Divorced / Bankrupt

Yesterday in court was a rather stressful and emotional day.  I am finally divorced.  I am filled with mixed emotions. I am relieved that it is finally over, but I am also sad.   I did lose about 2\3rds of my retirement but I plan on teaching the next 20 years so I am not worried about it to much.  I got a full standard possesion order without any major restrictions or injunctions so that is a victory yet a hollow one.  With the child support judgement I am now hoplessly bankrupt.  I will try and find a second job to work around my 1st job scedule and my visitation time with the kids. I have been hopless before so it is not that much of a big deal.  I will pray and let God help me out on this one.

Many thoughts & prayers are with you. I wanna note that its not about the materialistic things in life. Its about all the things money CANNOT touch. The blessings, the gift of time, your children, your sobriety and your relationship with God. :)

Well actually this doesn\'t sound half bad. Due to the length of the marriage - i can understand the property division, the VICTORY here is the SPO - now that\'s the best news I\'ve seen all day! Financial stuff maybe hard but is recoverable - loss of your children, as you\'ve experienced for a while now, is seldom recoverable and very damaging to the things you hold near and dear to your heart. God will always help you, it was SHOWN yesterday - with the SPO, seeing your kids on a regular basis will give you motivation and spunk that you can\'t imagine. Finances are always hard, and some people like myself will struggle financially until the day we die - but it doesn\'t stop life - not seeing your children grow now there\'s a stop in life. Child support, well my friend, it\'s all part of it - i admire you for paying it and doing the right thing - I myself do not receive support from my ex and it would be a waste of time for me to try and collect - so life goes on.

I know you have a gloomy feeling about this, but I for one am doing a happy victorious dance for you - I am thrilled ot hear that the sorry SOB didn\'t get his way!!!!!! you know who I mean! Hugs, love, blessings and mostly PEACE to you my friend!
