I'm glad you've got that spirit Gayle.

In my state it is a 50/50 divorce rule too. But my husband seems to think it means equal, when in actuality it means equitable or fair.
There's quite a big difference in the two.

Your husband is playing poker now. He's starting off high, so he has somewhere to drop back to. Why not ask for it all, to see if by chance you get it?
There is domestic abuse in your case, which changes matters also.
Hand it all over to your lawyer, the worry and anxiety.
