Unconscionability is one way to toss out a pre-nup, but one of the other things in Texas for a pre-nup (now usually called a "pre-marital agreement") to be enforceable is that both sides have to reasonably disclose their assets before signing, and I 100% guarantee you he didn't do it.P-Mack posted:Seeing as the child support bit is absurdly invalid does that toss the whole agreement out if there's no severability clause? Yes you're probably right, and since he didn't have a lawyer draft it - if he did, the child support thing wouldn't be in there - I highly doubt there was a severability clause. Lastly: this is one of those loving clients who you can tell over and over again how they hosed up and how its not likely you're going to get everything you want here, and they still just never comprehend that they can't do whatever they want and still get everything they want. Btw, his lawyer, the Judge, the other side, the pleadings, the family code all call it "Spousal Maintenance" now, not Alimony, so you can tell he hasn't really been paying attention. I'm glad I don't do family law.

Recent ex works at a newspaper and ran a full page story about me being a pedophile, it's just revengequote:So I broke up with my girlfriend of 6 years, about to be engaged when I found out she cheated on me. A friend linked me a video clip of her on a cam site being intimate with a guy on our couch. I moved all my stuff out while she worked and sent her a text saying goodbye and a link to the video. She starts apologizing and claims it was to help her male friend make money, then once that didn't work she claimed he forced her and I should protect her better and at this point I blocked her number.

My favorite detail is "should I unblock her and ask her what the hell?" I think she made her position pretty clear when she ran a phony front-page story in the local paper calling you a pedophile, dude, there's not really anything more to say here

ArbitraryC posted:Also I thought alimony was p rare in 2018, I'm surprised it was awarded when it does sound like the ex wife has a full time reasonable job. Alimony is awarded in order to prevent a quality of life change. That's why you see, for example, extremely rich divorcees paying out millions in alimony to their exes. If both parties are of comparable earning potential, and this is demonstrated in court to the satisfaction of the presiding judge, then alimony is not usually awarded.

La Brea Carpet posted:Recent ex works at a newspaper and ran a full page story about me being a pedophile, it's just revenge So your ex tried to ruin your life but inadvertently wrote you a cheque to the tune of whatever that newspaper's assets are, plus she got herself fired and probably destroyed any prospect of getting a job that isn't a store clerk. Everything worked out just fine, I'd say.

ArbitraryC posted:Is there a reason for that? Like I understand the situation where one parent gave up their career to be a stay at home spouse but if they've both been working the whole time and both have liveable wages afterwards it strikes me as a bit odd Livable wages don't exist in a vacuum, basically. You can live off 40,000 a year, but if you were previously living off of 100,000 a year, it's actually legitimately difficult to downgrade gracefully given car payments, other bills, etc. Generally, alimony as it is today tends to be temporary and is discretionarily awarded. For the news story dude, yeah uh retractions don't mean a loving thing and toothpaste not going back into the bottle is like one of the most basic parts of libel law

It was a really, really, really poorly-thought-out plan, and the only explanation I can think of is that she was Extremely Mad for like 24 hours straight without the requisite 30 seconds' worth of calmness necessary to think "maybe this will backfire super hard though?" I sincerely think an insanity defense is her best bet because a rage-fugue is the only plausible explanation

I mean she might just be loving stupid and a liar Considering her first defense against being caught cheating on video was "well I made money from it" and her fall back was "when you think about it this is actually your fault for not busting through the wall and beating him to death despite not knowing it was happening" she might be a moron

My parents divorced in 97ish, and my mom got alimony for 20 years. She is very short sighted and made a bunch of terrible financial and life choices and now has pretty much no money. My sister and I told her to sock it away, but she spent every penny and then some. She also got a big lump sum and didn't pay taxes on it and the IRS went after her. I am guessing this scenario is common. She had no financial sense when married, why would she have it when nobody could tell her what to do? She could've been set for life, but now she has to work full time and live in a really cheap apartment.

I feel like I'm brainwashing him all over again. Also the libelous ex might be a new entry into my top five.
