Oh yes, if you come to a decision together on the split the judge will just sign off on it. I was approaching it from the perspective of two people who couldn't agree, at which point the judge will split everything down the middle. Two people agreeing on anything in a divorce is a completely foreign concept to me Chi, and mine's not going well, and I passed the one year mark recently, so I'm a little bitchy about the whole subject. I really should probably avoid this thread altogether, the subject of divorce just makes me

I've been going on 2 1/2 years of separation. I'm about to begin the process of writing up my divorce papers, finally. I hope it ends swiftly for you!!

Good luck to you Bookie. It sounds like you and your Ex are fairly amicable, which should help tremendously. I've just been really out of sorts with the whole damn mess for the last week, I'm tired of idiotic bullshit, but mostly he & his family really upset the kids and I have a very hard time not having it out with him over that. But I have to play nice till everything is finalized, and it's taking a major effort right now. It just gets really old sometimes, and I don't like it when I get forced to be mean and nasty. I do not understand why someone who is supposedly a human being refuses to act like one.

It's a real shame that adults can't act like it. I hope he wises up and realizes the pain he's causing his kids by his actions.

You guys are like the mafia, too funny! Love it!!

And thanks Tarshi. I'm sure it'll go just fine. (Famous last words. LOL)

Edit: You two remind me of a guy I work with. A few years ago, before I moved out of my husband's house, I was at the bar after bowling and talking to a coworker. He's 100% Italian. And he looked at me, after I said what had happened between my ex and I, and he said, if he ever does that again, you let me know, because I know people.

It floored me. And knowing him, I know he was telling the truth.

Thanks for the offer Tarshi. I'm actually trying really hard not to remember all the tips my grandfather gave me on how to dispose of a body.

The person with the most, has the most to lose. It matters not whether that person is male or female. I suspect it is fairly accurate to say that a larger percentage of men in divorces out earn their spouses, and thus they'd have the most financially to lose, however that's not always the case. You take a woman who out earns the man substantially and she's going to go through just as much shit as any man would, and she's going to have primary custody of the child(ren), and be supporting them. So in those cases she ends up worse off than the typical man.

In our culture sister and for that matter in most of Western Culture that continues to be the MAN.

Two-thirds of all divorces are initiated by women. One recent study found that many of the reasons for this have to do with the nature of our divorce laws. For example, in most states women have a good chance of receiving custody of their children. Because women more strongly want to keep their children with them, in states where there is a presumption of shared custody with the husband the percentage of women who initiate divorces is much lower. Also, the higher rate of women initiators is probably due to the fact that men are more likely to be "badly behaved." Husbands, for example, are more likely than wives to have problems with drinking, drug abuse, and infidelity.

Mainly that would be because the laws give the money (child support) to the person who has the kids.

Why don't you inviestigate the statistics on how many women take custody vs men. Most states have formulas for how many nights they sleep at one parents house vs the other and how much income each person brings to the equation. The equations don't say man or woman just who has the most work/responsibility. It stands to reason that person has the most expense after the divorce. You don't divorce your kids or your responsibility to them. Stop being a whiner.

Stop being so limited JC. He clearly was talking about alimony again for the thousandth time has nothing to do with alimony my friend. What you keep bringing up are child support matters not alimony a fricking stipend so that woman can live the lifestyle she's accustomed to.

Andrae he referred to a post by Espy that clearly referred to child support. Child support is not alimony. Child support is a given alimony is not.

I have never met a woman that has gotten alimony. It usually is child support. Maybe you have to be really rich or be dumb enough to not let the wife get a job for that to happen.

He highlighted the info on child custody Andrae. Jordan is absolutely correct that child custody is tied to child support. I think her point was not only valid, but it actually made me realize something I hadn't consciously considered. The person with custody of the children has more responsibility, and will direct a large portion of their finances to supporting the children, therefore factoring that in over the number of years till the children are adults significantly increases what being divorced cost that person. Interesting, thanks Jordan!
