6 years later, 2 years of false allegations of child abuse - 7 in total, another $150k in legal fees defending allegations. No criminal repercussions for filing false claims intentionally

I do have full custody now

400k of our 401k. Taxes penalties etc. It's all gone. Her choice. I offered her all that $ to mediate she said no. Now there's about 100k of equity to split and no more cash, 150k of debt.

Do what you can, hopefully she isn't self-destructive andsuicidakly victimhood with her and the children.

I thought I picked somebody to marry who wouldn't do this but in the end it turns out she is just copying her mother and I should have known better. So it's my fault and my price to pay.

Got better at budgeting. It was easy without ex spending every last cent.

Used whatever I had to pay off debts so my go forward cash flow was good.

Took 3 years of discipline. Years 4-6 have been most excellent.

Considering an ironic OnlyFans hustle

I raid the 401k portions she'll be able to touch

401k loan to pay her lawyer 21k. Credit card debt to pay mine (about 100k over 4 years)

cashed out 50% of my 401k. $75,000… 68k went to the attorney. the rest on a down payment for my divorce apartment.

my ex got the other 50% in a QDRO in the settlement. Started my retirement savings from scratch at 42 years old.

in 5 years post divorce I have already saved up more than I had in 20 years for my 401k because she was spending all my money on clothes and jewelry.

I did DoorDash on the side.

Moist-Caregiver-2000 · 2025-06-10T00:34:20+00:00

I rented my body to plus-sized women by the hour.

My attorney wants 3k just to file, he just told me I should do it myself. Lol it’s mind boggling 15-20k for the wedding and potentially thousands in attorney fees I’m in the wrong business. I should become a officiant/divorce attorney and offer a bundle option for a discount

Luckily my job was offering a large incentive bonus at the time. Truly a sign from God. Payed off almost everything

Sadly just borrowed from parents got a better job and racked up those credit cards

Didn't do any side gigs but I did have to sell some stocks and a project car.
