1 year marriage spousal support
      #663526 - 05/26/10 04:31 PM

Marriage: 13 months
Location: California
Her salary: 60K (she has an MBA)
My salary 106K (I have a Masters too)

She is taking me to court. She wants spousal support and for me to pay her lawyer’s fee and her health insurance. Her employer offers health insurance.
I own a house (bought prior to marriage) and still making payments.

What is the likelihood of the judge granting her all her wishes and let her milk me???

I'm thinking that she may be on crack if she's thinking she has a PRAYER of getting ANYTHING after a one year marriage.

She can get her own health insurance when you're divorced OR you can remove her from yours during open season. Her health insurance will kick in.

She wants a divorce, she can pay for it.

Was your money ever in joint accounts? If not, I'm thinking Yes_Dad's answer might be one of the more polite ones -- I can think of a few.

The next time she looks at you or her attorney makes demands like that, I might have to look at them and say **Really? Seriously?** and keep on steppin'.

She won't get anything.

"She wants a divorce, she can pay for it."
Just to clarify... just because she's taking him to court does not necessarily mean she wants a divorce. I filed, but it was more out of need than want.

Yes, we used to have a joint checking account. But when we decided that we will divorce we split the money and closed the account.
We have been leaving apart for about 6 months. She never asked me for help nor will I think she needs help. Before we married she used to live by her self with no problems with the salary that she has right now.
Plus, she took pretty much everything we bought together including the wedding gifts. After she moved out I had to go buy plates to eat because she took them….. what a crazy person

By the way: she wants a divorce and so do I. We have a court date already. It will be in June.

Good point Sherron and that's certainly possible.

I could find myself in the same spot except I'm stubborn. I paid my STBX way thru life for TWO YEARS, he left and I will NOT pay any part of a divorce, I didn't want one.

But I can see where there might be different circumstances.

So essentially, she left the home, taking everything with her **if you REALLY wanted some of it back, you could probably get it** has been living on her own for six months, has her own accounts, nothing joint and she's asking for spousal support?

She wants to you pay her health insurance? AND her lawyer's fees?

I'll stand by Yes_Dad's answer. Telling her to pound sand comes to mind.

Dude, my ex kept the china. It had my monogram on the plates, ect. Psycho stuff. You are better off letting her have the plates, except the serving tray, which will come in handy when you crack her over the head with it.

Seriously, this sounds like a case of an attorney looking to put false hope in her head and real money in his pocket.

Ugh.......Not only does it sound like she's on crack to even ask for ANYTHING extra after a one year marriage, she's giving all women a bad name with this. She is the woman the stereotype was derived from......
