| 2 | Divorce Decree LessonsIt's like mediation for post divorce issues. When its just you and the court, you basically have to file a motion to get anything enforced. Having the parental coordinator provides an arbitrator for issues that can result in immediate feedback, even as simple as 'mrs. X, if you neglect to 'thing' one more time, I will give mr. Y my complete support if he files a motion for sanctions', meaning if you show up with a motion to a judge with the court assigned parental coordinator already on your sid… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/09/25 09:56 PM |
| 2 | Settlement Offersto our judge's credit (a woman), by time she had 'seen enough', she was literally yelling at my ex's attorney in court for trying to continue my ex's false narrative. 'Patrick... JUST STOP!' as patrick (her attorney) kept trying to make stupid claims, and when he tried again judge had a meltdown and yelled so loud my parents heard her outside the court room and down the hall. She was absolutely pissed this nonsense made it on to her docket. At the final hearing before the trial, everyone went ba… | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/08/25 02:09 PM |
| 2 | Settlement OffersYou're clearly correct about the rule. I have PTSD from trying to follow the rules all the while my ex couldn't follow a court order to save her life and nothing ever came of it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/08/25 06:26 PM |
| 1 | Settlement OffersYea, this is one of those situations where 'FU Money' is technically 'correct', but it's a posture that gets you ran over and your ex runs away with your shit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/08/25 03:14 PM |

| 6 | Divorce Decree LessonsFirm schedule. Parental coordinator on retainer. (basically a post divorce custody mediator) *knowing I can just call 'susan' and inform her of my ex's misgivings (to ex's credit, she's been great lately) the same day it happens, versus having to call my lawyer, file a motion, get a hearing, etc. is priceless. Having Susan lay down the law within 24 hours of an incident has been absolutely priceless. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/08/25 03:05 PM |
| 2 | Settlement OffersOk. It was very much a strategy in my case and to avoid trial, with GAL and my attorney both arguing in open court 'dad has tried to settle this multiple times' and last attempt was incredibly generous. Maybe it's just indicative of how family courts are a free for all. But even if the offer itself isn't 'admissable' the knowledge can still get to a judge and be used as a larger strategy. It was also used in my ex's psych eval as evidence she was being intentionally high conflict. People, if you… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/08/25 02:42 PM |
| -3 | Settlement OffersSettlement offers can be used strategically to establish you were the party trying to settle and keep this case out of court. So when you end up at trial you can posture your opponent as the reason the court is necessary. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/08/25 04:59 AM |
| 5 | custody questionBring the issue up at the next hearing. Maybe even file a motion expressing your concerns and say you need the authority or the court to stress to mom how things work. You could ask for an order allowing you to inspect moms vehicle to check her work. Other than that, play nice and ask politely to help Mom make sure the kids are all buckled up. Get her reaction documented and use it at the next hearing. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/06/25 03:54 AM |
| 7 | Just curious… for those who initiated the Divorce due to reasonings other than infidelity, why did you initiate? How is life, and your mental state now (post Divorce)?Delete hinge. Don't do that. I could write a lot but instead I'll say a messy divorce is awful. Instead of pulling back due to dissatisfaction, remember what it is you loved about your wife and sit with that. Then give her like 3 months of unconditional love and affection. Do all the things. Imagine you were still dating and trying to convince her you are a good potential husband. Just try it. Let all the resentment go and just love the fuck out of her. See what happens. If it's still sour, go. … | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/04/25 03:41 AM |

| 3 | Lying stbxwWar path needs to be subtle. Keep quiet on any scorched earth plans, and save those for the final inning if the game is close and needs a hail mary. Otherwise, if she's desperate enough, she'll most certainly try and frame your war path as signs of habitual abuse and that she was right all along. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/04/24 11:58 PM |
| 3 | She's not stupid. She's not powerless. She's evil.True, but consider that if two rational adults aren't engaging in a hostile divorce, they likely filled out some forms online and settled the divorce in like 6 hours. Those people don't need support forums. Almost everyone here is getting fucked and dragged through the mud one way or another. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/02/24 03:59 AM |

I actually told the evaluator that I learned about BPD from r/bpdlovedones and my ex has behaved exactly like everyone describes on that subreddit. That when trying to make sense of my ex, nothing makes sense, but when I read that sub, it's remarkable how relatable it is.

