Wife filed for divorce...Is there still hope?

Sorry for so many mistakes.

At this point you need to have retained legal counsel. How you will do that I don't know but this BS of just using an attny for a hearing or two is getting you nowhere.

I just looked at Craigslist and there are hundreds of ads for roommate situations that are a few hundred dollars less than what your previous apartment would charge you. If you have to ride the bus for two hours then that is what you do.

Are you sure you are using all the resources available to you? I ask because you seemed really unsure about facebook and social media is a terrific place to network. Does your resume "dumb down" your stay at home dad status and really highlight other things? How do you answer the question when they ask about your stay at home dad status?

Start a blog - get on Twitter and Facebook - DO SOMETHING! Will it work? Who knows but it's better than sitting around waiting for the phone to ring!

CG,

The attorney I used was the only alternative I had. I am glad I did it because the outcome could have not been as good as the one I received.

I do know FB and social networks to a degree, but I had never heard FB called alt before. I do not use social networks that often. I do know that these places are great place to network. It just is not something I have taken the time to do with everything I have had to deal with daily.

I do use the all the resources avaible the best I am able to.

I do not have stay-at-home father on my resume because I put down that I have been consulting for my parents company, so it has not even been an issue. It will not be an issue.

I do not wait for the phone to ring. I am talking with people everywhere I go. I do this from the doggie park to the church I attend.

I will continue to do my best.

I know there is probably other things I can do, but I do have two kids and a WAW that is checking on my every move on the computer.

Thanks for checking in on me.

W and I had a big blow out today. We were fighting over everything. The car is a big issue. She was justifying her a that everybody is doing it these days. I told it does not matter what everybody is doing. It does not make it right. I was hearing so much script from her today.

She was telling me that she has an apartment, so she does not care what happens to her credit. She was saying my credit is bad which it is not.

She was going after me on everything about taking care of the family and so on. She does not take responsibilty for anything.

I did not expect any different from her.

It felt good to let out my feeling that I kept bottled up inside for so long. I will not do that again. I just had nothing to lose, and I did not care anymore. I am going to stick up for myself. I was calling her out on all her crappy behavior.

It just did not seem to make a difference, so it was probably a waste of time. It did help me to feel good to say so many things that needed to be said. I did not DB real good.

It might be a good idea to really brush up on social media and learn how businesses are using it. There are very few companies these days not using some form of social media and if you have a good working knowledge of it from a business standpoint you might be more competitive. It also might help you find new job leads.

I understand you are the primary caretaker to your children but if you need computer time to look for work then you must establish that daily.

I'd imagine your W has some obligation/requirement to inform you where she will be taking the children and "her new apartment" is not sufficient. Has she disclosed where she will be living exactly?

CG, IDU, Hope147, and friends,

This week was so awful for me, and it continues to be. I have not backed down from anything from STBXW. There have been a lot of fights lately about the kids and other things.

I believe that she paid the rent for the month because there has been no further issues with the on-site manager.

I did accept a position that does not pay much, but it will earn me about the same as her with spousal and child support combined. I am thankful for this. The manager was so impressed with and my experience he did increase the salary and added a commission based on company profits.

Congrats!

I took the kids fishing today, and she has them for awhile tonight. I do miss them, but I will have to adjust. I was very emotional with her moving this weekend and next. It is just so difficult to cope with. I hope it will get easier.

They want to go swimming and to the spa at her new place tomorrow. We need to make a custody arrangement, and I would like as many suggestions for 50-50 joint physical custody as possibile. Dan has given me one. I would like more too.

It would help when discussing and making a suitable arrangements for the kids.

I have found a much nicer place than the mobile home that allows pets that will fit my budget I believe. I certainly hope so. I will call on Tuesday. I have littl time, and I should have enough to afford it too.

Things are better, and I am very happy, but it is so disappointing that I am divorcing and my kids will no longer be together with both parents under the same roof.

Thanks everyone for keeping me going.

I hope we all have a good Labor Day.
