If it makes you feel better in my limited opinion men do better here than they probably deserve.

1) What she wants and gets aren’t the same thing, my humble non legal no binding advice since I don’t know or represent you etc, if take deep breath, try to lay low, don’t piss her off and let her chill a bit, hopefully she will meet someone or move on and want less out of you.

The calm reasonable patience person usually prevails in litigation and in life my friend. As my great Uncle Edwin Edwards said many years ago when they finally got him, There is an old Chinese proverb: “If you wait by the river long enough the body of you enemy will float by.”

No kidding. Already spent 1200.00. Just talking on the phone and her(my lawyer) answering emails.




Fire that bitch now. That's absurd greedy bullshite for family lawyers.

There are tons of family lawyers who'll take a flat fee, paid in installments, especially since you don't have kids. Use Facebook groups and such to search for an affordable but effective family lawyer in your area. Social Media is great for this.

Threaten to make her cash out the pension. You're entitled to half of every contribution she's made since marriage. NOBODY wants that tax hit and penalty.

She also has a very nice pension


Demand 1/2 of her pension since she wants half of your business income.

Why are lawyers and plumbers so damned expensive?

I can answer the plumbing part. The cost of the materials is fricking outrageous. Even buying wholesale it's ridiculous.

I’m a lawyer but I rarely handle divorces, so I have no advice.

I’ll bill you for this post.

Giving some legal advice about divorce?


I am not an attorney and the information provided to you within this message is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Unless there is physical, sexual, or drug abuse, complete disrespectfulness, or adultery, my advice to you is to stay with the marriage. Work through your own counselor first. Ask her to work through her own. And then come together to work together with another counselor as a couple. There is a reason why the two of you decided to marry one another in the first place. Go back and find this reason, after you work on yourself.

If you don't want to do this, or she doesn't want to do this --- and give it plenty of time, then reach out to an attorney. But keep in mind, attorneys, while some are great, they are in it to drag it out. Billable hours. Disagreement increases your bill. And no one wins in divorce, especially if children are involved.

I liked my attorney. She protected me (her words), but caused more damage in the process with my former wife. I listened to my attorney's advice because she said that's what you are paying me for. I get it, I do and I did it, because she was right. But in the end, I don't feel her advice was the best for me and my situation as it caused a lot of hurt and pain towards my former spouse that I didn't intend to cause.

My point in all of this is to focus on yourself, first and foremost, then the marriage. And if and only if that doesn't work out, go see an attorney or three. Find one that you like and "trust as best as you can."

Why are you quitting each other?


If one person decides to quit, there's not much the other person can do.

People don't generally leave something unless what they think they are going to is better (in their minds). It may be. Or it may not be. Most people are trying to "find happiness" but happiness is a fleeting feeling until you find happiness internally. Happiness starts and ends with each of us. Why put the burden of "happiness" on someone else? That is awfully big shoes to fill.

50 % in the marriage will never equal 100 %. If only one partner is wanting it to work, the only thing they can do is work on themselves to become a better version of themselves. Maybe the other spouse will come back around. Maybe they won't, but either way, the partner that wanted to stay will be a better person because of what they have done --- working on themselves.
