So how do you navigate that. Take her to court showing that you are divorcing bc she doesn't want to work on things?
Not much to navigate, because we've been married >10 years, she gets alimony and child support while I get screwed. It's a community property state, so she gets half of everything, even though I brought in 95% of everything!
The only thing I can preserve is my house which I smartly kept in my sole name that I bought before the marriage. But even then she gets a portion of the appreciation because part of the mortgage is paid by community property funds. (Trustingly, I opened a joint bank account 17 years ago after we reconciled after her first EA...) Look up Moore-Marsden if you are interested in my screwed up state!
