| 1 | Let me hear your financial recovery stories!Did you have to move to a small apartment in order to help save money during your recovery period? Did you have extra bedrooms for when the kids came over? What state caps your child support at 850 for 2 kids? | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/08/22 11:32 AM |
| 3 | Let me hear your financial recovery stories!So for those of you paying all this money in child support, are you still expected to pay for babysitting and daycare in order to allow your ex to go to work? Maybe I'm a douche, but due to the exorbitant amount of money the Ex will get that is over and beyond necessary living expenses, I feel that is not warranted. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/08/22 05:02 AM |
| 1 | how did you go about finding an attorney to work with?Even though I would feel shady for doing this especially right before I told her I was going to file, I know it would be a good idea because after I tell her I dropped divorce papers she could easily try to pull a large sum over to her account or her mother's account. In the end I am still due 50%, even if some of the sub accounts were for her supposed use. Either way I cut it I know she'll be offended and upset at me no matter what. Just don't want her to take revenge by making the following pr… | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/07/22 07:34 PM |
| 1 | how did you go about finding an attorney to work with?What funds do you use to pay the lawyer bills if you are the only one employed and use your normal deposits for living expenses? We/she have a bunch of sub accounts that we are saving for different projects but if we're divorcing do I just start digging into those accounts sine it's joint property? What's to prevent her doing the same or using more than me for her attorney or getting mad and transferring the money to her family so I don't have access to it? | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/07/22 11:47 AM |
| 1 | STBXW - stay at home mom, what should I do with the house after divorce?Was meditation set up by both of your lawyers? How did you go about finding and settling on which lawyer to use? I'm in the beginning stages and don't know the best method to do this. | /r/Divorce_Men | 25/07/22 11:19 AM |
| 3 | walk me through the recommended steps of filing for divorceIn her rants she floats the idea as though she could care less to divorce and be free of me. Kinda like she's already waiting for me to make the first move, or being sneaky maybe she is planning her own move in the background. | /r/Divorce_Men | 20/07/22 07:51 AM |
| 2 | Having the divorce talk multiple times? (She’s in denial)My marriage has been a total roller coaster of ups and downs. She is a very resentful person and I'm the nice guy who was too eager to please and overlook alot that I shouldn't have from the time we first dated and into our marriage of over 15 years and now with 2 kids. She's a stay at home mom (not by my choice) and has refused any suggestions from me that she seek employment. I'm in TX and feel I should start the divorce too but it seems like every time we get into an argument that proves we s… | /r/Divorce_Men | 11/07/22 06:27 PM |
| 1 | I think my wife resents me having a high paying job that enables me to get what I want despite the fact she chose herself to be a stay at home mom.I'm actually ok with the kids going to public school and her getting a job. I never actually asked her to do this, she thrust herself into it and took us all along for the ride. Unfortunately you don't get paid to take care of your own kids. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/22 02:14 PM |
| 1 | I think my wife resents me having a high paying job that enables me to get what I want despite the fact she chose herself to be a stay at home mom.Yep | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/22 11:58 AM |
| 1 | I think my wife resents me having a high paying job that enables me to get what I want despite the fact she chose herself to be a stay at home mom.If you don't get 50/50 custody in Texas do you have to pay more in child support? I'm already assuming she gets custody but don't know if 50/50 will be the standard arrangement? | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/22 11:54 AM |
| 5 | I think my wife resents me having a high paying job that enables me to get what I want despite the fact she chose herself to be a stay at home mom.What state are you in? | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/22 04:08 AM |
| 2 | I think my wife resents me having a high paying job that enables me to get what I want despite the fact she chose herself to be a stay at home mom.I haven't filed yet, but do I need to prove Shae has translatable skills like teaching since she home schools? I don't want to pay more than necessary and prefer limited to no alimony if possible since I know the burden will be all on me for everything else. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/02/22 03:58 AM |
| 1 | What is the typical alimony in AlabamaThat sounds great. Any idea how they calculate the amount? And do the judges default to no alimony unless needed? Texas is this way. | /r/Divorce_Men | 26/01/22 05:16 AM |
| 1 | End is near - should I accept 2nd job offerWill it make any difference if I quit job #2 before the divorce papers are filed? | /r/Divorce_Men | 22/12/21 01:09 AM |
| 1 | (TX) Can I file for divorce in my home state if I own rental property there?What if I took a government contracting job overseas and things went sour there? Would I be legally able to file in my home state in that scenario? | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/08/21 01:42 PM |
| 1 | Questions to ask lawyer (TX)I'm in Bexar county and I'm a little confused about what the advantages are of trying to get 50/50 custody. I know that it means that our time with the kids would be split evenly, but are there any other advantages? Does getting a higher percentage reduce my rate of mandated child support or alimony? I don't even know what the standard custody percentage normally is. Please enlighten me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 12/08/21 09:51 AM |
| 4 | For those with a mortgage, where did you move immediately post divorce?Good point. I was just thinking about the logistics of cramming my kids into a 1br apartment and that it would save me money, but they wouldn't have room to stretch out or have their own rooms if they are truly with me 50% of the time. Just wanted to check what other dads did. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/21 03:31 PM |
| 3 | Is there any particular advantage to getting 50% custody?It boggles me why 50% wouldn't be the default arrangement barring any type of abuse. I don't know what the other common percentages are if it's under 50%. In my mind we would split the kids 50/50 with her likely getting primary custody and I would expect that most days she would actually keep the kids with her even if it's over 50%, but in the event that I want to keep the kids with me, I would legally have the right to do so up to 50% of the time. I just wouldn't want her to keep the kids hosta… | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/21 01:28 PM |
| 1 | TX - need help figuring things outI’m from Texas almost exact same situation. You are making a critical mistake in regards to the kids. N I'm also from Texas. So in your case, since you were awarded more than 50%, does she pay you child support? In the event that a 50/50 split is awarded, do you pay a reduced child support amount? I'm really curious about this. I want my kids to be taken care of and realize how much of an asset she is in that department over me, but at the same time I don't want to overpay. This is especially tr… | /r/Divorce_Men | 21/09/20 04:37 PM |
| 1 | TX - need help figuring things outThanks for the advice. I noticed that this past week she has been intentionally amping up her energy and interaction with our kids even more so than what is normally in her character, and at the same time, its almost as though she pretends to look right through me or not interact with me at all as though I don't exist unless she wants to task me with doing something (with a nasty attitude of course). Just a week ago we had a serious discussion about where our relationship was going and what she … | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/09/20 04:09 PM |
| 1 | Need preparation advice getting startedFantastic advice! Next question is, who pays for her lawyer if she has no job? Will I be forced to pay due to the money being joint property? What is the best method to find a good lawyer, where should I look? How long did you spend researching and talking to lawyers before you dropped the divorce news on her? How were you able to pay for lawyer fees without her knowing? | /r/Divorce_Men | 07/11/19 05:57 PM |
