| 2 | Did COVID ruined your marriage somehow?Agree 100% | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 08:49 PM |
| 3 | Did COVID ruined your marriage somehow?My point was that I am not debating the effectiveness of masks and the vaccines. My point was that "me doing me" was my choice and she couldn't live with that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 07:22 PM |
| 2 | Did COVID ruined your marriage somehow?You are kind of missing my point in your rush to judge my actions. It was what I wanted to do and not what she wanted me to do. Whether the masks worked or not, if I went to the nursing home and they asked me to wear a mask, I was going to do it. She basically told our kids to ignore these people. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 07:00 PM |
| 2 | Did COVID ruined your marriage somehow?We separated shortly (in the same house) before COVID but it certainly made things worse. My parents were in a nursing home, so I took all the precautions I could to keep from getting sick. She (who believed COVID was a conspiracy) mocked me in front of the kids for wearing a mask and later getting vaccinated. I found out later she got covid during that time and didn't even tell me. My parents have both since passed away (not from covid). We are just waiting on the house to sell to finalize our … | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/09/23 04:00 PM |
| 2 | Are divorces in Texas less brutal than the rest of America?I just got divorced in Tarrant County after 21 years (actually just waiting on the house to sell before it becomes official). We have two kids (16, 15). She worked off and on over the course the marriage. We split everything 50/50 and kept our own personal debt. I will pay child support, but no "spousal support". My case never went to trial and was all decided in mediation. I had a pretty good lawyer. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/09/23 01:37 PM |
| 1 | Are you the divorcer, or the divorcee?I get credit for both. She'd been threatening for years. I finally called her out on it, told her to get a steady job because I would soon file. Within 6 weeks, she got something lined up and she ended up filing on her first day of work. So even though she's the one that ultimately pulled the trigger (after years of her saying the kids will never forgive me), she does it, but I still get the blame and the kids blame me. Lost the battle, but will win the war. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/09/23 07:22 PM |
| 2 | Texas Divorce - need help for my friendHe will NOT lose everything. My divorce in Texas is just waiting for the judge to sign. Married 21 years, she worked about 5 years then quit to have two kids. She homeschooled and worked random jobs. When I told her I was planning to divorce her, she got a steady job and then filed herself (6 months ago). We did mediation. All I have to pay is child support and we are splitting our assets 50/50. We keep our personal debt, but that's it. She did break a few rules on the temporary orders (she used… | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/08/23 04:04 PM |
| 2 | US States where it's hard for a woman to get alimony?Pretty sure t it has to be 10 years, plus unable to work. I told her I would be filing *soon* whether she had a job or not but gave her a chance to get something lined up. I knew the control freak inside of her would file and that's exactly what she did. Not sure if she thought she would get alimony but every lawyer I talk to said it was rare. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/08/23 04:43 PM |
| 4 | US States where it's hard for a woman to get alimony?I hear you and this is kind going off topic, but for me, if being a Republican means believing the vshot is poison and the 2020 election was stolen, count me out. On the other hand, if being a Republican means things like having sensible and rational legislation that truly rewards hard work and innovation (and getting rid of alimony), count me in. Our politics in this country are so screwed up. And I won't even touch the culture war trash. As this pertains to my Divorce, I'll try and post someth… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/08/23 01:22 PM |
| 2 | US States where it's hard for a woman to get alimony?Luckily, we never went to court. This was all in mediation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/08/23 03:46 AM |
| 1 | US States where it's hard for a woman to get alimony?That's the funny part. We are both conservative but while I am fairly centrist (and drifting further left every day), she has gone hard-core right. In reality, she was way more feminist than trad-wife. (All I wanted needed her to be was somewhere in the middle). | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/08/23 12:51 AM |
| 3 | US States where it's hard for a woman to get alimony?She violated the Temporary Orders. Pretty obvious (and unfortunately successful) Parental Alienation on my 15f and 16m. Also she used almost all of her income to pay off her debts while I continued to cover all of the families living expenses. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/08/23 12:39 AM |
| 16 | US States where it's hard for a woman to get alimony?Had mediation yesterday in Tarrant County, Texas. Married 21 years and my income doubles hers. NO ALIMONY. Texas , Our Texas ! All hail the mighty State! Texas, Our Texas ! So wonderful so great! Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/08/23 08:40 PM |
| 13 | Courtroom Appearance AdviceJust generally, it's ALWAYS better to be overdressed than underdressed. I'd shave and get dress shoes for the suit. Good luck! | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/07/23 09:34 PM |

| 2 | Lesson learned: Saving money on divorce processI didn't get the most expensive lawyer, but I didn't get a cheap one either. For our whole marriage, I've been the nice guy peacemaker that got taken advantage of. I hired someone who would help me be an asshole, within reason. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/06/23 02:11 PM |

| 12 | Anyone else’s wife lose her mind after kids?Me too, and she homeschools which made her an even more kind of special crazy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/05/23 01:43 AM |
| 1 | Would this phrase be a good thing to write on my divorce cake? " I wanted stability, she wanted freedom, After divorce I got both she got none.I could never love you as much as you loved yourself... | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/05/23 03:10 PM |
| 3 | How did you celebrate?I've thought about this and I think the only real way for me to "celebrate" will be to eventually introduce my homeschooled kids to the good things in this world that they have been locked away from for so long. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/05/23 01:15 PM |
| 1 | I'm not going to date for a year. Wish me luck.My daughter told me this morning that she would basically cut me out of her life if my STBXW wasn't able to keep the house. So tired of this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/05/23 01:26 PM |
