I didn't say that I would expect alimony from her. She is worried about that though. I've never once even mentioned it to her so I'm not sure where she came up with that idea. When she mentioned it again on Tuesday I told her that it was sad that she thought about all kinds of bad scenarios. I told her she shouldn't mind read things because she doesn't know what she's talking about.
It's not your job to make her feel better about her legal/financial anxieties, nor to educate her about same.
Here's your stock response: "To be honest, I've never been thru this before, so I'm letting my lawyer handle all of that. I trust his/her judgment to look out for my best interests."
