16 years is worth something. Have your lawyer start by taking him to the cleaners - you can negotiate down from there.
Because you negotiate down from there. Say all you really want is decent child support, the house and some furniture. You ask for the retirement, alimony, and some other stuff along with the stuff you really want. Then he'll go to the mat, you make some concessions, he thinks he got one over on you, but you walk away with everything you wanted.tomchamp said:

1. Why can't people realize divorce court is not the adversarial drama like on TV? It is a formula, you get what you get.BuddyLee said:
2. Good lawyer, bad lawyer, new lawyer, old lawyer, it doesn't mean crap except that you will pay more per hour so they can use the same formula and you get what you get.
3. Why does everyone always want to "take someone to the cleaners"? Just because it didn't work doesn't mean they deserve to be destitute the rest of their lives. If they racked up huge debt without your knowledge then fine stick them with that, but if it is marital debt both party's agreed to take on the debt, it should be split just like assets and property.
4. Why does every woman want "sole custody"? Granted some of the male gender is not always the most nurturing or dedicated but they are the kids parent as well and some guys do a decent job raising kids on their own.
5. Why is it the woman who always gets the sympathetic ear? Maybe Nitro Witch is just that, a biatch on wheels and is the problem instead of the bad ole boogy man.
6. Why is the guys military retirement always a target? Chics have 401K's and qualified retirement plans too but get huffy if some guy says fine, you get half my retirement, I get half yours.
7. WTF is up with alimony? Support your kids in a lifestyle they deserve, you owe the ex nothing. If you pay alimony to "maintain her lifestyle" does that mean you can get scheduled a conjugal visit to maintain yours?
I got full custody and child support from the ex, I used a male lawyer as did she. It doesn't matter the sex of the lawyer it is the zeal of their representation for you and the strength of your case.
As a few others have said ask for it all and take what the court says you deserve. Don't skimp on anything as you will regret it later.

I'll tell you why:
Because many women still forego their career to raise the kids and keep the home. When the guy decides to run off with his secretary, leaving the woman high and dry, she shouldn't have to suffer. He should pay. For his kids, for her, for her retirement.
In one fell swoop, these guys decide to destroy their wife and children's lives. They shouldn't be allowed to do that.
And it's not all formula. Child support is a formula, but everything else is up for negotiation. The house is worth X, the belongings are worth X, I'll keep this car, you keep the other one, etc etc. I know a lot of people that got screwed royally in a divorce because they weren't aggressive enough to get what was rightfully theirs and the lawyer wasn't aggressive enough, either.
The flip side of that is I don't think women who leave their husbands for anything other than abuse should get a dime. Nor should they get the kids.
You want out, baby - take off.
