I'm amazed at men in this state that bow down to threats of their ex over financial control. 50/50...

That is the same whore who won't think twice about using the kids as a weapon. The impact on the children will not be a concern to her.

Questions from someone unmarried:

Are alimony payments void if the two partners make even income (or the guy makes less than his wife)?

Also, what about the net worth of things built PRIOR to marriage?

Actually, when it matters is in the case of a broken engagement. That can be a gift subject to a resolutory condition, which is marriage.

OK, in LA. it's community property from date of marriage till date of separation. So before and after is yours or hers.

Inherited property is 100% yours regardless...it's yours.

Wedding ring purchased before legal marriage date....it's yours. End of story.

I have the "wedding" ring...she can't sell it, but I can.

100% yours or whatever she had before is 100% hers.

This is only true if the assets are kept separate. If they are co-mingled with jointly held assets she can make a claim.

Well, I know that's false.

If it's placed in any jointly-held account. It becomes community property.

Negative....the only claim is what is bought during marriage.

I can't make a claim on stuff she bought before marriage. No records to show that. Just like she can't claim property of mine before marriage.

The only thing she can possibly claim is retirement and business, if she want to take on the 90-120 day bills...yes please

Wrong. Inherited assets can 100% become community property if not handled correctly.

I'm not talking money, but property/furnishings/tools/appliances, etc.

Funny seeing the arguing, but I got what I needed and deserved. Maybe my attorney is that much smarter, don't know, but play your cards right and you don't lose your arse....my advice to guys

Wedding ring is a gift


I was told the same thing, not that it mattered since she pawned it off to pay her lawyer’s retainer fee. I did get to claim the money in my savings before we were married that I used as a down payment on the house after we were married. Made the buyout a lot better on my end.
She also tried to claim my golf cart as a gift since I bought it close to mother’s day. I told her to go frick herself

Assuming we are talking about the engagement ring. You gave it to her, it was a gift to her. She entered the marriage with it.

Seems you are arguing that you get 50% of your stuff, I dont know that anyone has ever denied that. You do however have a really, really odd way of describing HOW you ended up with half of your stuff and WHY you think you pulled off a grand caper.

Half of 401K and pensions is killer especially if the ex-wife earned little working.

The silver lining is that if you can come to an agreement on the value of the account, the courts typically will accept what the two people say is equitable. In my divorce, we went with 1/10 of the value of our retirement accounts on a specific day (don't remember the day, it was just a day we agreed we'd use to value the accounts). We'd been together about 1/5 of the time the accounts existed, so we said that portion of the value is what we'd consider community, and we each would get half of what the other had, so that's where we got the 1/10.

I ended up several grand behind when we netted it out, but a cash payment on the spot was accepted with no future claims on the accounts. I don't think the judge even read the agreement on the retirement accounts. He heard both attorneys say we were good with the paper in front of him, banged his gavel, and that was that. I wrote the check in the courtroom and my accounts were left intact to continue accruing through the time value of money. Best check I ever wrote.

Divorces suck, but they can suck less if you can come to an agreement without forcing the court to decide who gets what. Only the attorneys make money then. That was my argument to my ex-wife and she agreed, so we gutted through it and worked it out ourselves. I thanked my ex-wife for that, and I meant it.

I didn't pull off a grand caper, but I didn't "give" away anything and claimed what was mine and, because she is dumb, I claimed more than I should have gotten.

Bottom line is for men to claim what is rightfully yours and push for more, if possible, as to not get screwed financially.

As my attorney put it..."It doesn't matter how many dicks she had in her or how many pussies you put your dick in, it's still 50/50 community property, no way around that in LA."

But, while I'm not coming out ahead NOW, I'm certainly not getting f'ed over by an ex. My point is just that, don't let yourself get screwed over by divorce.
