He gave her what she wanted and the court gave her more because they saw her as some kind of victim. As her staying home had negatively impacted her employability. It was her choice. He would have rather she worked and they had a better lifestyle.

Now, she'll tell you she got screwed as she thinks she should have gotten more but he's the one who got screwed. He had to support her during the marriage, to keep her happy, and because he did that now gets the privilidge of supporting her now that they're divorced.

I wouldn't do it. They'd have to find me first.

Do you live in the Ozarks?

The economy has been hot here and I know lots. Money with a huge house and they keep everything in it.

Just need a cabana boy to make their life complete. I guess, you can't necessarily have everything!

47% recently voted for a divorced guy who remarried a brewery heiress. Would he have ended up living in a cheap apartment without this?

Statistics also show that 99% of your alleged facts are fabricated.

Thread starter, I can't give you advise from personal exp. But I'll just suggest to speak w/ people you love and trust (friends and family) to take your mind off things. And do some stress-relieving activity - something you enjoy - whether it's exercising, watching a comedy movie, or reading a funny book. Good luck.

The women ALWAYS get the children. Unless he can prove she is an unfit parent and even so it will take $30,000 to get them.

They always get the money from child support.

They always get the home unless she don't want it.

If she didn't work the man has to help her get some cash.

Usually the man is walking without anything even if she filed.

Am I wrong??

By the way... I am not divorced.

This is not true. I am a woman and when I got divorced he got it all. I worked full time and put myself through school and got a very well paying job while he worked part time, gambled and golfed. He was very manipulative. Verbally threatening. I divorced him and he made all these threats. The STUFF wasn't worth it so I let him have it all pretty much. My lawyer thought I was nuts but I just wanted to be free. It's not that bad. I am rebuilding with a new husband who lost all to his ex wife.

As far as your divorce know that things will get better. Try to hold on to an aspect that has always just been personally yours. Some type of hobby- running, golfing, bowling, woodwork, whatever. Remember how you enjoyed yourself before you were married. Even if you lose material things you still have yourself and there are many in your situation. Learn from your past and plan for your future. The stress does get better but I admit it is the worst thing to go through and I will not do it again. Good luck with everything.
Nurse or caregiver?
