Again though - she's not getting alimony. It's a different thing entirely - this is a property settlement.

Okay, property settlement for life ! what kind of mess is that.
I hear what you're saying. However, it may have actually been the best option at the time. Was your husband represented by counsel?
When it comes to divorce, it's always an emotional time. Always. But, there comes a point where you have to pack the emotion into a box and become businesslike, especially when there are considerable assets. It becomes a business transaction. I know this is easier to say than do (but I have been there), but when we let emotion make our decisions (like giving up, or relenting because we're just so tired of it and so empty), they often turn out to be poor decisions.
With that said, it IS possible that your husband made the right decision - had he fought it, he might have ended up even worse off. Obviously we don't know the full details, but it is something to consider.
It could be worse!
Yes he was represented by counsel, and he said it was very very emotional because he believed in forever. Thank you for the wise counsel, I'm just going to have to see it as a bill from here on out .(something to make you smile)
Remember whenever you start banging your head against the wall? It feels so nice when you stop![]()
Good for you, for being so pragmatic about it. I know it's a pain in the backside - but treating it as just another bill, is probably the best thing you can do.
Good luck![]()
Thank you for your time![]()
