A colleague of mine was married for 8 years (1994-2002) and they're still fighting and going to court. They had 2 young daughters who are finally older than 21. He always stated that if they kept lawyers out of it and just gave the money to the daughters they'd all be better off.
She makes as much as him and is still going after his money. He's in his 36th year teaching and the reason he continues is to get as much as he can of a pension and to finally take home everything he earned instead of giving her a chunk. She's bringing him to court and wants to set the parameters of options for his pension.
It's a shame because he doesn't want to give anything to his daughters given all his ex-wife took that she used for herself and not them.
A typical brutal divorce.
Wouldn't she only be entitled to a small percentage of his pension since they were married 8 years? I assume he paid his child support, so the ex shouldn't have any more claims over his, that should be over.
