I guess the thing is, my attorney and I both KNEW I was not entitled to his bonus income after we are divorced, but he was giving it to me anyway, by his own decision.
I shouldn't have had 'expectations'...
I already had projects in mind each year--siding for the house, remodel the bathroom, pay down the mortgage, etc etc. Oh well, I will survive without it!
Legally, neither of his issues is 'enforceable', they could be taken to a judge if I wanted to argue it but it would probably cost more than it is worth.
The one issue is how high his salary is stated on the decree to calculate child support. (He thinks if bonus $$ is included there he shouldn't have to give me 25% of his bonuses, which was his idea anyway!)
The second issue is giving me my lump sum payout to even out our assets--he gives me $xx,000 and he gets to keep all the farm animals and equipment and the 401k. Atty listed due in 30 days, Dan wants 120 days. Apparently there is no set time period for that...
So worst-case scenario I don't get cuts of his bonus, which I am not legally entitled to anyway, and he gets to pay me by May 1 instead of Feb. 7..I suppose that is not so bad!
