Husband Filed for Divorce Today

[Jessica M.]

Thank you. Sorry, he just returned from filing for the divorce as I was typing before so I didn't get to add much background.

We have a beautiful 2 year old daughter who is our world. He also has 2 kids from his first marriage. They live with their mother most of the time and come see us when they can. They live about 2 hours away and are both teenagers.

I am calling an attorney tomorrow. I've stayed at home with my daughter for the past 2.5 years so I'm looking into legal aid. I am reading over Michelle's Divorce Busting book and just ordered the Divorce Remedy book.

He's been talking about this for awhile but I guess I didn't take him serious enough. On Monday, he told me he was filing today.

There's no affairs or abuse or anything like that. Mostly irreconciable differences. In his mind. I know we have problems but I think if we communicated we could work them out.

He's leaving tomorrow to go stay with his mom for the time being. Me and my daughter are staying in our house until we can find somewhere else to live. We rent and I can't afford it. I need to find a job and figure out my next move. I am able to stay with my parents if needed but I'm trying to avoid moving my daughter around too much.

My husband says I can have whatever I want. I just want us to work this out.