| 2 | I'm not going to date for a year. Wish me luck.Thanks! I think my case might be a little different because my kids are older and it's not physical. I had a great relationship until covid hit and long story short, my stbxw went way far-right and took them with her. An example is one time she called me an idiot in front of them. They didn't seem to have an issue with that, so I called her an idiot right back (knowing it would show the double standard) and they went nuts. Anyway, I'll know if it was worth it, hopefully soon. Good luck with th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/23 08:41 PM |
| 1 | I'm not going to date for a year. Wish me luck.Yes. Is it basically just state the facts? My lawyer just said to take notes and I am, just wanted to make sure they were effective, if that makes sense? | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/23 08:16 PM |
| 4 | I'm not going to date for a year. Wish me luck.Congrats on getting custody of the kids! I am in the process of getting divorced and my kids (16M, 14F) are alienated from me through her vile manipulation. I've been logging for years, but I've turned it up over the last two. She has no idea. I know this is off topic, but any advice on the logging? I pretty much just write the facts into the notes app on my phone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/04/23 07:39 PM |
| 11 | Info: STBX thinks she’s getting $$$Man, that is fantastic. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/23 01:21 PM |
| 5 | Info: STBX thinks she’s getting $$$I'm going through something similar (in Texas), except she knows she's screwed and has successfully alienated the kids (16M, 14F) against me. She'd been threatening divorce for years but was always waiting to "get her ducks in a row" before filing. After my Mom passed and she gave the kids the okay to skip the funeral, I told her I was done waiting and she needed to find employment NOW because I would be filing soon. A few weeks later, she found a job, got a cheap lawyer and filed. I was ready w… | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/23 01:16 PM |
| 2 | Victory!!!Ah, okay. Sorry to hear that and thank you for your service. We have mediation coming up early Summer. In the meantime we are separated, but still in the same home with the kids, who are homeschooled/online schooled (not my idea). STBXW finally got a job back in February and then she filed after I told her I was planning too (long story). The PA sucks and has been bad for about a year. I basically live upstairs and they all live downstairs. The kids used to come up all the time but abruptly quit… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/23 02:12 PM |
| 1 | Victory!!!Was it to be permanent because your oldest was over 18? I'm in DFW too. Seems like Texas is one of the better states to get divorced in. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/23 01:31 PM |
| 2 | Victory!!!True, edited. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/23 01:26 PM |
| 3 | Victory!!!There is a blazing hot corner of hell for parents who turn sons and daughters against the other parent. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/23 01:22 PM |
| 1 | Victory!!!Congrats! Do you mind telling me the ages of your kids? I'm going through something similar with a 16yo son and a 14yo daughter. Also in Texas. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/04/23 01:08 PM |
| 3 | What music did you listen to during your divorce?We are cohabitating until the divorce is hopefully finalized this summer. We try to avoid each other as much as possible. When I'm in the DMZ, I blast MF Doom instrumentals and samples. Stuff like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usn3CN27L_U | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/03/23 01:14 AM |
| 2 | What music did you listen to during your divorce?The Attack On Titan OST is pretty good too | /r/Divorce_Men | 31/03/23 01:06 AM |
| 7 | An interesting idea.She spent $500 dollars on EMF protection (from the wifi) because of an infomercial she saw on TBN. After I called her out on it, she had me watch the informercial, thinking it would convince me. Wrong! It was nothing but pseudo-science and quackery with no scientific merit in the least. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 06:51 PM |
| 3 | Has anyone been suprised by their spouse's reaction?Me, kind of. She's been threatening for years the same kind of things - ruining me financially, never seeing the kids, etc. When it finally came to a head, I think she realized she really couldn't do any of those things and trying to would be just a waste of money that we don't really have, so now luckily she's trying to make it as cheap as possible (note - we live in Texas where spousal maintenance is rare). | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/03/23 03:15 PM |
| 6 | Venting methodsI set up a cheapo DIY home gym in my shed. Almost everything I have is used - heavy bag, kettle bell, dumb bells, pull up/dip station. Just wear yourself out physically. Long walks help too. I also listen to a lot of heavy music, specifically doom and hardcore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/03/23 07:24 PM |
| 9 | Nothings getting betterMusic always helps me, maybe it can help you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUiInhwNq6o I've been separated (foolishly) nearly 4 years and in that time I've watched both my parents slowly die from dementia while my kids alienated me to please their Mom. We finally got the divorce process started a few weeks ago. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/02/23 04:25 PM |
| 1 | Give it to me straight fellasNot getting divorced won't prevent the wife from brainwashing and alienating the kids. It might even make it worse if she is abusive and you just "take it". | /r/Divorce_Men | 14/08/22 02:22 PM |
| 1 | What should I do ?Yeah, I know and I am getting ready for a fight. Hoping for the inner narcissist that "don't need no man" will come out, but that's probably a pipe dream. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/22 02:17 AM |
| 2 | What should I do ?Pretty much, although she has had a string of part time jobs but none have really lasted that long due to various reasons. I was kind of hoping she'd have something more solid set up before filing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/22 02:09 AM |
| 3 | What should I do ?I'm in the beginning stages and have a similar situation. There's a great book called Divorce Poison, give it a read if you can. Hopefully any issues will shake out during custody evaluation and can be dealt with in counseling/reunification therapy. It's difficult and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Their is a warm place in hell for anyone who does this. I'm doing consults right now to find a lawyer so I can file. We've been separated for three years in the same house. I would have left sooner i… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/06/22 04:21 PM |
| 1 | How hard do you push for 50/50 when it’s not the default?What about when they are older? My kids are both teenagers and have jobs? Every consult I've had so far have said go for quality, not quantity. Are they wrong? | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/05/22 07:05 PM |
