Husband asked for a divorce....

[Larry Gude]

Not everyone getting a divorce can do it all buddy buddy or even half way adult like. Thats the reason there are so many divorce lawyers. Heck, they're getting a divorce for a reason - if they were able to communicate, work together for the betterment of all to begin with they wouldn't be getting a divorce in the first place.

Gee, thanks. I hadn't considered that.

The point is that, and this is her call, if there is no acrimony and they are both fairly easy going about stuff, it is perfectly possible, and even acceptable in today's society, to not spend $1,000's of dollars on lawyers. Along with all the calls to lawyer up, I am just adding my opinion that that is not an absolute.

Been there and sat down with one lawyer we both agreed and signed, forked over a couple of hundred I think, but OP is already saying he is showing his ass. Who gets more ignorant when it comes to a divorce is it the lady or the man?

Yea he will be too busy having fun chasing women, having parties and being a dog again Ruff Ruff

Not without a job, he won't.

Ruff.

I would think we have equality there.

FWIW; great movie;

Intolerable Cruelty (2003) - IMDb

This thread has been up less than 3 hours and already has over 1,100 hits - are we a bunch of nosy people or what? Oh yeah, I forgot, some of us may be looking to get information that could help OUR personal lives, that's right .

MD recently changed their divorce laws I heard. So the OP really should get a free consultation with an attorney whether or not she thinks she can afford to hire one. After what the lawyer says, one may find they NEED to have a lawyer or could stand to lose much more than the cost of the legal fees.

Thank you. I can almost guarantee there will be no lawyers. I will draw up the paperwork and after a few days of being nasty he will sign them.

It is just suprising that he probably has a girlfriend, really didnt see that one coming. Does that mean I can have a boyfriend now?

If you get married again and have or plan to obtain assets get a prenup. Makes it very easy and quick.

Just consider; women were crazy about Lyle And Erik Mendez. Women love puppies and orphans. I can't tell you how many chicks I picked up just walking into a room and peeing the floor.

It seems obvious you know your guy, how he thinks and will react, so, either a boyfriend isn't gonna matter to him at all or it's gonna provoke him. So, still your call. No sense making a problem where there is none. :shrug:

You don't know that he has a girlfriend, and no you cannot have a boyfriend. At least not until everything is signed and you are formally separated.

Yeah maybe not but is should be fun especially since it will piss him off, although right now I think he deserves to be pissed off!

Is this the set up for a big reveal five posts later that you're already banging some other unemployed guy?
