For about 20 years I was very much engaged with businesses in our marriage. I had no help with the kids, housework, cooking, cleaning, child care, etc. etc. I'd sometimes take the kids with me to my office so that I could get work done. Husband was out of town a lot and he left practically everything up to me. He was very uninvolved with the kids.
I'm not whining about the workload I carried in the marriage. I willingly accepted it as my responsibility. I will freely say though, that if I had not worked so diligently in the businesses we had my husband would not have had the large amounts of assets he now has in his possession.
My question is: Has anyone heard of a retired woman receiving spousal support? I'm researching case law and forwarded one case to my lawyer who is very interested.
