Is it contagious? Does this place need another divorce thread?!

Cause I can add one on here.
Lame!

Project #debt2017 goes up another level!
Kinda weird getting the reset button pressed after 12 years..

 

Well, shit.
I hope it is quick and amicable, unlike mine.
But on the flip side, my sex life is better than ever

 

Sorry to hear. Especially you

 

Dang man, that's sucks. Best of luck, if you need anything shoot me a message.

 

sorry to hear Blake..

 

Marriage increases your risk of divorce by 100%. Sorry to hear.

 

Aw man.... sorry to hear this Blake

 

Sorry to hear this, but what the ladies want is not a "Lazy Destroyer", but rather a:

 

Bummer dude. Welcome aboard!

 

Jerry Reed has a song for you.

 

12 years. Lucky skunk.

 

Damn, sorry to hear.

 

I just got back from Vegas last night.....I highly recommend a long weekend to dull the sting

 

Hey Kris, do you have a better / more clearly focused pic like that? I'd like to put one in my office at work.

 

Kidding aside, divorce sucks. Everything about it sucks, until it's over.

When two people are so far from the same page that they're willing end a relationship that literally requires a court order to terminate, it's likely that you'll be happier apart.

I divorced at 29, and I can say that the 8 years since have been the best of my life. Wishing you the same luck!

 

I stole that from a post here on the WERA board.

 

It's somewhat amicable... or at least as much as it could be for something like this.
For those of you that have gone through an uncontested divorce, is it pretty easy to use a single lawyer for both parties to keep costs down?

Or is it possible to file the paperwork ourselves? Maybe something like LegalZoom or some other method for filing? There isn't going to be any disagreements on how to split up.
The only thing formal we for sure need is an agreement for what she gets as far as her share of the house equity (we are both on the mortgage paperwork) and who pays for any associated costs related to the change in the home loan (up front costs). Other than that, I think just the divorce itself is all we need. She is already gone from the home.

 

Did you stay gone all day Sunday?

 

Have a back up plan for when she decides to contest the uncontested-ness of the proceedings.

 

Someone who practices family law will probably chime in and clarify, but it sounds like you're talking about binding mediation. That person would not represent either of you. You'd both agree to pay that person $XXX and agree to abide by their division of your property, support, alimony, etc. They would also take care of filing the paperwork, but do not make the mistake of assuming that person represents YOU or your interests. They would listen to your arguments about why you think you deserve more or she deserves less, but you're just hiring a stand-in "judge" who can file the agreement with the court.

I always struggle to understand how divorces can get so contentious when it comes to dividing up property and marital assets, but then I guess that's a good sign for my marriage... If we ever wanted to call it quits, I just picture us both being totally reasonable about things. YMMV.
