Oh please it’s the other way around more often than not.

splitting proceeds from the marital assets?


She hasn't even reached the settlement yet. Just filed the suit.

How is that an asset if it hasn't happened yet?

Let that sink in.

Move on. This is the best thing that could have happened to you. You will be better off. She wasn’t the person you want to build a life with.



agree with all, but similar to a when a guy won't listen to his buddies when he's about to make an obvious mistake in marrying a chick, few listen to good advice when dissolving the mistake

Universal truth: women are about 10 steps ahead of men on stuff like this. What you didn’t see coming she has thinking about/planning for at least a year;


Correct, and chances are very good she has a friend that has been divorced helping her every step of the way....

Or she's having an affair with a divorced man....

Or both. Either way she has solid coaching and has likely already spent most of your combined earnings.

Universal Truth 2: once a woman has done the diligence in UT 1, there isn’t anything you can do to change the outcome, you are getting a divorce;


Correct, especially since she is financially incentivized to do so. It is a win-win for her.

OP needs to move on with life. This woman is doing you a favor and you don't realize it now.

Get over it, deal with your shortcomings, improve yourself, get in shape, and go date younger, hotter women. That's what I did. It worked out way better for me!

A lot of TD posters chose poorly when choosing a spouse.

if there's equity in the house it's an asset(liability if not,) the judge is stating up front that that asset, or liability, will be split between the parties, establishing ground rules, more or less

The house makes sense, the lawsuit for injuries she sustained in an accident, alone, doesn't.

Well here’s the problem with that statment…..
I didn’t change
I am the man I am . Was then am still today.

She changed.

As my kids told me and couple close friends
I got tricked and fooled.

The gentle kind woman she was became bitter abusive and miserable.

It didn’t start with Me.
I just don’t know any better abs when I did it was too late .

sounds like his attorney may have blown a heater by the judge on that one, depending on state law in some states injury awards and things like inheritance aren't considered marital assets unless they are co-mingled with other marital funds, have to admit I don't mind seeing the good guys sneak one in there every once in awhile

Definitely not in my right mind. I have lost 50 pounds in 6 months. I could have lost a few but I didn’t have 50 to lose. I have been trying to do everything for my kids. I have always been very involved with every aspect of their lives. The thought of only having that half of the time kills me and it’s what drives me to keep fighting for this.

All of that being said, who are some good attorneys around Baton Rouge?

Why are you so hung up on BR attorneys? There are good divorce attorneys in other cities

just googled an old friend from LSU days and he just passed away, a lot of my old frat baws are lawyers but I don't know any family law guys in BR anymore, I've been in your shoes, treat this as business decision, minimize contact/conversation with the ex, love your kids, keep your mind occupied with positive thoughts, work out and stay in shape, even though these are hard times I can without a doubt guarantee they will get better!

dude offered basically no details and you come up with this opinion. jump to conclusions much clown?


He offered enough information to make it seem like he didn't want the divorce to happen in which case it would be advisable to have someone else represent his interests. Another conclusion I've made is you're too fricking stupid to read between the lines.

Get your own attorney. She will go back on everything she has agreed on up to now - bank on it. This will get ugly. Be ready for this.


Especially once she sees you being happy again or maybe even dating someone.
