No one monitors the boards that closely. You should see some of the things posted here over the years. Lots of fighting, name calling, etc.

Why? Hasn't your question already been answered? Make a copy of every financial statement there is; the house loan, tax returns, retirements accounts, ect. and see an attorney this week.

Just a thought you might need to talk to your doctor about going on disability if that is going to happen in the near future. Being on disability can change the settlement. This is something to talk to your lawyer about. I would get several free consultations then pick one that you feel comfortable with.

It's not as simple as having his doctor write a note to say he's disabled. He is currently working 30+ hours a week, therefor he is NOT disabled.
He is still entitled to his share of her pension, other retirement accounts, and (hopefully) spousal support from her based on the disparity in their incomes.

He stated that he only gets to work at a specific job because it allows accommodations. If his disability has the potential to become even more debilitating then he needs to talk with him or her because his health is a definite deciding factor in any settlement agreements.

I have heard the standard used in divorce court is the government's decision on SSDI/SSI, you are either totally disabled or you are not. If his health issues become more debilitating in the future, that is his future concern. He is NOT totally disabled NOW.
His health should be a factor in the settlement agreement. His potential to become totally disabled sometime in the future AFTER the marriage has ended is a different story. His wife probably drives to work every day, should she get to say she can't pay spousal support because she may get in an accident someday and be unable to work ?
Encouraging someone who is not totally disabled to apply for benefits just to benefit their divorce proceedings is shameful.
