My husband filed two yrs ago this May and we just reached a settlement last week We both had to give more than we said we would. I ended up giving him a additional night every week and every other weekend. I also had to give him equity in our home but not until 4 years and in installments. I received alimony for 7 years and childsupport until child is out of highschool. I c ontinued to hold the threat of a trial over my husband and his reputation would have been at stake. That was my main leverage, but when all was said and done we both had to give inorder to get half of what we wanted. The lawyers made a fortune. It is really sad that a marriage ends as a business arrangement with no winners.
