Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group
I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...
You should call your cell phone company and ask how to go back further. They might be able to talk you through it. Be sure and print these out. I also found the ow's home number on the cell phone bill. You really want to look at the weekend he left and the days around when he told you he wanted to leave.
I think today is too soon to sit down and talk about hashing out an agreement. You will end up taking a swing at him. I would. You need to find a therapist that is also a divorce mediator. He/she will tell you what is fair to you. Do you know what is right? I sure as heck didn't.
Hugs to you my friend.
We are here and it sux but so many of us have been through this deceit. Good luck in your battle! i wish you strength ( i dont have it yet)
Many hugs to you!
In my state the judge wants you to be equal and equitable. Say he makes $100,000 and you make $30,000. Add them together and divide by 2. Maintenance is a 100% write off for him and you have to pay all taxes on it. You'll get at least half of his pension. He has to keep you on his life insurance to protect your maintenance.
Hugs.
Do not talk with him about anything..he is a liar and a cheat..it might be hard to grasp that on a daily basis but he is not the man you married and had children with. Do not sign anything. Get a lawyer right away and get all of your ducks in a row.
Please take the advice that is being offered here from us . We're all at different stages and can help and support you and your children.
Every time that you feel alone sign on here and talk to one of us. Just as pemdcat said...we are here for you and here for each other.
Hugs to you sweetie.
