Posted about 1 year ago I did, I survived. We even did a motion to bifurcate and allowed her to remarry before property settlement. Stressed Out! Oh Yeah! Much better Now!
IF YOU STAY IN DIVORCE COURT LONG ENOUGH>>>>>ONLY THE ATTORNEYS WIN! |

| Posted about 1 year ago Do you have kids.? If you do then it will never stop. Sorry to say. Divorce 2004 to 2005 but we had a court hearing 3 times a week for a year. It was so bad they would ask me for my ID when I went into court. They thought I worked there. There are 4 very large folders that are at the clerks office just on my case. |

| Posted about 1 year ago Not mine, mine was short and sweet.. 90 days and It was done. But we have 2 children and lets just say her mothering skills are questionable. |

| Posted about 1 year ago My attorney would carry a luggage cart. The depositions were over 6 hours. I have one daughter. I wish as a young couple when we divorced we would have put money into an account for her, and done the split with belongings going to those who owned them. I owned a petstore I ended up closing it. I had to sell my house. I got stuck with all of the cc bills. I ended up doing a CH 7. etc. IF YOU STAY IN DIVORCE COURT LONG ENOUGH..........ONLY THE ATTORNEYS WIN! Keep your sanity, leave your ego on the courtsteps before going in!

| Posted about 1 year ago mine was not long either, probably cause we both wanted it that we did it ourselves so we split all the household items, and he kept his retirement and i kept mine, no child support, no spousal support, kids are 16 n 17 so that helped we just split the costs of the kids n have shared parenting. Worked out quiet well no arguing, no name calling, no yelling, thank god and that was after 17 yrs of marriage, so i think we did preety well,lol I'll be your Huckleberry |

It always seems to happen when you are on the phone with your lawyer or in the court room. Things just come out of your mouth and you have no control over it. ha ha |

| Posted about 1 year ago Divorce stinks first one was easy did it all ourselves, No kids 2 one, my ex had ? lovers from the start, after the surprise of my miracle baby, now 10 years old, we disagreed on everything, when his "Girlfriend 'husband died, and she rejected his idea to move inwith her" he tried to commit suicide, and threaten me with it, as a Nurse I may have been more worried, as e scorned wife, I called 911, told him where he works, and where is girlfirend lived, and they found him in time. IEA'd him for 3 weeks, now I keep a very close eye on him , as I will see signs earlier of disintegration. he is very dedicated to the daughter, and I believe people should help the child succeed, what it takes.....( court made us to tp parenting class ) ===> patience
relationship ===> out of respect for the child civil at best IDEALIST
==>God's Mills Grind slowly, But they Grind exceedingly fine.<== |

| Posted about 1 year ago Ah divorce court, also referred to as "family court". You thought your family was disfunctional before, now you have lawyer involved. Divorce lawyers know how to put the "fun" in disfunctional. Divorced my X after 28 yrs. Both daughters were grown ( 22yr and 18 yrs) The daughter encourged me to "divorce the bitch" after they found out she was having an affair with a computer geek that she taught school with. He is about the same age of her oldest daughter. Hell has no fury like that of wealthy in-laws when they are "Hard Core Southern Baptist" , that has always referred to their daughter as the "perfect daughter". You would have thought I filed a divorce against Jesus Christ himself. Holly Molly ! ! Can't decide which one I enjoy being away from the most, the X-wife or X- in-laws? Ah heck, it's all good. And whatever it cost me financially, I would have been willing to pay ten times that. |

| Posted about 1 year ago I filed for divorce in march. still pending... I loved him until he showed what he was and was arrested. My honesty and integrity was the only things that saved my sanity and career. Kids cant stand the "bastard". I am still putting the pieces together for them. With him not being able to see our daughter because she is still a minor and him being convicted, that is the one thing i am thankful for. I got a new attorney and she rocks! hope it wont be much longer. "The only things we regret in this life, are the risks we didnt take" Funny movie.... anyone have a guess as to which one? |

| Posted about 1 year ago Going through one right now with two small kids (1.5 and 3 yrs). Wife left me. Aapparently decided she didn't like the conservation cop lifestyle among other issues. Short would be nice, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be dragged on and on.... |

| Posted 11 months ago I've got you all beat with the mother of divorces--I filed in March of 2000---went thru several mediations, masters hearings, common pleas...6 yrs later and $756,000 and some change I finally got divorced. I didn't even get a damn car out of the deal. Had 2 businesses (6 fig/yr, each), 2 homes 415,000 and 102,000(investment) and he got it all because he threatened to kill my kids. Got a PFA and $5,000 later he had 15 uncharged violations.

