Trying not to lose my way in the ultramarathon

[NTX_Dad]

jb - great to hear from you. You sound happy and to be building a new, happy life. She seems to be "stuck" in turmoil and unhappiness.

I hate hearing about the new cars, etc. I don't know you or her, but it sounds like she's taking advantage of you. Ultimately you will be paying for part of her mistakes. Buying and selling automobiles so quickly typically incurs a large financial loss that's just rolled into the next bad decision. When/if the divorce hits the final stage, you could be on the hook for half of that loan/lease which is probably filled with tons of negative equity.

In some ways her being slow about the divorce is her making a decision - which is that she's not committed to you and the marriage.

I only throw that out there because you seem like a stand up guy and don't deserve that.

I don't know how Ohio laws work but you might ask your attorney about seeking an injunction or temporary restraining order which in essence preserves the "status quo" financially so that neither party can run up debt or hide assets.

As you get closer to the final resolution - which ever way that may be - you need to take care of YOU and your son.
