Leaving the Land of Insanity...

I think Dan is a liar and a manipulator. I do not beleive anyhting that he says to you. I think he will continue on as he has been.

Nobody with any common sense at all would go through a divorce with no lawyer..especially a businessman...a cattle farmer...yeah right...

so do you really think that if you said you wanted the farm that he would just sign it over??

I beleive in a fair and eqitable settlement for both parties..but for him to say..I'm gonna do this with no representation..well..i don't believe him..

My XH has no common sense. He didn't have a lawyer representing him, he just used the free divorce clinics the county offers.

Like BBJ, I think he "knew" that I wouldn't get outlandish and things are pretty cut-and-dried in California if your marriage lasted less than 10 years, which ours did. However, my attorney did write in some language that he didn't catch that cost him about $2k, property tax money we had been disagreeing over for months. I just shut up and had it inserted and then he had to pay up. She also made sure the marital settlement agreement language favored me in little ways.

We were able to divorce with very little hostility and legal fees. It helped that I made him pay for all legal costs since it was his idea, it kept his antics to a minimum.

Good luck BBJ. Don't go out of your way to make waves, just make sure your butt is covered.
