Trying to get information for my cousin as she is going through divorce. She and her husband belong to India and work in Seattle. She doesn’t have kids from 9 years old marriage. She works for some service based company and he works for Microsoft. How the finances are going to split? Any idea? My cousin is already frustrated with increasing attorney charges with no results. How can we find an amicable way of splitting assets? Any legal or personal experience?
Just split whatever was accumulated during marriage 50/50 and move on with life, IMO. Usually that's how it goes with community property states, which Washington is. If husband makes more, it's very much in his interest to agree to even split and move on, because the lower earning spouse can also ask for alimony.
