And so the legal battle starts

After finding out that my s2bx was threating to divorce me for ub, of which he has no grounds so would be made op, I was informed that I would not recieve funding to contest this so as he's prepared to accept me divorving him on grounds of Adultery I have little choice but to start divorce proceedings. This is a big step for me. Anyway I instructed my solicitor to start divprce proceedings saying I was naming her, wished to claim costs from both parties and wanted to go for whatev [...]

Step one:

I'm feeling much, much better today. I'm resolved on a course of action, and I'm preparing myself for the huge changes this will inevitably bring.

I feel like a different person today. Over the last eight months I've been through rock bottom, I picked myself up, I regained my self-confidence and my joy in life, I came crashing down again briefly, and now I'm ready to sort this mess out and get some stability back, for myself and my kids.

I sp [...]

Back again

Hi all,

It's been a while since I was here. Everything seemed to be going so well. I met someone, looked like it was going to work out, but it didn't. The Atlantic proved to be an insurmountable obstacle. Damn.

Meanwhile, my divorce has got nowhere. I thought she was ready to file in August, and we'd agreed everything. But here we are in November, and she still hasn't put the petition before the court. I've got fed up of wait [...]

Trying to let go and move on

dawnuk57@yahoo.com — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

We lived together 3 years, bought a nice house and got married. We didnt have children as i couldn't stay pregnant for long, always miscarried around 8 weeks! Hubby had 4 kids from 1st marriage and we all got on pretty well, they stayed with us some weekends & on holidays, they lived away so contact wasnt constant.

I thought we happy together on the whole, despite his problems with alcohol & pill addiction (codeine dependency).

I encouraged him to leave his employmennt [...]

Unreasonable behaviour - how unreasonable?

jonaedwards@deloitte.co.uk — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Hi,

Seems the only way to get a divorce (which we both want...) will be for me to petition for unreasonable behaviour.

I'm luck enough to now be on good terms with my x2b; last thing I want to do is upset her and us spend all our money on lawyers. How "naff" can my examples of her unreasonable behaviour be? Does anyone have any examples?

HATE HIM

I have been married for 17 years. Have three children aged 16,15, and 10. After 13 yrs of marriage I found out that husband had an allegation of rape. He did not tell me I found out from a letter from court. He was convicted and sentenced to six yrs in prison. I looked after my kids by myself.He promised me hes a changed man and apologised everyday for putting me through this. I accepted his apology for kids sake and even took kids to visit him in prison regularly. Soon after his release he star [...]

In the hands of the court now...

Afer dropping my son off this morning, I headed off to the Family Law Court with signed paperwork in hand.

I was amazed at how quickly I was able to get in and there was only 2 people in line to see the court clerk.

I filed my paperwor, paid my $167.00 filing fee, and in less than 10 minutes, was assigned a case number.

The clerk instructed me on assembling a packet for the Judge to review and sign, I headed up to the Judge's chambers and dropped them in the in-box.

Buckle up, the ride's about to start

matt@chaos.org.uk — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

So this is it. The divorce petition will be in the post early next week. We're hoping to keep everything amicable. I've agreed to cop to unreasonable behaviour without argument, we've agreed how to split nearly all the assets and what payments I will make, we've agreed what will happen with the kids, and so on.

Now let's see how badly the lawyers can scr*w things up. I'm intending to try out the new wikivorce managed divorce service, and see if [...]

Post FDR Blues?

poshie72@msn.com — Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Ok not going to write much tonight as it is getting late and have to be up usual in the morning.

I haven't written on here for a few days, mainly because I have been so busy doing various things with the kids, watching the Saints stay in the Championship, being ill (STRESS!!) and trying to keep busy ahead of the FDR.

Well the hearing was yesterday. As I expected he still hasn't produced his financial details, nor did he bother to complete the financia [...]

An international marriage gone horribly wrong

shivji@gmail.com — Sat, 10 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100

It's tough to be a single man having had to fight to be able to get married and then fight to get divorced.

The marriage

I'm a 20-something Londoner and I got married to a lady from Lahore, Pakistan in 2006 after we'd met in quite random circumstances. At the time, we were in love and my family and friends were deeply supportive of my relationship. The distance was the biggest problem and so I had to fly all my family to Pakistan so that I could get married in accor [...]

Getting Started

svenjet@yahoo.co.uk — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100

On the 1st of February I knew deep down my wife was having an affair but the hope, dream, that I was wrong tore me apart until she confessed on the 7th March.

Since then it's been a rollercoaster of emotion and pain. Sometimes, I've done well other times I haven't. As I write this I'm in one of the bad times.

We are both in our forties. I think when you get over 40 at some point something inside you realizes that in terms of your l [...]

Background

Hi, So here I am 6 months after my ex told me he was having an affair with one of my closest friends and that he was leaving me and the children for her.

Cold hard and to the point. Supposedly they had only consumated it 6 weeks before he leaves.

He walks out on 18 years of marriage and 24 years of a relationship. He leaves 2 children (and his dog!) with no guilt and the only comment being - there was a problem that needed solving so I have solved it!

So where has that left [...]
