Bought to go pick up the kids, but yes I’d say I’m thriving. It sucked but it was so worth it.

My divorce was finalized last month after nearly a year and almost $85K in legal expenses. I hit just about every square on the silver bullet divorce bingo card. I had 3 restraining orders attempted against me. 2 were temporarily granted and ultimately dismissed with prejudice and 1 was outright denied. She assaulted me twice in front of our kids, called my Shirt nearly every day demanding to talk to my CC. She called Security Forces, OSI, legal, chaplain, and threats to file an IG complaint, call the base CC, and file a congressional complaint (yes she went full on crazy). She called in multiple welfare checks on me with local PD and Security Forces.

Ultimately I ended up with a one year order of protection against her, sole legal and physical custody (she gets 3 weekends a month), I pay 6 months of alimony ($1K/mo), she pays me child support, all assets split 50/50 including selling 2 houses, and she gets 47.98% of my retirement.

E7 divorced at 10 years and 3 kids. Pay 1800 a month in child support and she gets 50% of my retirement when i hit 20....even though I got 6 years left. Stationed in Japan, kids stateside. I feel like an atm, but I'm still able to save and invest. Brother we just make it work

Separated and should be divorced any day now once the papers show up in the mail. E6 with over 15 in clearing 100k and I'm we both agreeded on 1200$ a month for child support in California. I gotta put up the house for sale soon and pay off her car with the money but in all I got a great deal. 50 50 split plus I get them every weekend. Just got lucky that she's not wanting the court to be involved.

Going through it now so no garnishment or anything yet. Separated in June of this year and I now pay for the house my kids live in (close to $2,900/month) and all the bills to the house.

I am surviving quite well because according to regulation, I am providing more than enough for my rank for a separated military member.

The amount of child support/alimony she will get from me should be less than what I am providing now but that’s to be determined in the upcoming months.
