Well then, what about the “missing at sea” option? It worked in the movie (almost)…

Are you going for 50/50 custody?

Throw her a bone but done concede anything.

I petitioned to be the primary custodian and have joint custody but I told her I was willing to settle on 50/50. I also told her that she could pick the type of schedule and days.

According to her, her lawyer told her that she had no case to make for the petition she put in response to mine and that she would have to settle. Unfortunately when the court put us in front of a mediator after the first appearance, she was a stupid c~~~ and wouldn’t settle on a schedule.

I really hope she smartens up as I don’t want it to go to trial but I’m not settling for less than 50/50. F~~~ that c~~~, she basically stole the entire last year away from my life with my child just so she could get the tingles again on the carousel.

This body holding me is a reminder of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember, we are eternal and all this pain is an illusion.

Suppose I had a friend who went through a divorce. And suppose this friend was in a certain bar in Chicago, with certain other friends. And the friends of my friend propose a bar bet. How many credit cards can we get in a month? The stakes? Loser buys dinner at Benihana…12 course absolute f~~~ing blow out of a night on the town, stay at a really nice hotel, female entertainment, f~~~ around downtown, limo rental, Sears Tower, and the next day flying lessons/check ride at Meigs Field. Bar bets are so stupid.

My friend lost the bet. He picked up several hundred cards, and he lost. He says the Benehana was amazing, the chef cooks the steak at your table. The hotel in the Loop was superb, and the women made man out of these friends. He says the limo was a Rolls Royce with crystal champagne service in the back. The view from 1500 feet up was probably magnificent, but he said the flying lesson was out of this world.

So my friend kept all these credit cards. For years the credit limit was raised. Friend got married, never told his special snowflake about the credit cards. Credit limit grew and grew.

Oh and one day my friend was served with divorce papers…surprise!
but wait, the credit cards are in a safe deposit box and just suppose he had the key with him all the time…SAVED!

Oh my friend was a lucky bastard to have a safety net, because the c~~~ he married and was divorcing was a hellacious bitch. No matter how much money she spent she could not bury my friend. She had money, a lot of it, but she was spending her income, and my friend was borrowing from his future.

Suppose my friend were here today. He would probably tell you that he was extremely lucky in his divorce case. He might even tell you parts of the procedure were extremely sloppy and stipulation is a double edged sword. My friend would also tell you not to try this at home. What he did is extremely risky. Do not do what my friend did.

My friend is an absolute idiot for living the way he does. But he did his homework, and found a sweet spot between just enough to live on, and not having to pay alimony, medical and college expenses.

My friend told me of 100 ways to live cheaply and work the system, things that came in handy for my own divorce. I can’t thank my friend enough for showing me the way, and worry about s~~~ later. I’m looking forward to seeing my friend again in better days.

The problem is the cupcake.

You can get what you want as long as you’re willing to pay the price.

The price will rise and rise. Where it ends depends on you.

be as civil as possible with the ex.

This can’t be overstated. This saved my ass with my starter wife. She literally had enough resources to have me chopped into little pieces and buried in states starting with vowels; if I had gotten stupid.

Because I was civil we were able to reach a reasonable agreement via a promissory note. We essentially opted for a lawyer we both knew and trusted to take us through mediation (we were not legally married but had over $100,000 in shared assets including property).

I was lucky no kids were involved, but civility is even more important when kids are involved.

I wrote my checks for five years and that was that. Through it all I maintained civility, even though inside I was broken and hurt from the betrayal. It wasn’t easy, but necessary.

So, just like those penguins; keep it cute and cuddly.

Brother,

Retaining an attorney was the worst decision of my life. I spent almost fifteen thousand dollars for nothing. They did much harm and little good. You will likely get screwed sadly. Pay the daddy welfare, don’t make a rotten lawyer rich, get vasectomy, and never do this again. The process is rigged against us on purpose.
