It is the living purgatory of Marriage in VA. The punishing state for men. Live in a cluster of a life for 1 yr or you can move out and pay for everything you already do plus your own stuff. Then have it used against you in court for abandonment. Oh joy. The purpose is supposed to force the couple to go to couseling to save the marriage. Problem is the court doesn't force anyone to go to counseling. So it does no good.
Divorce lawyers and court costs here are crazy. Full out fight 85k to the sky each person. For a collaborative D it is 45 to 65k both together. Madiation is 15 k to 25 k togeher. In the later two if you cannot agree then it goes to the first choice. Court ordered at that point.
sure that isnt $8,500? is this the same lawyer that told you about inhouse divorce?
SS i agree on the OM. It has to be something she really wants to dump her kids like yesterdays leftovers. I just cant stand being near this person anymore. She just keeps doing nasty things.
More venting....Had yesterday off she knew it and I always have had it off. We talked about doing something with the kids. I went to the DR early in the morning yesterday. She emailed me saying they were going out to a friends house for the day. We clearly had said we were going to do something with the kids.
Today I am home from work and she sent my S with a friend for the morning and he will go to school from there. My D is sick so she is home. Tried to comfort her and W said I thought you were sick. I can take care of her. D asked for W to snuggle her. W says I am on the phone I will do it later. She has been on the phone for over 45 minutes.
I just hate where I am. This damn purgatory he11. I feel like I am just here for her to spite me every chance she gets. I tried for the longest time not to think about it that way but it cannot be that many accidental slips. They are intentional.
