6. my nephew is in the middle of a divorce in wis

Feb 2017

he was mr mom. he was making good money until his wife insisted on moving for a job. he did a lot of freelance work, but hasnt had a regular job in over 10 years.
he supported her through 3 post grad degrees. when he was working family came first.

but he is getting screwed by their determination of how much he ought to be worth. sure, he should be worth at least what he was makin in his last job, but that was over 10 years ago.

and yeah, the ex climbed the corporate ladder to the high rungs. he never credited the image of the hubby w the good wife and 4 kids in the least.

but in the end the judge was a lot more generous than he was or ever would be. we built a lot together and my frugalness meant as much as his income.
