In A Divorce...

[dm_gsxr]

All those digital downloads, music, movies, eBooks...

Are worth nothing.

I have a couple hundred bucks in eBooks and a few grand in role playing game PDFs.

Are worth diddly squat in a divorce.

Per the financial disclosure paperwork, it's worth what you can sell it for. Since you can't resell them...

Not that the physical books, music, etc will get you all that much anyway.

I was reading an eBook on my iPad and I suddenly went *hey*

Just an interesting thought in these digital days

Of course, books and records don't count for much, even collectors, if she steals them and sells them out from under you without your knowledge or consent. Too late, then. DAMHIK.

Aren't divorces great? That's why I am all for gay marriage, they deserve the right to enjoy this feature of american life as well.

And of course we need to help out all those starving divorce lawyers.

hjaving gone through it myself and wateched a couple friends go through it I think the best thing is to just give it all to the bitch and move on. sell the house, cars, whatever you need to to pay off the debt, let her have whatever she wants and move on... it's only money you will make more .
the only other real option is that you fight for a year, end up pissed and depressed and your lawyer gets everything..

[vfrrider]

I'd love to give it all to her.

Oh, you're talking about money, sorry, my bad.

Honestly, it was just a late night reflection on the difference between digital property and physical property. Publishers place too much value on eBooks and prevent the resale which turns digital property into valuless bits and bytes. Not a commentary on past, present, or future legal actions.

Well you could've been more succinct in your first post then.

Just keep this in mind especially if theres kids and child support in question.....



   I used to think that id lose 1/2 my pay in a divirce settlement.......




   What I realized was the fact that in reality I'd get half of my pay BACK!


    Just something to think about!

[Kneescrubber]

I've been thru 2 divorces. Both with kids. There was a period of time (3-4 years) that I was paying 2 child supports. To be honest; I've never really recovered financially from that. But it's all a ok now. They're both grown and successful on their own. That's all a Dad wants.

Y'all obviously don't understand the new and improved Connie.

Go pick on someone else.

I would agree, except if there are kids involved

Plus lawyers effectively doubled their client base.  Good for them.

I gave her all and there were/are two kids.  In most states child support is a formula of gross income, so no surprises.  Easy squeezy.  No arguments about who gets what, and no arguments about child support.  I was in my late 30. If you're older and have substantial retirement accounts, YMMV.

Why do divorces cost so much?




































They're worth it.
