My spouse has a large trust fund, before marriage. During our 15 year marriage, we've used the trust for pretty much everything: down payment on a large house, paying bills, vacations, paying our mortgage, spending money, even a monthly "distribution" of $4,ooo.
Because of this "nest egg," I've never put anything aside for myself. Was always told, "No need...you guys are fine, etc" Spouse doesn't work, and I've had below-average earnings over the span of our marriage....kinda got "spoiled" I guess....everything was always "taken care of.) Also, we have 2 children, both of whom have ample $ set aside for college, etc. (over $250k each) Wife's fund is now about $2M.
We are now seperated, and will file for divorce soon. Spouse has a lawyer, I'm getting one this week. Question is: Am I pretty much going to be left on the streets?
No savings, no house, no future? Very scared!!!
