Takes a year.

Longer if your ex is a shitty lawyer and fricks up the filing. Ended up finding out I was still married a year after it was supposed to be final. Got really fricked on the property settlement because of that.

ETA get a good lawyer.

This is not a divorce but a business transaction. You should get a good lawyer immediately and begin protecting assets. Any gift you gave her isn't community property! So jewelry, purses, heels are all hers. Anything she gave you as a gift is yours. Be prepared to buy her out of the house if you want it. With interest rates rising that is going to suck to refi. Get a lawyer!

It does get better. My divorce was 9 years ago. Thought my life was over. I went through some really dark times. Friends, many of them from this site, helped pull me through. Now I am remarried, finished my degree, make 4 times what I did when I was divorced, and own a 120 acre farm. Focus on you and making yourself the best person you can be and you’ll pull through just fine.

Kids involved?


Yeah, and they're my world.

Get along with the ex
I wouldn’t remarry, stepmoms aren’t as nice as stepdads. Hence jealous of your kids from the other woman.

In La I think you have to be filed and separated before it’s not adultery.

If you don’t already have one, find a hobby.

Also, a wise man once told me you should lift, bjj, and have great cardio. My life has never been the same.

Learning to get along and be a good coparent with your ex is key.


Makes things soooooooo much easier when you are on the same page and get along and can work together.

They all are. The worst part of the divorce process and after-life is seeing your kids 50% of the rest of their childhood at best. The best thing you can hope for is a co-parenting relationship with their mother that allows the children to spend as much time as possible with the both of you. The quicker both parties realize the children come first, the better off all parties will be.

Once you get past the custody arrangements, it is time to rebuild you. Break yourself down to the smallest parts and reboot. You can always make more money, find another woman, new friends, etc. None of that is possible without knowing who you are and what it is you truly need for your happiness. You will ultimately find that the kids need both of their parents happy much more than seeing both of their parents miserable their entire childhood.

It certainly is not the life you envisioned bringing them into this world, but things get easier over time. Find your happiness and live like there is no tomorrow.

Facts only, and if those don't work, get a dog that will lick your taint.

According to that same wise man, of course

its kind of weird. You can go a couple ways with this.
1. Completely destroys you immediately and then you fully recover and live your best life
2. You live your best life, not realizing that its slowly destroyed you. Then you crash and burn. Then live your best life
I dont know what option 3 is

10 for me, but all the rest is spot on. Your baws are here for you. We’ve been there and know the ups and downs.
