What I want to know OP is where I can find a damn good lawyer in Baldwin or Mobile County so mine is less brutal? It’s time for me to enter the Transfer Portal or if we want to use NFL terminology I want to put my sorry arse wife on waivers. It’s not like there is a Yelp for finding a damn good lawyer.


You dont need an all world lawyer unless you got a lot of assists or some weird other shite going on. It is pretty damn methodical.

If your divorce is brutal it is because your wife is a bitch or y’all are getting played by your lawyers.



I’m not going to say it has never happened, but I don’t know a single divorced person who says, “Got divorced, it went really well”.

It just sucks. Not sure why anyone would try to sugar coat it.

I have three young kids. It’s brutal



Do you have a hard copy pic of the kids? I need you to do something by tomorrow. Get a picture of those kids and put it in your car, on the dash or console. Especially if she's going to share custody, you may have lost a wife but you still have THREE BEAUTIFUL reasons to keep it together.

They need you more than ever. I promise. God Damn I promise you they need you. And don't talk bad about their mama. Just be Daddy.

She’s agreed to joint custody


Rule 1: never ever under any circumstances bash those kids mom in front of them. Ever. Be better than that. They’ll respect you for it.

Also,

She decided to take half your bank account and your kids and leave one day.

You trust her to honor that custody arrangement?

Buy your oldest a phone and make sure he/she knows to call you if mommy puts them in a car.

Was it a total blindside to you?


Total blindside. We had issues like every other couple. She just couldn’t do it anymore. I hired a PI and can say for certain there is no other guy in the picture.

She graduated with her master’s degree two weeks ago (something my parents paid for out of love), and the she was gone.

When you find that person I'll show you someone that the wife died suddenly before lawyers were placed on retainers.

I got divorced 20 years ago. Never had a hiccup, she dumped me on my arse, I moved on and just forgot she was alive. We raised a daughter together who turned out great. So something wonderful did come out of our bullshite.

Yeah, happens all the time. You will be fine. Just get through all the initial B.S. That's the hardest part.

I have a friend who got $10 million in a business sale, and four years later he divorced his wife. You have to want out badly to sacrifice $5 million.


Didn't Coach O file for divorce after signing that $42 million contract? He wanted out bad.

WTF did you do? Unless crazy, most married women with 3 kids don’t bolt like that.

How did a moving truck show up and unload your house and leave with your kids and you have absolutely no idea?

If my wife had a moving truck pull up and start loading furniture none of my neighbors would go further than asking her what’s up. Any story she told them would suffice.

I’m sorry man. Go see a good counselor. For a long time. Were there signs you just didn’t see? Maybe. Or maybe you grew into different people and she just didn’t tell you how miserable she was.

Either way, unless you were legit abusive, it’s pretty bad form for her to handle it like she did. Sorry you’re going through it.
