I’ve said before that a requirement for spending time with me is to be a total smart a$$. But sometimes they outdo themselves.
Today is my tenth wedding anniversary. I forgot about it since I only think about the fact that I’m married whenever my divorce plans are rejected by the court again. (Isn’t there something special about 10 years? I just remember that Tom Cruise dumped Nicole Kidman right before their tenth anniversary because pre-nups aren’t valid after that. I don’t have a pre-nup so it isn’t an issue. But is it sad that my legal knowledge comes from People magazine?)
My brother and SIL brought me a happy anniversary card and then called to tell me about it since they forgot to send it. I got a call from the SO bright and early this morning to wish me a happy anniversary. Aren’t they all so sweet?
After 10 years you can get alimony. Most lawers try to push paperwork through if they know that deadline is coming. Being that you have a smaller income then him you should be eligible.
Wikipedia has a page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alimony
Talk to your lawyer about it if you are intrested.
