Now my husband is trying to bribe me with additional monetary support. He says he will wipe out all my financial debt & pay half my rent if I date him and give him yet another chance. This is of course once he receives his mom's inheritance.

The fact that a grown man needs inheritance to get ahead in life would be a major turn off for me. In fact even if I considered dating a man, after he said that he is waiting for mommy’s money to help be out, I’d lose his phone number. Embarrassing

Why is he still doing all this? Talking nonsense and bringing flowers when you aren’t home (stalkerish and inappropriate-don’t show up when I am not home and without a phone call- it’s creepy). Why isn’t he blocked? Ugh it’s like never ending story

From what I gathered, dating him isn’t even that much fun. And the fact that he thinks you’ll agree to do it for money is disturbing. What do some men think of women…like only money matters? How would he feel if a woman told him she’ll pay his debt and his rent if he dates her. I’d think it wouldn’t be acceptable. Why is it acceptable to offer women money in exchange of affection. Like what planet is that acceptable proposal? It sounds so bothersome on so many levels. It’s so disturbing

I asked the lawyer about my financial statement and whether I should tell the judge I am now unemployed. He tells me I don't need to tell him anything about my unemployment, which makes me think he is protecting my husband from having to pay alimony.

I feel I should tell the judge that my situation has changed since I completed my financial statement? What if my husband is ordered to pay me alimony because I lost my job? That would actually help me.... I think I should tell the judge this outright. What do you think?

Hope, no one pays alimony if you were unemployed only for a MONTH and prior to that you made over 100k, probably more than him! No one will award you alimony. He’s not protecting your husband. He’s telling you that your unemployment is irrelevant here. In addition you became unemployed after you two already didn’t live together and already filed for divorce.

Judge won’t care if you are employed or not. For you to receive alimony you have to ask for it in divorce. No one will award anything if you don’t ask for it. If you believe you have a chance, of course you can ask for alimony. And you can tell the judge you lost your job.

But I’d be in shock if you got it. There don’t appear to be any basis for alimony here. Were you dependent on your husband in the course of your marriage?
Thanks for this!

I've read that I can get alimony in Mass, even after being married for under 4 years. BUT, my sister just told me that my divorce agreement says he and I are waiving rights to alimony, so it's a moot point unless I decide to pay the lawyer more $, and revise the agreement. I don't think it's worth it though.... He could easily retaliate, which is very likely. I know him, and he is vindictive. He's made threats in the past.

You can get spousal support in most states but not after a month of unemployment after the divorce was already filed and not after being employed with higher income than your spouse

I will block him again when it comes to that point again.

He also gave me $250 last night, on his own initiative. I gave it back to him this morning, realizing that IF I keep accepting money from him, I will be beholden to him and will be obligated to keep the lines of communication open. It gives him rights and access to me that I don't want.

As it is, the other night he was arguing that if I don't want to get back together with him, that I shouldn't take money from him. He was scolding me, then took it all back when I pointed out he was scolding me. So, I just won't take any money then.

Court date is right around the corner.
Good for for standing up for yourself against your ex.

I don't really know how I feel. I just want all of it to be over.
That sounds reasonable to me.

UGH. This is what lying will do to you. This is the only opportunity in front of me right now, and if I screw this up, I am going to be really upset.
Good luck on your interview.

Don't know the law, but that looks like you could be playing with fire if you did decide to revise the agreement.
With your husband's health problems (bad back, chronic pot use), he could receive a disabled diagnosis, or even if he just gets laid off, he in turn could apply for alimony from you, perhaps even a few years after your divorce. Make sure you know any and all repercussions of making that change.
You don't need that hanging over your head. A nice clean break may be preferable.

You can’t apply for alimony after divorce is final. If you already receiving alimony, you could apply for increase or extension etc

But I agree with the rest. He could drag all this for longer. He could ask for alimony too because he was making less during marriage and has health problems, he won’t get it but it could drag longer

Thanks, everyone.

I won't revise the agreement at this stage to include any alimony. I don't want to drag things out, and I want this over with as quickly as possible. I also don't need him retaliating or trying to get alimony from me either. Probably best to just leave it as it is.
