| 1 | Has anyone successfully gotten a family court to order therapy for children when the other parent won’t agree?Because that’s divorce…I lost two paid off houses and spent $100,000 on legal fees. Thats life. If I was in your shoes my kids would be in therapy and I’d do DoorDash at nights. You can complain and rant but that’s not helpful. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/08/26 04:10 PM |

| 1 | Divorce is on the horizonYou can’t carry a marriage by yourself. If her effort won’t change then you have no choice. But let her know if she doesn’t meet you halfway that she will end up single. Give her 3 months and then check back in and review how it’s going. Whatever issues you have…work on those 3 months.

| 3 | Was it a wrong choice ?I regret filing in my first divorce. I wonder if I try hard enough and my three daughters from that went through more than they needed to. I went into naïve thinking that my ex wife and I would still be friends and fantastic coparent. It ended up being a three year long divorce that cost $100,000 in legal fees and damn near drove me to end myself. The cost wasn’t worth the payoff. On the other hand I wouldn’t have my son from my second marriage. But he’s filed on me in that marriage after going … | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/07/26 02:20 AM |

| 0 | Should I go back?Divorce wise: You don’t leave your kids. That will impact your custody argument. There is an argument to be made about abandonment. You don’t leave the house unless a judge orders it. Man wise: You don’t leave your kids… 50/50 custody is the hill you die on. You don’t get to abandon your family because it’s too much. You exhaust all options TWICE! Then if there are still issues you divorce and you don’t leave your kids and you don’t leave the house. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/07/26 07:42 PM |

There are a lot of caveats to that. “The heart wants what the heart wants” is usually the dynamic. There is nothing wrong with marriage just get a prenup…a “his, hers, and ours”; that mandates 50/50 custody of children and differential offset child support.

I will say as far as abuse…don’t buy the gaslighting.During divorce the word “abuse” is abused. Abuse has police reports, abuse has family knowing about it, abuse has your partner bringing it up…before divorce.

Do not try and force timelines, This is not a game you win. You have no control. The rules of this game are when two timelines cross. The person filing divorce usually has months ahead of the other person as far as processing it. The respondent has to grieve and catch up. That puts people on two different time lines.

| 1 | Living separatelyWell, divorce turns right and wrong upside down. I’m on my second divorce. You can be noble and learn that it’s like being noble to a hungry polar bear. It is very common for accusations to start flying. One false accusation and he is going to find out how painful this all becomes.

She also gets half of whatever stuff you guys accumulated through the marriage. Also plan on possibly paying her legal fees for this divorce. If it is contentious which it likely will be…go ahead and plan for $50,000 between the two of you. Maybe you can get it done for $20,000 if the universe is kind to you.

Also, common to a lesser degree is the blame and abuse. Once divorce has been asked for there’s no going back. It’s not gonna happen. The problem with men is that we wrap our identities into relationships. We see ourselves first as husbands, fathers. They see themselves first as women fighting the struggle whatever that struggle is that they convince themselves of. You can try h… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/05/26 01:10 PM |

I don’t have any tolerance either. I am getting more resigned to just being single but curious.

| 13 | The only winners are the lawyersNo one wins in divorce. Only lawyers win. Is very true unless actual physical abuse is happening or abuse of children. As a man you have to pay women to go away. You have to pay to not see your children even though you want to see them. You get accused of things that you did not do.
