think of all the things he has that have value, I think that number is rising...I am not out to screw him but I do want to have what is equitable for me. At this point my income (including his child support $) provides for everything the kids need except medical insurance premiums. He writes his once-a-month check, and I do the rest. Even though he wants 'joint custody' the expenses are not 50/50 more like 90/10...
So anything I get I figure I can use to make the kids' lives secure. I am not as much of a spender as Dan. I do buy my share of Starbucks lattes and such, but where I splurge on a $30 sweater, he gets a $500 tool for the cattle business..
Anyone know what happens if he doesn't disclose his numbers? Do I just get to pick a number or do we have to force his hand? I don't want to pay more legal fees to get that information...