She's absolutely out of touch with reality. I just spent $11,000 on a psychiatric evaluation (results not yet in) and the cost of the eval is due to how crazy she's been since we separated. She's like a wacked out meth head but hides behind the Adderall being prescribed. I believe she will end up in jail. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/01/24 05:29 PM |

I won't go near chiropractors anymore. Anything they can do, my PT can do, but with a wider skillset to consider a broader set of possibilities. Big ups on therapy. Therapists aren't our friends.

| 1 | Advice on what to do ahead of custody trial this summer (Pennsylvania)No problem! Best of luck. If you have the budget, consider requesting psychiatric evaluations. One for you, to get a clear bill of health, and two, for her, so you can show all of your evidence of wrongdoing to the evaluator in hopes your ex will catch a diagnosis. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/23 02:30 AM |
| 2 | Recording of DV incident by stbxwI would get a motion for psychiatric evaluations and use your evidence there. What you might see as evidence of your ex breaking the law against you, might be better purposed as evidence of your ex having a psychiatric disorder. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/23 02:26 AM |
| 2 | Recording of DV incident by stbxwOne thing you CAN use this evidence for is psychiatric evaluations. You'll very unlikely get any reasonable time to show evidence in court. Even if you show it in court, it's to legal minded people who aren't going to make a diagnosis. Consider learning about psychiatric evaluations and how you can present a case to your evaluator that your ex is violent, deceptive, and willing to defraud the courts to mess with your life. Then even if you don't get a good shake in court, you might still walk aw… | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/23 02:25 AM |
| 2 | Recording of DV incident by stbxwI caught false DV accusations as well. I place a lot of my anger on the plethora of shitty, violent men who have created the precedent that if there's DV accusations being made by a woman against a man, statistically, she's telling the truth, and law enforcement has to lean into that. What's evil is the women who use that statistic to their advantage. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/23 02:21 AM |

And then after that texted me that if I didn't take my cat, she'd take her up to the vet and have her put to sleep. While the threats aren't really anything more than harassment (sorta illegal?), if she had acted on either threat in my state, she'd have gone to prison. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/12/23 02:17 AM |
| 1 | Advice on what to do ahead of custody trial this summer (Pennsylvania)I'm not a lawyer, but I would talk to a lawyer and have them draft up a settlement offer that is as close to what the court prefers of two reasonable, healthy, willing to coparent respectfully adults. Be willing to cut some losses to move on with your life. At minimum create a trail of attempts to settle the divorce out of court with very reasonable terms.

| 2 | Temporary Custody Order debacleThis is parental kidnapping. If you're the custodial parent and you don't have custody, and someone else has the child without your permission, the child has been kidnapped.

How do I know that I’m ready to start dating again?If you get on apps, consider a brutally honest approach of stating you're going through a divorce and you're wanting to date casually.

Being a single parent with sole custody is incredibly difficult, so unless you're rich AF with a majorly impressive support system, having full and sole custody might be 'bad' for the kids in the court's eyes because they'll think there's a higher chance you'll fail the children due to the burden.

| 1 | Still cleaning up her messCompletely anecdotal and there's a million other things that can happen from 16 to 49yo that could create the problems you see, especially those that she was genetically predisposed too. For every person you can find to claim cannabis ruined their life, there's 10000 people that include it in their daily routines without any complications whatsoever. THC is non toxic to the brain and if doesn't impact brain chemistry any more significantly than carbs. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/06/23 04:21 AM |
| 3 | Still cleaning up her messantidepressants completely complicate the situation more. I got sick as fuck from taking just one lexapro. That shit was 100x's more gnarly than anything weed could be. Again, clinical depression and other factors are the issue. Being mad at weed is just keeping you from acknowledging it was a problem with the person. It could have just as easily been a fortnite habit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/06/23 04:03 AM |
| 0 | Still cleaning up her messIt is not a safe recreational drug. Yea, it's almost as dangerous as soda. You're speaking reefer madness. Daily consumption of soda with all the sugar, caffiene, etc. is going to do more damage to your health than using cannabis, especially if you avoid smoking it as an intake method. The GAL and judge in my divorce case literally told my ex to drop her accusations about weed because they didn't care and had no reason to assume even daily use would impact my ability to properly care for kids.

| 1 | Still cleaning up her messSure, especially if it keeps them from dealing with their issues, but lots of things don't get well with clinical depression. Mine's had major depressive disorder for years (which I think is like worst kind of clinic depression) and got hooked on Adderall. It was a one way ticket to psychosis. Adderall works for people, so I'm not really mad at Adderall, but my ex sure didn't respect it either and doesn't want to admit it's typically not good for people with major depressive disorders. | /r/Divorce_Men | 23/06/23 02:15 AM |

