Hey, fat lazy, dump the wife and let's talk. I'll whip ya into shape and make you like it. hehe.
In california, anything after 10 years or so (maybe 7) is considered a long-term marriage. So, theorectically, the ex could be paying me alimony for the rest of his life. However, the amount would depend on what I earn and my needs.
Have you and your wife attempted a compromise on the stay-at-home issue. For instance, suggest to her that she stay-at-home with your child until she/he reaches kindergarten or first grade, then she can go back to work.
Yes we talked.
Three words: unvested stock options…..on both sides, and this would be a significant hit, not that we are really dependent on them anyway. Also, in the engineering profession, leaving for 2-3 years and coming back really isn't an option. Because you're skills will be outdated.
