The lady has a reputation for taking fools (men and women she represents) to the cleaners... and we went to a Chiefs game with her (vs. Steelers this year where her and my wife hit it off well). She is a Chiefs fan...a big one...uncommon for SEI. Her and I didn’t hit it off well. There was a moment she got upset with me because she had a booger hanging on her nose and I (thinking I was doing her a favor) told her about it and she got pissed. I told her, “might as well tell you so no one else sees it.” And then she had a friend meet up with her 2nd half and she kept saying snippy things about my wife and my wife wasn’t hearing it...but I was. After the game, I was already upset by the outcome of the game and this attorney and her loud friend and a couple others were loitering outside laughing. Her friend made another snippy comment about my wife being ditzy and it pissed me off and I was like, “Wife, let’s get away from these dumb****s.” And the lawyers bf (great dude) reaches out his hand to shake my hand and I looked at him and was like “**** off.” Overreaction on my part for sure. He didn’t do anything wrong. I explained on the way back how this gal was clowning in her for an hour and she didn’t know. Anyways, this attorney gal remembered that...and didn’t like me. And she was representing my wife...and again, this attorney is a known shark.

Got the decree and she took me to the cleaners...because I work 3rd shift (another reason to hate 3rd shift). I was fighting for split custody, she was fighting for primary physical care and child support...and she was awarded it on the temporary decree. I was only to see my kids every other weekend as long as I’m not working (I work most weekends) and was ordered to pay her $265 a week in child support... and I had a good attorney myself. This 3rd shift thing works against you big time with custody. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

I thought my life was over. 5 minutes after reading this, I received a call from my wife and she was crying. I congratulated her for taking me to the cleaners. She informed me that’s why she was crying. She told me she loved me and couldn’t do that to me or the kids and that she’d drop the divorce if I took her to the courthouse on the condition we go to marriage counseling (something I always procrastinated, unfortunately...but not now). I was there in 15 minutes. Divorce is dropped. Lot of money wasted, but it’s dropped. And we’ve never gotten along better. And marriage counseling has us on the right track. I’m really gonna put some left effort in making this work...she could have totally eaten me up alive and refused to when it came down to it.

I am happy.

A lot happened between the time we separated and got back together on both ends, but we are just gonna have to forgive and move on. It is possible.

But yeah that’s why I’ve been incognito for a while.

Thanks man, me too. Taking the right steps.

It was a close one. That was really, really nice of her and it proved that she does love me, IMO.

I hated not seeing her beautiful face. I swear I didn’t go a minute without thinking of that beauty of hers.

Yeah, yeah pics....gladly.

And to think she’s 35...

Pic was taken 30 minutes after we revoked the divorce. She looks happy. :D

Get to whatever places you bank at jointly and set up new accounts ASAP and dump all of your liquid funds into them. Some of it hers too? Well, feel free to charge a processing fee and take that shit too. Do that before she does it to you, because she absolutely will.

Anything else that she could somehow access that you don't want her to access? Get her the **** off that shit right ****ing now.

Once you're done with that, you need to secure your own dwelling and do it fast. House, trailer, sad bachelors studio apartment, whatever the **** it is do it. This is also a time you can start working on the lawyer front.

Whenever she's out to work or out ****ing her new man, that's when you roll up the moving truck to quickly pack your shit up and get the **** out.

Get your shit first, debate what shit is hers and what is yours after the fact. After that is complete, that's when you start dropping the truth bombs on her ass.

I'd want to complete everything from start to finish in 48 hours and would "treat her to a weekend out" to help avoid having that interference. If you can't get a place to put all your stuff so quickly, put it in a storage locker for now.

The main key here is to remove all your assets before she can even realize what the **** is going on, as until you officially do that she can take whatever of yours she feels like helping herself to. I watched a friend go through the proceedings and he followed all these steps and it was the most jedi mind trick shit I've seen.

You are the one poster who can argue the opposing side of an issue that I feel strongly about and I will walk away thinking, “ugh, why do I think this guy has a point right now.” And you are bright, witty and funny in doing so and it’s irritating. You are the Reggie Miller to me being John Starks. Haha jackass.

Anyways. This is some real life shit with people who are simultaneously dealing with some pain in their lives, me being one of them...and the last poster I want to read witty contrarian input from is your ass. Not here.

I know your type. One of my best friends is just like you. I haven’t talked to him about all this. I’ve been ignoring his calls.
