Hi jb -

My W asked questions about using her half of my retirement during the process and it got me VERY angry. I don't know how you kept your cool, but kudos to you.

Has the divorce been filed in court yet? If so, is there a temporary restraining order or temporary orders in place?

In Texas, when those are in effect, neither party can make any large financial transactions, so that would prevent her from buying a house and it would prevent you from letting her borrow from your retirement.

I loved throwing that in my W's face when she asked questions like that.... after all, she was the one that had filed and her attorney wrote up the temporary orders. LOL

Hang in there man, I was a lot further in the process and had many ugly fights, and yet by the grace of God we made it and are together and happy again.
