| 2 | STBX Jealousy and Paranoia?typical female behavior Don't. It's typical cheater behavior. Man or woman they project onto you what they are doing. I think it may be because they want to believe anyone would cheat simply because they are, but mostly it's a misdirection tactic. Think about it as a twisted game of Among Us. She's the imposter, accusing her crew mates to cover it up. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/06/21 10:00 PM |
| 1 | Best State for a Man to Get Divorced?I'm in SC. We have at fault divorce, with one reason being adultery. The wayward partner can claim to have been forgiven, or that the affair was condoned, if the marriage continues for a time. This is called condonation. It's basically the only defense against at fault due to adultery (except maybe physical abuse toward the wayward spouse). I am not a lawyer and I don't know CA law. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/06/21 02:54 PM |
| 1 | Best State for a Man to Get Divorced?What have you done since discovering the adultery? Generally, if you live with her as husband and wife for a certain time after, it opens you up to a "condonation" defense. You may already be screwed in terms of an at fault divorce, no matter where you manage to make your residence. | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/06/21 02:41 PM |

| 2 | Retirement accountsGenerally, each of you can "shield" whatever value you had in retirement funds when you got married. For example I brought about 30k into the marriage in a 401k. I now have nearly 90k in an IRA and a new 401k. We will then split 60k, rather than the entire 90k. This may be different in Canada or your province. I'm sure there are some places that don't go by "community property". In those areas, maybe, whoever's name is on the asset/debt keeps it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/06/21 04:50 PM |
| 3 | Getting divorced after almost 2 years of marriage. I let her stay in our house that we have added 200k of value now worth 850,000 (sweat equity, new kitchen, driveway etc) she wanted to buy me out for $8,000. I’m in a 50/50 state. I don’t want to ruin her but I’m entitled to more right?It depends. Are you getting a bigger share of something else to balance it? You will usually see total value splits that result in 50/50 but there are dozens of ways to reach that 50/50. Maybe 8k to get you off the title of the house but a huge discount on credit debt, or a larger share of retirement accounts. On the other hand she may be screwing you over. You need to reexamine the entire contract. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/21 11:31 PM |
| 3 | Soon to Be Ex-wife is asking for the money to be paid back for Citizenship Processing and College Tuition during our marriage. Is this fair?Honestly that money was spent out of household wealth. She spent it willingly and it was agreed upon (it seems). She CANNOT legally or morally expect repayment for that, ESPECIALLY if she is at fault. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/06/21 01:58 PM |
| 1 | Questions - Child supportI think CS will be at based on discovery of your current monthly income but it varies by state. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/06/21 03:10 PM |
| 1 | How do you guys share kid expenses?I am being lenient on my wife. Thankfully she ceded the best bargaining positions to me, leaving the house and kids to me and so on. If she doesn't get her shit together, I'll go back to court, too. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/06/21 11:05 PM |
| 2 | How do you guys share kid expenses?Mine'll get child support, too. I estimate it to be $950/mo, but I don't know yet. No alimony! She's basically unemployable, whether by choice or due to health I don't care, but she'll be applying for public assistance. If I want the kids to have something I expect to be the one to buy it, but I'm NOT agreeing to a setup that would allow her to run up the score. I shudder to think about being responsible for every 80% if she spends 20% but I know I could never enforce her paying 50%. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/06/21 10:46 PM |
| 1 | How do you guys share kid expenses?I'm offering to pay for health care costs and cell phones, because I would have anyway (sole earner). [I'm also offering to continue her therapy and psychiatry, but her other Healthcare costs are hers.] Everything else is an unstated %, requiring pre-approval, paid either directly to the provider or indirectly to the spouse. I do expect to be paying for electronics, extracurriculars, and most school costs (field trips, tuition, whatever), but it's not enforceable. I will also be primary custodia… | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/06/21 09:42 PM |

| 1 | Truth.....the great equalizerYes! It's like she's not the woman I impregnated...she's not the mother I hoped her to be...she's not the wife I wanted...she's not even the friend that I deserve...she's a stranger, dressing up for the clubs and wearing wigs who SAYS she loves and cares for me but shows nothing but contempt. | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/06/21 06:49 PM |

| 3 | Dating during divorceStories I read make it out to be a terrible idea. It is a distraction from the divorce, isn't much fair to the person you date, and many other reasons. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/05/21 09:41 PM |
| 5 | I got screwed over (paying my ex way too much money)I almost went that route. I first suggested $1200/mo, when child support was around $900/mo. I rethought it and changed it to child support on the state guidelines and cost sharing with no specific percentage. Everything related to cost sharing (medical out of pocket, sports gear, Christmas gifts, etc) has to be clearly agreed to in text, email or writing. Neither of us can demand any cost sharing, and will bear the cost of we spend money without asking first, so we can't run up the score. Frank… | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/05/21 08:02 PM |
| 2 | Unbelievable [rant]It's really only short cuts the year separation period and removes alimony. It can affect the division of assets and custody, but that depends highly on the judge and the lawyers involved. Not paying her alimony is pretty sweet. At 8 years married and over 100k salary and she never worked outside the house, it would have been a significant chunk of change. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/05/21 07:50 PM |

| 2 | Can I avoid loosing half my money.Tread very carefully when "hiding" money. It will look very bad in court. You may be able to make some strategic investments, such as putting money in a fund for your children (if you have any). Typically that won't be split because it technically belongs to the child. You should talk to a lawyer and a financial advisor to make the right decisions. There are plenty of tricks and tips, but beware they can be right on the border of legality and can (even when legal) look bad in court. Be very care… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/21 04:37 PM |
| 1 | Can I avoid loosing half my money.Talk to a couple of lawyers. It all depends on your local laws and the judge who will potentially see your case. You may be in a good position regarding alimony, given your relative incomes. If you're in a community property state, you will have to split everything, unless you two come to an alternate agreement. Sometimes, if you can prove you literally paid for everything for the house (down payment, mortgage, upkeep, renovations, etc) you can argue for not splitting the value of the house. But… | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/05/21 04:30 PM |

| 5 | Did solo marriage counseling help any of you guys? Is it worth it?We started seeing a couples therapist, but my WW stopped after about 3 weeks. I kept seeing the therapist alone until after D-Day. Now that I'm divorcing my WW, she's starting to go again to work on co-parenting. I think my WW stopped going because she was tired of having to keep her cheating secret from a trained psychologist. I benefited greatly from still seeing the CT. Kept me grounded through the affair and helped me see that my WW was not invested in our marriage anymore. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/05/21 03:39 PM |

| 2 | What happens if I set up separate account before divorceYou will have to disclose all accounts. You may have to account for your spending.
