Quick background - Wife convinced me to relocate out of state to be “closer to family” figured out she was really having an affair at the end of 2022. Divorce fully completed at the end of 2023. Ended up with joint 50/50 custody, no child support or alimony and a roughly 50/50 split of assets.

Initially she tried every trick in the book to bully me into a completely lopsided financial split which would have left me with about 30% of the assets we had accrued.

Thanks in large part to this sub, I found the balls she had stolen from me years ago and fought back HARD. I think she was actually shocked I stood up for myself and actually had a meltdown in front of 3 lawyers at the mediation settlement.

Anyway I stuck around for a while to try to pay it forward but I feel really good about where I am in life now and will be moving on from the “divorce world”

Wanted to give a big THANK YOU to this sub, the contributors, saved me from a huge financial mistake and possibly saved my life as well.

To the guys who are new - READ the stories and learn.. You aren’t special and neither is your wife. It’s all the same lies, manipulation, tricks etc the names of the people and the dollar amounts are the only thing that changes. I know it may feel totally hopeless and the pain is unbearable. I know, I’ve been there. It can and it will get better if you TRY.

Thank you again, farewell and good luck brothers.
