I took a simple 2 step approach to mine, it worked really well as I ended up raising both my kids and only lost my old beat up work car and what the X could load into it. 1. Be on the offensive the whole time, be the first to file any and all paperwork, be relentless and ruthless, you lived with the person for years so you know their weaknesses, USE THEM. 2. If children are involved, they are what is most important. <-------- Thats a period. Show up in court and be prepaired to give it all up for them. Hint, have your lawyer slip in a clause in the custody agreement that says when they are older they can override the custody agreement if they have activities planned with their peers i.e. school functions, friends birthday partys, or just want to hang out with you for the weekend and go fishing or to the range. Best of luck.

Sounds like we need our own OSA divorce support group... there are more and more of us everyday.
Thats no kidding. Going through this myself but now it seems she is realizing what she left was 10 times better than what she will end up with.
We wanted to settle this civil like without lawyers so we went to a divorce mediation service (had never heard of this until attorney friend recommended it).
He spelled out pretty clear what she was entitled to cash wise....$40k maybe $45k which in the long run isnt much. She walked away from 0 debt and very secure finances. I'm kind of a Dave Ramsey finacial guy.
Her big reason for leaving was "she had nothing to show for her 9 years of working". She doesnt understand "net worth" but she's learning it now.

Part of me wants to give her another chance if she will get some counseling for an obvious communication problem she has. But part of me does not trust that she wouldnt do this again. This would be easier if we were mad at each other over infidelity or other like reasons but we are not.
I think some hormone changes are at play here too and she made a knee jerk reaction that shes now seriously regretting.
I dont know what to do. Shes still the only woman I ever wanted to marry.
