I work in the legal field, and have seen people get screwed. Don't allow yourself to do that. I think, if your attorney is not doing a good job for you, it's time to find another attorney. Especially one that is well versed in what the law allows vs. what your stbx wants.

I understand the need to settle things peacefully and quietly. However, there are also times when one is placed in circumstances beyond their control. I do not think, at this point, laying down and taking it is the right move.

Is there not some kind of law that states if adultery is involved, your stbx forfeits her rights to alimony (which, frankly I think is bs unless the spouse did not work during the time of the marriage), and pension?

Minimal. Not in the case of the children, but w/ stbx, absolutely. And 1200 a month for one child is excessive...


Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
