| 0 | John Griffin Life 2.0 took his ex wife backHaving some random influencer who is getting paid to build a following tell you what you want to hear and join their following is bad on both sides. Its funny that people will listen to some idiot on Youtube thats getting paid to have people engage in him, but clown on lawyers for preying on divorced people. If that helps you, Im not gonna tell anyone what to do, but its pathetic. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/01/26 04:30 PM |
| 0 | John Griffin Life 2.0 took his ex wife backThis. Not gonna be popular on this sub, but a bunch of people just want a middle-aged divorced Kim Kardashian to tell them they are right. Its pathetic. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/01/26 02:10 PM |
| 1 | Sort out women whose kids are grown?If you don't want to ever deal with that, you should. However, Im assuming you are a little older and have kids, so the dating pool is going to be smaller. Shrinking it further will make things tough. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/26 05:52 PM |
| 3 | Men who got divorced, did you lose a lot of friends?Didnt lose any that mattered. Just people I only would have been friends with through her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/01/26 05:39 PM |
| 1 | Ex wife has a new boyfriendBrother, and I say this with as much love possible, move the fuck on. Y'all are divorced. It is over. It will always be over. And you are wasting precious years on something that does not matter and, in fact, will just hurt you over and over. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/12/25 08:30 PM |
| 1 | Affair partners kids birthday partyYeah, I mean its possible. Idk that I would believe it. EASILY the most common lie people tell when they are having affairs is they got cheated on/abused/neglected. It helps them reclaim being the hero in their own story. At the very least, I wouldn't let it affect my kid's friendships. Avoiding someone who hurt you is one thing, but this seems like unnecessary steps. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/12/25 06:46 PM |
| 1 | Affair partners kids birthday partyWait... the AP's ex, who got cheated on like you, is a low-character parent? And you heard that this person cheated.... from your cheating ex and/or AP? I mean, I get wanting to be selfish, but this seems like a pretty big step to hurt your kid. | /r/Divorce_Men | 29/12/25 06:17 PM |
| 19 | Anyone ever send your in-laws proof your wife cheated?Do you have kids? Now imagine someone sending you proof your kid cheated. I get the impulse, but her family isn't there for her because she's perfect, they are there for her because she is family. And you can't change that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/25 04:46 AM |
| 7 | The divorced dad I’m dating doesn’t talk about his kids openly. Is this normal?I mean, getting on Reddit and accusing him of having some secret plan isn't leaving it alone.... like, at all. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/25 03:51 AM |
| 14 | The divorced dad I’m dating doesn’t talk about his kids openly. Is this normal?You haven't had a real conversation about what you are? His kids have been in his life for a long time, you haven't. You haven't even talked about what y'all are. And what is your response? That he has a secret plan or play. You sound insufferable and exactly why dudes like us fucking hate dating. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/12/25 03:49 AM |
| 1 | "Serving" the Defendent in an uncontested DIY divorce in NYSThe whole point of the rule is to ensure your wife gets the papers. The reason why you "can't" do it and why there needs to be an affidavit, is in plenty of divorces the plaintiff would not serve the partner, claim they did, and then try and win by default when their partner doesnt know there is litigation. Thats not your situation, so its extremely unlikely to come up. Just give her the documents and you are good | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 10:11 PM |
| 2 | "Serving" the Defendent in an uncontested DIY divorce in NYSIf you guys are agreeable, just give her the documents. The rule you are referencing really doesn't matter much. If you think she is going to turn around and file a motion to dismiss your claim, then just have a friend do it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/12/25 08:01 PM |
| 5 | Why did therapy not work? Be honest, don’t give me the polite, mature answer.She was banging a dude, got caught, and then claimed it never happened in counseling (after saying she would go to counseling to work on it). She kept talking to him, which again I could prove, but she claimed she wasnt talking to him and our phone records were wrong. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/12/25 03:52 PM |
| 3 | Expensive hobby after divorce?Obviously don’t be financially irresponsible. BUT also be you and enjoy your life. There has to be some balance you can strike here. Have fun! | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/11/25 05:16 PM |
| 5 | Today’s reality checkMy ex insisted that my kid goes to therapy (ironically because of how she treats my kid). And don't get me wrong, I am a BIG supporter of her going to therapy. So, it got added to our settlement agreement. The first week my kids were with my wife? She refused to take the kid to therapy. I had to leave work (without pay) in the middle of the day. Don't get me wrong, I support the therapy and its time with my daughter during a week when I expected not to see her. So plenty of silver linings. But l… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/11/25 06:40 PM |
| 1 | Finally part of the "It Gets Better" club.I mean, the house was 50% mine, so I could have forced the sale. But we basically agreed she can stay in the house for the next 18 months (she is responsible for all payments and bills) and avoid the costs of moving right not. She has to sell it at the end and we split the profit. In exchange, I knocked probably $60k off the alimony payments. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/11/25 03:50 PM |
| 1 | Finally part of the "It Gets Better" club.Therapy yes. Working out.... not really. I have a lot of injuries from the military, so I don't do that as much. BUT, I do play a lot of golf and do walks and hikes. So, not in great shape, but I think Im doing alright. | /r/Divorce_Men | 03/11/25 09:56 PM |
| 5 | How much alimony?Depends on the state obviously, but once you hit 20 years lifetime alimony comes into play in a lot of states. 7 years is a long time, but I have to think that its better than a lot of the alternatives you could have faced. Add to that the considerations that ARENT financial. Like, you will be good to go after 7 years. Hard to put a price on that. What is done is done, you made your decision. Don't spend too much time second guessing it. You can drive yourself crazy. | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/10/25 03:04 PM |
| 1 | I put inheritance in joint bank account. Am I fucked?Obviously depends on the law and the facts. But as a lawyer (this is not legal advice), I would not be happy if my client posted on Reddit that the money was used "for the wife and I" if I had to argue it was only the client's money. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/10/25 06:06 PM |
| 3 | Where any of you able to keep your house?If you bought that house together, she owns 50% of it and you’ll have to pay her the share of equity that belongs to her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 04/10/25 12:24 AM |
| 2 | How to be the Other Man?You’ll still feel the way you feel AND you’ll be a piece of shit. Totally understand the impulse, but that ain’t it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/10/25 10:20 PM |
| 2 | Financial prep before divorceI mean, if a split down the middle is the result of your situation, then whatever advice Reddit gives you is going to be problematic. Divorce sucks. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/09/25 09:29 PM |

