I highly applaud the class and what Portia and Snodderly mentioned about negotiations. I can't begin to tell you how close I came to falling for similar "woe is me" disinformation. Remember that they view the world as dark and darker. Everything is never and forever and nothing ever goes right for them.
For all you know, he won the lottery, or he has money in an off-shore account, or a rich uncle somewhere. The list goes on, but you get the idea. And since you cannot trust him to tell you the truth, it makes it really hard to see what he really has or doesn't have.
That's why courts make you fill out so many forms regarding your assets. You fill them out and the judge enforces the law. Whether you can afford it or not is not really what the court is there for. They are there for the law.
And as it goes, you can always give back, but you'll have a really hard time getting more.
Get to the classes, be business-like, and be patient.
