Country song is right. You are thinking, hey what couldn't we get this figured out. I tried doing the collabrative divorce. After 18 months, $40k in attorney's fees with the two lawyers, we ended up going to court and are still there.
You will not recognize your W at the end. Divorce has to be the ugliest most stressful thing I have ever dealt with. I thought I could handle alot in life, it has brought me to my knees on more than one occasion. Save time, aggravation, money and file for divorce if that is the end result. Get ready for a very emotional ride...
Have a good support group and excercise. Therapy is also helpful when it gets bad. Not every divorce is ugly. But ours started out amicable. Today is a different story which is sad. I wish the W can see it is about our boys, but right now fear and anger drive her.
