Kevin, good times last night. Be sure and post some of what you learned.

I'm posting a great example of why NOT to divide finances over on my thread.

And here's my 2 cents to everyone: if a W is completely moving on, doing everything for her, does she call her H to celebrate a new job? Really? When Kevin gets a new job, he'll have an urge to call her. And on here everyone will say "no, this was for YOU, all about YOU, why call her?" Somewhere in all of this there's a balance, but that was definitely a positive.

And all this mind-reading that his W took a pay cut and is working everything out just to file on him: according to that line of thinking, Kevin was smart to lose his job, and should stay at 0 income because then he'll get all kinds of money from W. If his W is really thinking that way, she's an idiot. Salary doesn't make much of a difference in Texas. It's a community property state, so the judge splits ASSETS 50/50, and that's about it.

Bottom line, when a W wants a divorce, she files and gets it done. Second thoughts are happening, and that's a positive. Again, I'm a good example of that.
