Nope! The lawyers put my retirement(PERA) which will be worth $650,000 (sometime in the future when I can afford to retire) against the worth of his business and it came out even. My xh's ow is the vice president of the business, so she had "cooked the books" and down-sized his salary by 2/3. We did a business evaluation, but they just took the books SHE had cooked! I asked for maintenance AND future earnings, but my attorney said since on the financial statement our earnings were declared as the same I wouldn't have a chance in court. LYING AND CHEATING prevailed over honesty. He "graciously" gave me the retirement accounts and the equity in the house, but that's it. Now, he's back to making $200,000+ per year to my teacher's salary.
