Husband asked for a divorce....

What about texts that are threatening? Like...I hope you choke, I will get you fired from your job, etc, etc, etc,

You would need to ask someone in your local law enforcement whether those would qualify as threats. Saying "I hope you choke" vs. "I will choke you" is very different. The latter being a threat, the former, probably not.

Getting protective orders against people is getting harder. I assume it is perceived that people abuse the ability to get protective orders, so the criteria for granting them is becoming more stringent in many jurisdictions.

He sounds like a real winner. No job, telling the OP he wants a divorce but saying he's gonna get her fired. Well if he choses to not have a job to support his kids and his wonderful plan is to get her fired, who's supposed to pay the bills? Us? He doesn't sound all too bright.

To the OP - like others have said, keep the texts. I wouldn't bother responding to them though. I think I'd send one text, only because it doesn't seem you're able to talk to one another at this point. I'd ask him what he expects the living arrangements to be since he wants a divorce and I'd ask him how he plans to support himself / pay child support. The gravy train is over, he needs to actually get a job to be on his own. If I was planning to leave my husband I'd have a plan in place before I told him. Makes me wonder if this guy is serious or just throwing a tantrum like my 2 year old does.

I am saving all the texts and I have asked several times what his plans are but he is just running me around in circles. My 3 year old was having a fit last night and I was thinking the same thing..sounds like the old man! He may have been just throwing a fit but it has gone to far and whether or not he is serious, he is getting a divorce now.

Nobody deserves the disrespect that I have lived with this week and I am going to get this divorce, move on with my kids and have a relationship with a person who has an income, respects me and the kids and shows me what real love is!

I didn't have any trouble getting one last year.
 
MD is a 50/50 state. Anything aquired after the marriage is split 50/50 including retirements and stock holdings.

We agreed not to touch each others retirements, stocks, etc. I made out MUCH better than he did in that aspect.

Same here. She took her bank account, I kept mine, I kept the house and everything in it. Retirement/401K/etc... were completely excluded.

Oh man.... I was on page 1. Didn't realize there were 15 more pages already!! :lol:

Sounds like he changed his mind. Probably came to and realized that he needs someone to feed and shelter him. Which means he probably doesn't have a cookie on the side.

But you can fix that! Wash him and dress him up, then take him to Dew Drop if you're over 35, or Catamaran's if you're under 35. Hang a sign around his neck that says "free to a good home" and give him some money to buy beers. One of those gals will snap him right up.

My father was a very abusive (both mentally and physically)man. My parents divorced when I was 16. He left and I have not seen him since nor do I care to.

When I turned 17 my mother married again and I got home from school when day and her and her new husband were gone. There was no furniture in my house except for my bedroom and $20 on the counter for "dinner".

She never cared if I was home by 10pm. I have never done drugs and I was an honors student in highschool.

I recovered from her leaving me then. I am very happily married and have 3 wonderful children. I will not allow her to ruin my life again!.......


So what's the deal Stokes?.........Are you happily married, getting a divorce, have 3 wonderful children or 2 children you will definately be getting custody of?:popcorn:

If you had read the whole post I stated that this was unexpected... I thought I was happily married. I have 3 kids, one is his (my step child) and the two that are mine. Feel better now?
