You cannot go after potential future earnings. Instead, the business is valued based on present earnings and value and that value is divided as a marital asset.

WisRes,
Quote " This sucks. Why can't people be required to function and take responsibility for themselves? "
Because a large majority of women like a system that allows them to live off a man, and they vote. It is just that simple. If you have decent income, it is stupid to get married ever to a person who doesn't...

Well maybe the men who don't like it should vote as well, or do you not think it's a large enough marjority?

To yregna - When we married he made twice what I was making, now he makes a whole lot less. I didn't marry him because of how much $$ he was making. Much of it was paid out in CS for the first 7 years we were married anyway. But he voluntarily quit that job, and the next job, to become quite uselessly self-employed. It's one of the reasons I'm sick of the marriage.

To Maury - So, if he uses the "lousy economy" as an excuse for not earning any wages, that's too bad? That stinks. Economy and booze have never affected his income. His lack of desire to work has affected his income. Sounds to me like I'm s.o.l.
BTW - I got the official email from my lawyer today that he's requesting maintenance.

I agree 100000% your incomes are hardly different. Do not offer a thing. [/quote]
I'd normally agree but I didn't see the total income anywhere. Maybe I missed it. $10K to you o I is nothing. It might be a lot to some. Who knows.

Well, I'm not rolling in it. I make $34,000 a year, he makes between $23,000 and $25,000. I'm telling my lawyer we are fighting this thing until dooms day. I just itemized my expenses for living on my own and there's not much left. If I have to give him $300-$400 a month, I'll go in the hole.

What kind of a man wouldn't be embarassed to ask for SS? My husband! And for such reasons, no fault divorce is a wonderful option. :-)

I dunno, how about all those women who ask for it each year? Not sure what the difference is gender wise.
