When I got divorced we both went to the same lawyer. We agreed on everything, he drew up the papers, brought it to a judge in Gretna, the judge signed it, it was a done deal.

Should I act now or give her time to cool? Not sure if there is urgency in this as California seems to have a 6 month waiting period

No kids makes things a lot easier. If It’s truly amicable, I’d have the two of you get a lawyer together to handle the paperwork and make sure that what y’all agree to is in writing.

You’re never going to come out ahead in a divorce, but a no kids, amicable, non-contested divorce with minimal attorney f$&kery is about the cheapest way to do it. I went through this process in 2018/2019

If you need to talk about the emotional side of it, don’t hesitate to email me at bryndenblackfish@yahoo.com

Get it in writing. Got to a lawyer and get it put down in legal language. Don’t piss her off or let her get a lawyer involved.

Thankfully no kids or house should make it an easy split



This.

I've had a few friends go through an 'amicable' divorce and just have one attorney handle it all. That attorney can't represent either of you, but they can prepare the documents to your property settlement, etc. If you each hire an attorney, they will gladly watch you two fight to the death as they bill the shite out of you.

To be honest I am hoping she changes her mind because I still love her but not sure if there is a first person advantage when it comes to making moves in this

We separated our finances and I removed her from all my cards and vice versa. I own all cards under my name

I’d get a lawyer to get everything tidy so she can’t come back asking for anything
Get everything from here on out in writing

Well to be honest I brought it up when she quit her job to go back to school and I was paying the bills. That escalated

If that’s really what did it, y’all weren’t too solid in the first place.

That sounds like a personal question.

I know Louisiana (I realize odd laws here) want you separated a while. Separated means like moved out, got apartment etc.

I'm just saying document EVERYTHING. Women change at drop of a hat. They go from reasonable to crazy.

My boy got fricked out of $60k because he didn't document shite he should have.

My brother did the same. Amicable. She agreed that she would get the home (paid off) and her car also paid off with the understanding that she would not touch his 401K/Retirement.

Kept coming back with her hands out. He finally had enough and got a lawyer 5 or so years later. He drew up some legal docs and said give her 25K to sign.

She jumped on it and blew thru it, of course.

Brother said peace of mind was worth the 25K.

Had a friend do it in his late 20’s, no kids, no home. They did it on the cheap and have never laid eyes on one another since then.