| 6 | How long to get remarried after divorce?In the very beginning, he was interested in getting married again. My gut was telling me that the trauma was still fresh -- he had expected his life to go a certain way and was disappointed when it didn't go that way, so he was trying to fill certain gaps by jumping into marriage and trying to recreate the structure he lost. People getting divorced need to hear this. Rebounds/making poor dating choices after a divorce are super common because you are trying to undo the bad that happened and you … | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/08/25 06:52 PM |
| 3 | When your STBXW bangs someone elseYou said it yourself, step one has to be getting rid of the methods you used to learn that this is happening. No good can come from it. No drinking = positive step. Maybe call up a friend? Go see a movie? Get out and walk? Your mind is going to be racing, and since it is something you obviously struggle with right now, a good plan is to try and take your mind off it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/08/25 02:14 AM |
| 3 | Should I do it or no?You can just get the transcript. You would be breaking the law and there is literally no need to. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/08/25 04:14 AM |
| 6 | I'm afraid to build wealthEven setting aside how it legally would be divvied up, if at all, this is generally a poor way of looking at things. Are you thinking about getting divorced? If not, you are just hurting your family. But even if you did get divorced eventually AND it ended up being a 50/50 split, you would be better off getting 50% of wealth you accumulated than not accumulating it at all. The only thing you are protecting against is the possibility of your wife ever getting to share in property you accumulate. … | /r/Divorce_Men | 01/08/25 05:44 PM |
| 7 | Divorce Judge Dismissed My Signed Agreement—Now I'm Back to Square OneSo, if its a residency issue, Im assuming its a jurisdiction issue. Courts cant rule on stuff that is outside their jurisdiction, they have to dismiss it. Its likely an issue of you filing with the wrong court. Get a lawyer to look this stuff over. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/07/25 06:41 PM |

