GeoffT Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 No, she was at least part-time. Yeah, I think the fact the kids are grown and out of the house, it was the impetus for the divorce. We should have divorced a long time ago. It sucks but better late than never.

Why the **** am I still married? Yup, lol. I'm looking at least $2200 a month alimony. That's a nice deduction I could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmlandru Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 1 hour ago, Aquacide said: ha. good luck on getting your ex's attorney to agree on reducing your payments due to loss of tax credit. fiscally this is a disincentive to ever get married. prenups are worthless too unless your spouse to be attests that they got independent legal counsel prior to signing and even then, in most states your earnings and gifts received during the marriage are community property. as you can guess, this hits the Red States harder. I just found out recently that contested divorces still take up five years if you miss hearings, fail to show up on time etc. that's how you avoid five years of Alimony, lol Not in my state. It just postpones the misery. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Having been through divorce before, a few thoughts: -Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it. -For guys, why is marriage like a hurricane? Because in the beginning there's a lot of sucking and blowing, but when it's over, you lose your house! In all seriousness, you only go around once in life. Do what you need to do to be happy. I was in a miserable marriage for years and finally said "Fork this". If I had known what it would cost to get her out of my life, I would have doubled the offer and said, "If I give you this money today, will you be out of my house by tomorrow?". Just imagine how happy you would be if you lost everything you have in life and then suddenly got it back SOL Member #101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlandru Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Well the separation lasted 3 years. The clock didn't start ticking until after I moved out. The judge was a man hating bull **** and hammered me bad because I didn't turn over my phone records. I didn't feel that the contact info for the ladies I was dating should be turned over to the opposing attorneys. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
