Ewww, I know that stinks, LMG.
The financial aspects are terrible. Divorce is a financial disaster for the involved parties.

I know that really stinks for you. The way I am looking at it - the money - it's a shame but really I am in a different place now. I used to think about saving $25 here or $100 there but now that is ridiculous. The legal fees for me are in the tens of thousands. No kidding. So I have let the money part go. I am assuming it will ALL be gone at the end of this thing.

I used to be financially conservative and careful, but at this point, the other side is spending so much on attorneys that everything else is noise. EVERYTHING. And it's not like we're loaded either. So far the other side's attorney fees are maybe 30% of our total liquid assets. I got fed up when I hit $10k so I just fired my attorney - she wasn't helping me at all.

If we keep going, we'll spend 75% of what we're trying to divide up. It's the silliest thing! But I cannot get angry about it, because I have no control over it. It doesn't make sense to me, but... nothing I can do.