| 0 | OBBB estate/gift tax changes provide easy way to reduce marital assets for men during divorceBro, I’m a lawyer. And if you walked into a divorce hearing with a form that said you gifted a savings account of marital assets to your dad behind your spouses back I would bury you. This is all time bad advice. | /r/Divorce_Men | 08/07/25 12:49 AM |
| 10 | OBBB estate/gift tax changes provide easy way to reduce marital assets for men during divorceWhat you are describing is called an intentional dissipation of assets. And in most states, if not all, it will be calculated into the division of assets. And if your spouse can prove that you more likely than not did it to reduce marital assets in your favor? Then you really get screwed. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/07/25 08:41 PM |
| 1 | Social Media Lesson LearnedThe actual decree still needs to be signed, but all the hard stuff is done. Also, fwiw the ex deleted her social media (and text messages) and got slammed in court for it. So, as to the post.... you just gotta be careful. If you are hiding something, don't. If you aren't hiding something, don't make it look like you are. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/07/25 03:55 PM |
| 4 | Social Media Lesson LearnedAlternatively, don't do shit you shouldn't be doing. A bunch of my social media stuff was what I used to impeach her in her deposition. She said I didn't spend time or money on the kids, but boy do I have social media posts that prove that is incorrect. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/25 11:48 PM |
| 3 | Would you remarry and have more children in your 40's?As you already know from experience, it can look like a lot of different things. You could have another kid that ends up like your adult daughter, or ends up very different. Won't know til you try I suppose. Interested to ask, why is childless a requirement? | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/06/25 12:31 AM |
| 6 | Would you remarry and have more children in your 40's?I love my kids more than anything. They are 17 and 15 now and I would kill myself if I had to have more. I had my first kid at 20 and my 40s were always gonna be me time. And as for the young, single, attractive ladies that may want kids, the one thing I know FOR SURE after my divorce is I will never sacrifice what I want (within reason) for a woman ever again. Thats just my personal belief though, plenty of people would get remarried and start the whole process again. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/06/25 12:04 AM |
| 2 | Should I force my kids to see me?Always gotta blame someone else. Straight up left his kids and now he is the victim. | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/05/25 06:40 PM |
| 1 | Alimony Question—Help!The (VERY) general rule in California is that in a marriage of your length, the higher earning spouse will support the lesser earning spouse indefinitely (often for the remainder of their life). So, there are a lot of facts here that we don't know and would affect the decision. Was she earning the same as you or more for the entirety of your marriage and then suddenly quit when you guys decided to get divorced? That could certainly be seen as unfair and you might not have to pay. If, however, yo… | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/25 11:02 PM |
| 1 | This one’s interesting boysLots of case law? Hit me with a North Carolina case where a wife not in any type of divorce litigation was convicted of a felony for going through her husbands phone/iPad/device and catching him banging a subordinate. Bonus points if it cites the Fourth Amendment. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/25 10:54 PM |
| 2 | This one’s interesting boysRight? Imagine going to the cops and saying "I was fucking around on my wife but she went through my stuff and caught me. Can you arrest her?" | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/25 07:44 PM |
| 11 | This one’s interesting boysI mean, this has to be the question here. If you are screwing around on your wife and it's against your company's policy, the "I tried to hide it from her but she went snooping" defense is a VERY uphill climb. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/25 07:42 PM |
| 2 | This one’s interesting boysNot unless she was working for the government | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/25 07:40 PM |
| 3 | This one’s interesting boysAbsolutely not this. Lawsuits are expensive as hell (as we all know), and truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Sharing stuff you actually said and did is not defamation. | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/05/25 07:38 PM |
| 11 | Giving the greedy ex an ultimatumRights and responsibilities are two different things. You can sign away your rights (sometimes) but you cannot relieve yourself of your responsibilities (supporting your own children). Even if this did work, any dude that did it should burn in hell. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/03/25 07:52 PM |

| 5 | Do you fight less/get less angry in your new relationships?The same thing can definitely happen in new relationships. But it does not happen in all new relationships.

