Well, AHH called me at work to have it out. It all ended with him saying that there is nothing left to salvage. So that is a good thing. I think he will do better feeling like he is in control. He is going to think about how he wants to proceed and we are going to talk again tonight.

Wish me luck! I just want this to go smoothly.

You got it Scubed. The minute I said that I couldn't do this right now I was working he flew off the handle.

Hey girl - just read thru your blog posts. I'm inspired by your life - what I read was a story about a woman with hope and positivity about building a life with a man she loved. After having her eyes opened to the reality, and having said hope stomped out of her, she picked herself up and dusted herself off and got the strength to better herself and her kids.

I would just like to say that in some twisted way - your life has served as comfort to me as I am moving through the very same cycle, as many women certainly are. This is EXACTLY why I joined this board and can find solace in a very, very lonely step-parenting world.

I'm wishing you the best of luck, and keep us posed!

I agree with goodtimes--do not give up your rights in the interest of getting it done "smoothly"

I have been divorced twice and both times I got NOTHING out of it: no CS, no alimony, no house, no car, no assets whatsoever. Mr. Guilty Daddy gave away everything in his divorce as well--BM sold the house after he signed his rights away. I talk to women who went through a divorce and at least got a house out of it; they are SO much farther ahead than I am financially--I'm stb 54.

We don't have a single thing joint and no kids together so there isn't really much to our divorce. I couldn't afford our house on my own anyway. It's ok, I don't mind renting again. At least then, I don't have to worry about the big stuff!!

You should file first so YOU have more control. The petitioner always has the upper hand.

GO FILE!

How long have you been married? You are entitled to certain things.

Sorry you are going through this. Sad

Only about a year and a half. I really don't want anything except the furniture that is in my name that I am still paying on.
