What is the name of your state? CA
My friend's wife recently filed a divorce against him. His wife has never worked her entire life. They have been married for 10+ years, with 2 children both in elementary. I hear that in CA that marriage over 10 years, the alimony is for life or remarriage. Can this be changed based on the agreement of the two? Since CA is a community state that all properties must be divided 50/50? Does that include stocks, 401k? what about the house he purchased? It was bought during the marriage but she put nothing towards the mortgage. What is the basic child support he needs to provide? He makes 100% of the money to maintain the family. He has tried getting his wife to pick up a few job skills but she shows zero interest nor willingness. In fact, she blames him for pushing her to pick up a few basic office job skills.
I feel terrible for my friend and unfortunately, he doesn't have the time to consult a lawyer since he is working so hard to support a family of 4.
