  • that depends on wether or not he finishes it before or after the offical divorce.


  • Depends on alot of things - you might not be entitled to anything of his.

    However, if it turns out that you are entitled to half of his stuff, you're only entitled to half of his stuff at the time your divorce is final - if he doesn't get published or any money until after the divorce, it's all his.


  • u greedy selfish piece of sh-t


  • Keep your filthy mitts off his hard-earned cash.


  • If you were writing a book would you think your husband was entitled to half? There in lies your answer.


  • Do you know my ex? She fought to get more than 50/50 in our divorce because my folks are well off and I will probably get a sizable inheritance when they die.


  • Writing a book doesn't earn him anything. Publishing it may, if it sells. But why are you entitled? Bitter? Scorned? Or just vindictive?


  • Don't take his money. Just cause you hate him & all, doesn't mean you should take the money he EARNED. He's obviously putting alot of effort into his book, while you haven't done anything for it. So you don't even deserve it. I wish women like you would realize how selfish you are. Even if my man cheated on me and we got a divorce, I would NOT try and make him broke or steal from him.


  • For my answer, just re-read Ricesoul's Ghost, Phil, and Superrma. -- I'm a woman, and I gotta say, your
    to-be-ex-husband is lucky to be getting rid of you!!


  • Only if the words: gold-digging, money hungry, selfish mole, are in it.


  • its his darn book! what makes you think you are entitled to anything?! if this is his hard work and his time that went into it, the only thing that you should get is a swift kick in the rear end! gosh you are the reason why people should be discouraged from marriage! I can only imagine why he left you...then again it is pretty evident...


  • I wouldn't think so. He is in the process of just writing, it is not being published or anything--yet.

    Also, did you help with it in any way?

    My father in law has wrote a book, I edited it and typed it up for him. Now he says when/if the book takes off, I will be the one that benefits the most from it. He isn't interested in the money, he just found a story he liked and went for it. In fact, the fist book isn't even near ready to be published and he is already working on the second in now what will be a series.


  • The answers you are getting are not legal.. and neither is mine. I am not a lawyer.
    But let's put this in perspective for a lot of these people who all you greedy etc.
    Let's picture a scenario where the woman works two jobs for all of the marriage. She pays all of the bills while her husband sits at home writing his book. He now has the advantage of the bills being paid while he can concentrate on his future ... his great future with a book deal.
    I think if you had a good lawyer and the scenario were anything like the above you'd have a good chance of winning.. but again.. I don't know the law.
    Either way... the chances of actually publishing a book (if one doesn't have a contract already) are not huge.. and further.. the chances of the book being a blockbuster are even slimmer.
    I agree with one of the other answers.... why not forge your own way? If he's not a great writer or doesn't have a great contract coming his way then let him go and move on.


  • Jeez... let it go.. You're already getting divorced why do you need to gain from his book? Wow.


  • there's no hard, fast rule of yes or no.
    it depends on what you agree to in your divorce settlement.
    i guess you're talking about going for spousal support (and then it would be a percentage of his income - whether from a book or any other job he has)
    and spousal support depends on how long you're married, your ability to earn income, etc.
    you might be thinking of his proceeds from selling a book as some kind of community property. i don't believe it is.


  • I think you should not be entitled to any of the profit the book makes. You didn't write it..I'm sure you didn't help write it... No need to be greedy and go for the juggler??


  • This is why I'm scared to re-marry.....I just don't "get it!"


  • dnt think so sweets his book his money dnt get greety


  • maybe , if he gets published before your divroce is final..... but ... do you REALLY feel like your entitled? If its all his work , give the man a break and forge you own future - a divorce means a new start , if your relatively young and self supporting , let it , him , and the book , go . Be your own woman . :)
