Then he (46M) sent me (46F) an email laying 
out how all the finances would 
be, and then he blocked me for 3 months. We'd been married 
for 24 years. I was shocked.
He dragged the case on and on. My lawyer 
said, in front 
of the mediator, that she wouldn't take my case to trial (we had our mandatory mediation last week - it was horrible!!!) He is working 
toward a trial. Did I mention he's a trial lawyer? Personal injury.
We had a lot of money, like a lot, and drove a lexus and wore fancy 
clothes 
(him too, as much or more as me), and bought 2 houses together 
but could never 
work out staying there, and have rented for a decade and a half.
Now he wants 50 cents 
on the dollar 
of any penny 
I make - mind you I have no degree 
and stayed home to raise 
children 
while he went to law school. I'm disabled 
and we have multiple reports saying I'm too disabled to work. I'm asking for like 37% and he still won't agree.
Next is binding arbitration. I'm so scared, None of the judges have been very kind to me. And he always gets whatever 
he wants. ALWAYS.

Being a stay at home spouse with zero job skills is just begging
for disaster. What if the bread 
winner 
gets sick and can't work or straight up dies? It's betting the future 
on a coin flip with no backup plan. If heck froze over and I meet a rich woman 
who tells me I don't have to work I'd still maintain my professional 
license and probably work PRN.
