Mediation Monday

[CombatRollParticipant 2594]

It’s show time.

We head to mediation to run up more legal bills. The Selfish One will lie, cry and pout and try and play the victim, but my fem lawyer has seen through her bulls~~~ and is salivating like a pit bull to get at the Selfish One’s throat.

I rec’d word Friday that ALIMONY is OUT! Thank you, Jesus! I busted the Selfish One screwing around after I moved out and in this state that makes her “Statutorily Banned” from receiving alimony. That saved me about $600/month for the rest of her miserable life.

S.O. has not obeyed the temporary relief agreement, has forged by name on financial documents and has been an overall lying sack of s~~~.

Wish me luck fellas.

I have to keep my cool tomorrow. Frankly knowing I won’t be paying alimony makes keeping my composure much easier.

You usually are in separate rooms with the mediator going back and forth with proposals. Sounds like your wife is greedy like my ex. The settlement is completely voluntary, nothing is forced on you or her. We couldn’t settle so it took another eight months for her to embrace reality and take what is fair, accounting to the court. It was within $10,000 of what I offered her in mediation and she spent more that than on legal fees. No children so that made it simpler.

I ain't got a wife to spend my money, I have to do that all by myself.

Pls, correct me if I get this wrong…..
You already played the stupid meat-hole into thinking you would still pay all the bills AND pay support?

Did meat-cavern pull some court s~~~?

Stay Calm
keep your mind sharp.
and the ammo dry.
I fear she might pull some s~~~ involving your daughter – “the” chink in your armor?

Good luck, CR!

May the smacks go down in your favor!

Good luck, Bro.

No alimony is a biggie.

I couldn’t imagine having to pay a c~~~ money for doing absolutely nothing.

I’d be physically sick every day.

Good luck brother. I hope you get a fair deal in this. I am awaiting my day in court as well.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

Sounds like your peach is just as greedy and stupid as mine. Wasting money to settle for what we would have settled for anyway. I’ve told her that 30 times.

This is a money grab for these damn lawyers. I didn’t know we were in separate rooms. That takes some fun out of it.

Nice doing so far, much better than most divorces. What’s agreement with your lawyer? 20% of everything she can squeeze for you above 50% is hers? Women lawyers can be absolutely vicious under such conditions, especially to other women 😉

Hey dude,
just to say i keep you on my mind today.

[CombatRollParticipant 2594]

Whew. That was painful.

5 hours of “negotiations”.

The mediator was a douche bag – biased towards the Selfish One at first, but even he saw how worthless she was after 5 hours of dealing with her ass!

Long story short: I came out better than expected.

Sure – she is getting 50% of all the assets. My victories are as follows:

I’m buying her out of the house and she agreed to the value of the home being what we bought it for 12 years ago and the market is soaring where I am.

She didn’t even ask for half my pension! My lawyer whispered that was bordering on “malpractice”. That is huge for me.

I’m getting off pretty light on child support b/c the Selfish One makes good money (she’s just never had to use it for bills – this will be a wake up call for her).

While we were waiting my fem lawyer read off the bank statements of what my STBX spends her money on and making fun of her. “Damn, she really likes the juice bar – she goes every other day $14 bucks? How many is she buying?”. “Nails and massages.. oh my”.

I know I’m giving up a s~~~ ton of my hard earned assets, but I still feel I got the better of her. I will rebuild and make up these losses. And most importantly, I’m free of this bitch and won’t have her dragging me down.

Cheers – I’m having a drink.

Congratulations. You’ve been fortunate that the Selfish One is so clueless and that your female lawyer is a shark.

Of course, if you had never married in the first place you wouldn’t be losing a dime.

That’s real lesson here. It’s what our younger brothers need to take away from threads like these.

Extending congratulations when a brother going through a divorce isn’t financially disemboweled for decades is like extending congratulations when a brother “only” breaks a few ribs and gets concussed in an accident of their own devising.

Going your own way means choosing to be be proactive. It means avoiding the traps you see engulfing men all around you. While we should celebrate when a man isn’t destroyed, we should celebrate even more when a man isn’t trapped to begin with.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

You took a hit that was not too bad.
But what was said and agreed upon can still be changed – not in the clear yet.
The sword of Damocles might hang over your head for the rest of your life.
Keep the pension for yourself, buy her out and (as soon as child support ends) Run to be never heard of again.

yea, not gonna happen… the daughter.
