[quote=patientlywaiting][quote=temeculaguy] divorcing a stay at home mom will leave him with barely enough to eat on, let alone pay a mortgage[/quote]

How about divorce the wife and ask her to get back to work immediately?

He has the money so he holds the cards.

I don’t think that any judge would approve of her staying at home and not working.

Pay the $40 grand now and get rid of her as fast you he can. That’s better than living with a whiner for the next 10 years.

Whoa horsey! What makes you think she’s a whiner? Stay at home moms aren’t whiners. It’s a family decision. For some families having a parent stay at home to care for the child/children makes the best sense. And if she hasn’t been working it can be a challenge to re-enter the workforce, especially during these economic times. I am not saying she shouldn’t get a job, but don’t make judgements until you have all the facts.
