Sure, it *will* past that a man who has made well into 6 figures for some time has lost the majority of his income, retirement and assets. It certainly will past but take quite some time to recover from.
And S *did* protect himself right off the bat. In fact, his legal counsel is make up of THREE attnys... one being a pure litigator, a family law attny and the senior partner of the firm. The temporary orders were put in place days after his W left. And before you say find a new attny... he did. Twice.
His W never had any intention of coming back and has reamed him financially at every turn. Read the thread instead of giving advice that doesn't pertain. His W set herself up very nicely by waiting for the 10 year mark to pass AND remaining unemployed for some time. His W left him without a dime in her pocket, retained C and nabbed him to pay for EVERYTHING (housing, car and her legal fees). And she won (won meaning in a legal sense).
Can you imagine making well into 6 figures and not have a penny of debt other than a house payment and still not be able to afford a 6.00 trip to the grocery store due to the MASSIVE amount of spousal support and child support and insurance he was ordered to pay? On top of all of that he is now being ordered to pay even more.
It's easy to make judgements if you have never been there. Sure, it will pass but not anytime soon. Money doesn't grow on trees no matter how hard you work. S is commuting THREE hours per day to work at the job that makes him the most money so he can meet these damn obligations.
