| 2 | Men over 40 should NEVER get marriedEqually true for men under 40 | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/24 02:02 AM |
| 1 | Unbalanced Burden of Divorce: A Housewife's PrivilegeNon working "home makers" will justify their "worth" from the salaries of paid help (private chef, house cleaner, laundry service, decorator, etc.) However upon divorce, these services are no longer being provided, yet the bread winning spouse must continue to pay. It's as if getting a divorce provides a retirement plan to the "home maker". It might make sense that this "worth" justifies the 50/50 asset split, but not post divorce service payments with no service. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/05/24 09:54 PM |

| 2 | Why don't fathers tell sons not to get married?It isn't about questioning the future partner, it's about questioning the choice of marriage itself. I went through a rough divorce, and have to pay lifetime alimony, because my ex didn't work. That is the story I am telling to young men. | /r/Divorce_Men | 13/09/23 04:12 PM |
| 1 | Do most good family law attorneys charge for the first consultation? A lawyer told me so, but I am not sure if it is true.Had 5 free consults in Michigan. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/09/23 12:19 PM |
| 1 | Divorce questions.The house is just one piece of the financial puzzle that can be negotiated. Find something that she will want (a car), and say "I'll let you take the car, I'll keep the house". The judge only gets involved if you two can't agree. And keep in mind that lawyers make more money the longer you two disagree. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/09/23 02:11 PM |
| 2 | How to pay for the divorce lawyer consult when wife handles the money.I met with five attorneys for at least an hour each, all no charge. (Michigan) This is a small investment on their part to get a client that may end up paying them tens of thousands of dollars. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/08/23 06:43 PM |
| 3 | Mens Divorce Forum that doesnt totally suck!My two cents. Wife filed after 29 yr marriage, she don't work, got half the assets and 30% of my net for life. I'm 58 in Michigan. Nothing to be done for those of us that worked hard to provide a great life and got the shaft. Wish I was taught divorce law in high school. My thought is that someone needs to start a GoFundMe account to pay to post the best comments from this sub on billboards, radio ads, and any other media that might save some young man from becoming us. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/09/22 01:34 AM |

| 1 | Motion hearing advice neededFollowing up... Ordered to pay my ex, but no attorney fees (well, I had to pay my lawyer). Order gave no explanation of any reasoning used to come to this conclusion. | /r/Divorce_Men | 30/06/22 01:26 PM |
| 1 | Motion hearing advice neededI'm having a similar dialog with my lawyer. Ive heard stories of murderers getting off because they didn't get their Miranda rights. I was hoping to find someone on this thread who could provide some legal argument to convince the judge that I shouldn't be penalized for someone else's error, and better yet, that a signed form means what the form says. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/06/22 12:35 AM |

| 2 | Motion hearing advice neededI had a judgment of divorce that has me paying spousal support as well as a part of my yearly bonus as a percentage. In Michigan, there is a uniform spousal support order form that has a section 11 which contains the yearly bonus language from the judgment of divorce. At the top of that same form there's a checkbox that says "it is ordered, unless otherwise ordered in item 11: standard provisions have been modified (see item 11), and that checkbox is not checked! On this same uniform spousal sup… | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/06/22 01:05 AM |
| 6 | What’s the most ridiculous thing your ex spent on with the child support money you paid?On #24 of unlimited... When you're divorced after 28 years in Michigan from a woman who didn't go back to work after kids, you get to pay for life, because not working is the lifestyle to which she's grown accustomed. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/22 12:17 AM |

| 3 | More of a rant than anything else.Just know, after my 28 year marriage, last 10 bad, 4 year divorce, I never would have thought I would say, life is good now. There is hope!!! Might take a while, but life is not a one act play. Push through! | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/10/21 01:45 AM |

Kids grow, go to school, ex won't go back to work, goes to college for 8 years to get art history degree. Graduates in late 2013, get breast cancer. After getting my her through 2 years of cancer treatment, while taking care of the two children , and keeping my self employed business running, I got divorce served in the summer of 2016..

| 10 | How much is this 💩supposed to cost!?Yes, most of the money that was spent on lawyers was me trying to argue why I thought someone not wanting to work would justify them not having to work (ever again). Took multiple lawyers (some unpaid) to convince me that this is how it works. But I couldn't have just rolled over, at least I know I tried. I'm convince that the system is designed to split assets/income in such a way that reduces the likelihood of either party requiring societies assistance, and has little to do with "fair" | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/08/21 01:29 AM |
| 7 | How much is this 💩supposed to cost!?But unfortunately (financially) you have children, which will likely complicate things, and send more $$$s to the lawyers, who thrive on complication. Mine kids were adults and didn't factor in my situation... | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/08/21 12:54 AM |
| 10 | How much is this 💩supposed to cost!?I'm OK, I'm low maintenance, so have enough. Just sucks how the system works. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/08/21 12:40 AM |
| 31 | How much is this 💩supposed to cost!?$50k to lawyers/mediators/arbitrators (what a waste). In the end she got half of what I had amassed in our 29 year marriage (she didn't work), and I must pay alimony (roughly 40% of net) for the rest of her life (because she never worked). | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/08/21 11:37 PM |

| 3 | Permanent supportI wasted a ton of cash on lawyer & mediation thinking that my contribution to the retirement funds(95%) would get me more than 50% at split. No such luck. Her "contribution" to the marriage justifying 50% was washing dishes. Funny that I can't get her to wash my dishes for the rest of my life, but a third of my time working goes to her. In the end, the state wants to get to an even split, and to make sure that the slacker partner has means, cause the state doesn't want to have to take care of th… | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/07/21 02:22 AM |

| 4 | Permanent supportJust got done with very similar situation. 28 years, wife hardly worked, two adult kids. Split assets (house, cars, 401k) 50/50. She get 1/3 of my take home for life. Not sure how/if retirement will work for me. For all intents, she's retired now. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/21 03:55 PM |
| 2 | Curious how many times married/divorced and if remarried why?Wish this was required reading for me 28 years ago. Would have saved half of my wealth lost in divorce, and half my income going to Ex for the rest of her life. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/04/21 03:32 PM |
