SnapCracklePop Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 My W and I have decided to separate. MC became ineffective, and we were just getting more frustrated with each other. So far, things are 'friendly'. Is keeping things amicable really possible? We are also hoping to avoid huge legal expenses. Any advice for me on how to proceed? Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzie60 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The fact that you are both in good terms about the separation is good.. that way you can avoid financial mess over the divorce. I don't really have any advices... in my case, it's been over 12 years and I just left.. didn't ask for anything.. never touched his pension or even his investments.. I just wanted to leave.. then when we sold the house I wanted half... I was good to him.. Link to post Share on other sites
Author SnapCracklePop Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks Lizzie Its been a tough couple of weeks. I kind of shut out most of my friends for a while as I have been dealing with this latest development. My head has been spinning thinking about all the logistics... the finding a new place that is within budget and will be big enough for me and the kids. All the accounts I have to make changes to, things I have to buy to setup a new place. In some strange way, its kind of exciting... but it is also daunting, upsetting, and frustrating at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
Lizzie60 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yes I can understand.. btdt.. but the main thing is to take your time.. Don't rush into finding a place that is not suitable for you and the kids.. Take the time to 'separate' like responsible parents.. You can write some kind of 'plan' ... find a place big enough for you and the kids.. you can always find used furniture to start with.. It's not easy.. good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
