I have been married for 5 years and have been with my husband for 6 years. He is a Army soldier. We have lived in Germany for the past 4 and half years. My husband just recently told me that our hole marrige was based on lies, and that he has never been in love with me!!!! He told me the truth about everything!!!! He has cheated on me so many times that he can't remember!!!!! My question is what can I get in the divorce? Do we have to split everything, and can I make him pay for pain and suffering?
SuraBaby answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 1:47 pm: If there's a prenup then it all depends, but if not you get the usual everything that was yours before the marriage but you also get something like 75% of everything else if he cheats. My sister is getting divorced, so I overheard them talking about it. [ SuraBaby's advice column | Ask SuraBaby A Question ]
Jeeves answered Tuesday July 12 2005, 1:35 am: First off, you do not have to split everything down the middle, unless you signed a contract stating that you did. If you didn't do that, then talk to your lawyer about what you want to go for then appeal it in court. I think what you mean by pain and suffering is actually "emotional distress." In the eyes of the law, pain and suffering is when a surgeon leaves his beeper in your colon. However, from what I'm hearing I don't really think you're a candidate for that because you didn't have to seek psychological attention or hospitalization due to hysteria from the shock. That was a really ominous thing for him to do but really I think the most you can get from all of this is the house and the car and knowing you're better than him morally.

talktome224 answered Monday July 11 2005, 9:21 pm: from wat i know you can get a split divorce meaning you would get half of everything perchased during the marraige if it has caused serious emtional pain like hair loss or even weight gain and if you have been medicated because you have been emtionaly destressed
good luck sorry

girlygirl answered Monday July 11 2005, 4:32 pm: don't say a word - get all your ducks in a row first. Like a separate bank account, separate credit cards etc. and then go to an attorney off-base to file.
In the military, adultery is a punishable crime... you have all the cards in your hands, especially if you have some real proof.
If you don't get the response you need, call his commanding officer or first sergeant and make an appointment for a private discussion and spill the beans. [ girlygirl's advice column | Ask girlygirl A Question ]
