- Hi all - Did any of you ever experience physical symptoms while you were going through this process? This is all so stressful. And certainly an emotional roller coaster. But I'm FEELING it now. I feel the tension in my body all the time,...
- I'm sitting here struggling mightily with a number of catch 22 situations thanks to the H. For example, I need to sell my house soon. To get it ready to sell, I need to have most of the inside painted. The guy who has done most of the painting...
- So, the discussions H and I have been having this week have dissolved into no progress. Even I though I reduced my expenses significantly as my attorney had requested, we were still too far apart. His initial offer for monthly was ridiculously...
- Not sure if this was on the wonderful list of books provided by Kim, but I am just now reading this one - Think Financially, Not Emotionally by Jeffrey A. Landers, who is a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and writes the "Divorce Dollars and...
- So, I'm in my late 50s. I do have some trust issues that I need to resolve before I get into another relationship. But, Im wondering how likely it is at my age that I will even find someone I would like to date. How many of you who are my age or...
- This is an article that I found very, very interesting and thought you all might as well. Although my situation wasn't nearly this severe, I was a victim of financial abuse. Didn't even know there was a name for it until I read the article. ...
- Met w/my attorney today. After much work, I gave her my final expenses. She said, "You've got to cut these in half." I just there in total disbelief. These are real numbers and real costs. None of it was out of line. But, she says it's more...
- So, my attorney will be calling today to discuss a response to my husband's agreement offer. As I've mentioned, my h basically cut all the big numbers - the alimony, the life insurance policy, etc. in half. How in the world does one respond to...
- I am floored by the number of people I know - people I would have considered friends - and even some family members - who show no interest in what's happening in my life right now. I keep thinking, even when they had the chance, that question - so,...
- I feel so blah. Just can't get my ducks in a row. Can't sleep. Got a million things to do. All very important things. Don't feel like doing any of them. I think I must be officially burned out. It's been a long, stressful 8 months and I think...
- So, my husband submitted his response to the first draft of our agreement. Basically, he cut all the big numbers in half(the alimony, the life insurance, his contribution to my VISA balance, which is now over $13,000. Anyone else's spouse do that?...
- I was wondering this morning if any of you who divorced later in life had been a stay-at-home mom. I was for 19 years. My daughter is now entering her sophomore year in college. It has been quite the challenge to return to the workforce. I was...
- So, the first draft of our agreement is done and in my stbx's hands. I asked my attorney about the tax consequences of all that we are asking for and she said that we address that later. But to me, it seems like NOW is when we should think that...
- Good morning all - Is there any way to guarantee the payment of alimony? I'd like to believe that a settlement agreement is a court order and that the stbx has to comply or will be thrown in jail. And maybe that's the case. But, what if he loses...
- So, the first draft of our settlement agreement is sitting on my bed, waiting for me to finish making a few changes. We are asking for about 8 years of rehabilitative alimony plus some of the assets. Sounded pretty good to me, except that the...
