I am a SAHM in the middle of a divorce, from a mentally ill, abusive man, who currently doles out $1000/mo for me to live on with our two children. When all is said and done, I expect to have enough money to put away a nest egg and go to school to become self-supporting in the next 5 years.
I have a good friend who is splitting up with an equally ill and perhaps more abusive man. He has evicted her and their two kids from their home and gives them exactly nothing to live on. Fortunately, she has parents in the area. They lived together for years, but never got around to getting married. When all is said and done in her case, she will get child support. No nest egg, no spousal support. Everything she supported him in doing and gaining is completely his and she has no legal right to any of it.
Inertia about that “piece of paper” is wrecking her life.