| 10 | “MY Children are My Life”Man, before we split up she used to do this all the time. It was kinda a joke. She would say "my house" or "my room." It became a lot less funny when we split up and I realized it wasn't her just saying something, but she actually believes everything we built was hers and hers alone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/03/25 05:23 PM |
| 1 | My last challengeThis is what you tell them. You guys built a life that required both of you. If both of you is not a thing anymore, that life is going to have to change. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/03/25 08:09 PM |

| 4 | Are we on a timeout or headed to divorceWife says "Lets get divorced" Wife asks "Are we going to get divorced?" That is 100% about control. I havent dealt with this specifically, but divorce sucks. For everyone. Both sides are going to lose parts of their life that they would rather not lose. So it is common for people to try and walk part of it back. You need to ask yourself what YOU want. Some people can do the separation thing to "find themselves." Some people would want out immediately. | /r/Divorce_Men | 28/02/25 06:45 PM |
| 1 | First relationship after divorce?It could go either way and ultimately you will have to make that call and live with the decision. I will say, the first relationship after a marriage is notoriously hard. Its really hard not to compare them to your marriage and, since your marriage failed, its also a really low bar for them to clear. It might not be the relationship that will last long term in your life but it feels like it in the moment because its better than what you had. Based on your other comment here, it does sound like y… | /r/Divorce_Men | 27/02/25 11:09 PM |
| 4 | Your wake up call.So that means we KNOW she is lying? I mean, she might be. She might not. But this post just assumes she is and, based on the downvotes, this sub does too. Imagine thinking you know whats going on in a 20+ year marriage because someone copies and pastes a post from Reddit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/02/25 02:31 AM |
| -7 | Your wake up call.Look, I get it. My ex pulled the same shit. Im not saying it doesnt happen. But the "it happened to me so its happening to everyone or 99% of the time" thing just isn't reality. The dude is the shit big a lot of times in divorces too. I get that this is a divorce_men page, but Im gonna take the side of the person being screwed in the divorce every time. Even if its not the dude. | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/02/25 10:55 PM |
| 4 | Your wake up call.In her defense, the lifestyle you build absolutely does that. It happens to guys too, but not in the marriage context. Golden handcuffs. You build a life and end up hating it but cant walk away because of its financial construction. Its commonly a marriage issue for women in the United States because our culture was built largely on women being stay at home moms. Again, not saying that women don't abuse that during the divorce process because some absolutely do. But the reason why they can abuse… | /r/Divorce_Men | 24/02/25 10:25 PM |

| 1 | Proposition--Create a DIvorce Data subredditFirst of all, THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. haha. The answer is... it depends. I would say the vast majority of witnesses I have dealt with have lied on the stand. Some big lies, some not big lies. I handle trials that deal with businesses, so I have to imagine that it happens more in something as heated as divorce court, but I dont really have anything that substantiates that. Lying in court is a big deal, dont do it. But, it probably isn't handled as forcefully as people who are on the wrong side … | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/02/25 11:49 PM |

| 6 | Proposition--Create a DIvorce Data subredditI'm a lawyer and my opinion is that this would not be helpful. Outcomes in legal proceedings are so fact dependent that you could not collect enough data to make informed decisions off of it. There is also nothing to suggest the sample size on this subreddit would in anyway reflect reasonable outcomes. Not to mention with divorce it is naturally a very contentious event.

And in something as heated as a divorce, everyone is going to see themselves as the good guy. So you gotta ask yourself WHY your family isn't on your side.
