First of all Chris, congratulations on getting it done so soon (it seems anyway). My separation with her in the house lasted almost 2 years .

Without this becoming a woman-hating rant ... I can sympathize with both you and John.

Snafu - all I can say is "pre-nup" and even then the law sucks big time when it comes to the kids anyway so you'll get screwed there regardless.

We should have a "throw-darts-at-the-ex's-picture" meeting.

Did you get atleast 40% custody Chris?

Lou



Thanks Lou, and I too feel for all of us that have gone through divorce (male or female).

As far as the custody, I have the kids almost all the time, because my ex wife works such that, they hardly saw her when she lived with us, almost never saw them after I got her to move out. As a percentage, I have them 99% of the time, though they are to be with her every other weekend, 2 weeks in the summer, blah, blah, blah. Saying that, my kids are old enough that if they choose not to go to her or with her, I don't have to force them to go, they can stay with me 100% of the time, as long as I am not the one alienating them from the mother. It's up to the kids to decide, and so far, they stay with me.

That worked out well, being able to struggle with the marriage until the kids were old enough, and I am very happy that it's done (at least I hope so).
