My STBXH is a very selfish man(understatement of the year). Anyway he made a financial offer fof what amount to be getting screwed over gain. I am disabled and can not work so I will have to make sure I get a lasting settlement.

I countered offered and included the vehicles and things like that. I also included his humidors, he told me I could keep them. Like what good would they do me?

Doe anybody know how to settle financially without it getting ugly? The divorce itself is going to be ugly enough.

It rarely happens. You can try mediation, but that only works if both partners are open to discussion.

In your case, with you being unable to work, you'll probably need a lot more then he will willingly give up. So unless you're willing to lower your lifestyle with what he offers, or he realizes he'll need to anty up more under the circumstances, I would prepare for court appearances.

Mediation only works if both parties want it to work and are already close to being on the same page. I'm thinking that you'll be needing to go to a judge, because it's judges who make decisions for you and can/will force someone to do something. A mediator's job is to get an agreement, any agreement, and not "care" if one party is happy about it or not.

I think you'll be needing your official declarations/findings that you're disabled and cannot work in order to sway a judge to write a decision that protects you. Even then, you also need to be prepared that your STBX may still find ways not to provide support to you.

I'm sorry to say but I don't know if there is a way to settle financial issues in your situation without it getting ugly. You may have to do some research on your own or hire an attorney with experience in divorce and disability.

Are you receiving SSDI or any other type of government assistance? I think it may be helpful to document the amount of support you relied on from him throughout your marriage.

It does not seem as if your stbxh gives a shit about anyone but himself so you are going to have to advocate HARD for yourself. You CAN do this! Good luck!!

This is no time to be nice or screw around. This is the rest of your life you're talking about here. A good lawyer will be money well spent. Do not deal with this asshole without the support of a lawyer with experience in this issue.

Marriages that start this way, stepping over the bodies of loved ones as the giddy couple walks down the aisle, are not likely to last.
