Answer: It is impossible for me to accurately assess the total value of your marital property from the few items you mention in your letter. To properly ascertain the true net worth of your husband and to determine the full extent of the marital assets, we would need to get a sworn net worth statement from your husband and investigate whether he has truely disclosed all of his assets and income. Until you do that you cannot know whether the offer is good or bad. With regard to the pre-nuptial agreement, again I must review it in detail to see how egregious it really is and its recognition or not would depend on the judge. From what you say, it sounds like you would have a good chance of challenging the agreement. If you do not have your own funds to pay your attorney the court will make your husband pay . If you feel you are really being unjustly treated you should refuse his offer. Have the courage to protect your interests;your future financial well being and that of your son depends on it! There is an alternative to protracted and lengthy litigation in court. I strongly suggest you consider mediating your divorce. It will be less costly and emotionally draining on all parties, including your son and is conducted in the quiet of my office instead in the courtroom or its corridors. If you are located in the NYC metro area, please call me at 212-370-1660 to discuss the matter further. GOOD LUCK!