It made me sick as fuck, and since it was my wife's idea she went into straight up denial and accused me of faking being sick. I ended up going to the ER after she had a meltdown and threatened to kill my cat after I threatened to go sleep at my mom's so I could actually rest, and since I basically had a nervous breakdown in the ER after starting on a high dose of Lexapr… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/06/23 06:36 AM |
| 2 | The worst dysfunction is when the husband's protective instinct for his children is triggered by the weaponizing and leveraging of them by their own mother.The family court system is so fucked up I honestly feel compelled to get involved with government at the state level and take actions that could actually bring about change. | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/06/23 06:29 AM |
| 11 | Bad idea to contact my STBXW’s lawyer?Don't talk to opposing counsel. That's your lawyer's job and it's possible some jurisdictions prohibit it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/23 04:25 PM |
| 1 | Help, when the ex is hostileI wear a body camera when dealing with her in person. I keep two GoPros in my car in case I need to set something up. All communication goes through Our Family Wizard. I record any video calls I have with my kids. Case in point: ex tried to claim I followed her home after we exchanged the kids and that she felt unsafe and had to wait for me to 'leave the premises' before she could go into her home. Even had her attorney draw up a threatening letter and send it to the GAL. The hilarious joy I had… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/05/23 04:04 AM |
| 1 | Divorcing a narcissist with a child involvedA false dv accusation from someone that was supposed to be your best friend is an absurdly unforgivable act of betrayal. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/22 07:41 PM |
| 2 | Divorcing a narcissist with a child involvedYep. I know it's not always the case, but in mine the GAL has totally worked in my favor. I've been professional, honest, and reasonable with him and that combined with my STBXW's autistic antics has left him arguing in my favor. And I recognize he's not on my team, but as my kids' attorney he has obviously realized it's in their best interest that the court recognizes I'm a damn good dad and mom's too blinded by petulance to coparent like a normal human being. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/22 07:39 PM |

| 2 | Divorcing a narcissist with a child involvedYep. What they feel guilty about is the palette they paint with. Accusations are admissions of guilt. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/22 07:34 PM |
| 1 | [MO} Other lawyer hasn't filed their discovery papers yet. Any idea what that could mean?My STBXW has clearly been lying to and withholding key facts from her attorney. At her deposition, her attorney looked like a deer in headlights so many different times that it was clear he was hearing stuff for the first time. He wasn't aggressive about defending her either. He let her ramble on so much at one point my attorney snapped at him and said 'you could tell her to stop talking ' after her attorney complained about the phrasing of the question only after my STBXW said entirely too much… | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/11/22 02:46 PM |
| 4 | What are the odds of beating TRO in the first hearing? How about 50/50 custody?You would be in the house one day before she makes something else up or tries to kill you. If she's willing to file a false tro, you are not safe under the same roof. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/07/22 09:38 PM |
| 1 | How serious are those accusations? My STBXW unexpectedly served me a TRO and subpenaPlay the long game. Keep your hands clean, stay calm and civil and be the more rational adult. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/07/22 08:00 PM |

| 2 | Got a TRO today. not sure how am I gonna survive this.I had to get a court order for a civil standby to get my shit. Get a body camera for when you go. Have your attorney file first thing tomorrow morning a motion for a civil standby for property inspection. Film everything. It could be months before you get back into your house. Buckle up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/07/22 04:10 AM |
| 1 | Separation child visitation "offer"Then get an attorney, and get a GAL involved, make your case for abuse and that you want to be an involved father, and take control of the divorce. The single act of just 'fighting' to be an involved parent will speak volumes to the judge and you'll get wayyyyy more than your wife's attorney is offering. In fact, her offer might offend the judge! | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/06/22 11:46 PM |
| 1 | Separation child visitation "offer"Pretend this is a house fire and you need to rescue your kids. Fight that hard. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/06/22 11:44 PM |
| 2 | Maybe I wasn't ever really having a mid life crisis?Did the antidepressants make you sick? My wife insisted I get on some, I tried Lexapro and it was a nightmare. Another psychiatrist who disagreed with me being given it in the first place basically told me if I had needed antidepressants, it would have helped instead of making me sick. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/05/22 05:29 AM |
| 1 | I’m (29M) considering divorcing my wife (28F) due to her failure to contribute anything to our marriage financially. Yes, I can support her and I make a pretty good living. My problem is that I should not need to support her at the level that I am, due to the context of our marriage currently.The sooner you get divorced, the less alimony you'll have to pay. Even if you get divorced, you won't feel free from her until that last alimony payment. It varies from state to state, so you'd want to ask a lawyer for specifics. I'd start now so you have some clarity in your thoughts. Many do free consultations, so write out some questions before hand and call a few lawyers. No kids? No child support to worry about. bullet dodged. Is she depressed? You might have been rock bottom, but if she's … | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/02/22 01:54 PM |
| 1 | Since I've been divorced I've had to contact law enforcement around a dozen times regarding enforcing my custody time with my children. I've had my ex attack a process server with her car and take the kids out of state violating two separate court orders and dealt with neglect of their healthcare.What is grey rock? | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/02/22 04:45 AM |