| Posted 9 months ago I have three kids, married for 11 years. Now he wants out. I go to court Friday Feb. 28 . He has a grate business now, thanks to who? Yes, Me. I spend 10 years building it. I'm not there yet, hope to be someday. I want this thing over now. |

| Posted 8 months ago If your ego takes over the attorneys win. Try to keep it cool under pressure, you should be used to that. Put your foot on the brake unlike me the lead foot, and analyze what you really want when it is all said and done. I lost alot more than just my financial picture and being stuck with all the divorce bills, and credit cards etc. I have a vindictive wife who has kept me away from my daughter. |
|
| Posted 8 months ago Today I heard that there was this guy who's wife tried getting his house in a settlement, so he filled out all of the paperwork, got the appropriate permits, and demolished his house. She was furious, he broke no laws. Make of it what you will. |

| Posted 8 months ago I think if there are kids involved act like adults and count your losses... split down the middle fairly... what you cant agree on sell it and split that... dont sling mud at each other it only hurts your kids... when you go in to court think of your kids and not your selves... and if you still cant agree on it sell it anyways and make a trust for your child or children... lick your wounds and for the sake of your little angles do what you can.... and the best advice I can give any parent on here is NEVER EVER EVER talk bad about the other parent in front of your kids.... no matter what... its the mother and only father they have and they already think your divorce is there fault no matter how many times you tell them its not!!! I cant stress that enough on every one.... and please by the heavens above DO NOT USE YOUR KIDS AGAINST THE OTHER SPOUSE... dont use them as your spies dont use them to get back at the other spouse because you think he or she is a pain in your side... your only hurting your kids..... brightest Blessings...

| Posted 8 months ago We were seperated over a year before the divorce was final. He's more civil to me now than during our 18 yr marriage, but then again he actually had the light bulb moment and told me knew now why I had left. Amazing the stuff he remembered that I had already pushed inside and forgotten about. But he nailed it on the head ! Our kids were grown when we split and I often wonder if they would have taken it better if they were younger. I never talk bad about him to the kids, they were there and they knew what happened, my son had even told me to get out years before so no need to bash him. Doesn't benefit anyone. |
|
| Posted 7 months ago I'm going through one right now -- 8 months so far. It feels like it will never end. |
|
| Posted 4 months ago I STAYED SEPERATED FROM MARCH OF 2001 AND DIDN'T GET DIVORSED UNTIL MARCH OF 2008. SHE LEFT AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD PAY FOR IT.I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE THAT I COULD BE IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH AND A LAWYER AND IT DIDN'T COST ME A DIME.. WAS DONE AT NO CHARGE. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Posted 4 months ago Why do divorices cost so much? They are worth it. D 1. was not too bad , just a lot of debt. Close to living out of my van for a year but got everything paid off that year and finely got custody of my son. D 2. was fast and easy, she had been seeing someone else and wanted to go. But now 28 years later, son lives 600 miles away, ex-wife lives 50 miles away, and during the summer for a month or so, meetings in a parking lot or standing around in their drive exchanging grandkids. Sometimes things just never seems to end.

| Posted 4 months ago My divorced only took 5 months. But we where seperated for 2 months prior to when I filed for the divorced. I have sole and physical custody of my two kids and I am still having to go to court with him. He doesn't think he should have to pay child support and he has a warrent out for him for FTA in court for the child support. So I guess when kids are involved you never really stop going to court. |
|
| Posted 4 months ago HOLY COW,
This is why I went and filed the paper work my self. Only cost me court cost and the money to server her the paper work. She signed them mailed them to court and it was done in a month.
Thank god....
