We weren't together near long enough for her to get half of my retirement, but when she proposed I dip into retirement savings to give her the money she initially wanted, I about went through the roof. That's where talking with the lawyer was worth the small amount it had cost me (we never went to court, but on this issue I was prepared to). It's definitely frustrating.

I'd say I'm ready to get out the fork. However, the only thing I can say right now without a doubt is that I'm ready to take the next step in dissolving the M. My W has dug herself a pretty deep hole and there's been no signs of momentum shift.
