I know I can't get full custody, plus girls need a mom. If I boot her out of the house then she moves away and I can't see the girls daily. My girls are my life and it would kill me to not be able to see them every day.


And to Dartworth. I still have plenty of $ in stock that is in my name only. I will do just fine.

Please stop posting legal advice.

Does she become a tenant if she lives in the house for longer than a certain time? I thought I read something like that in some other threads but can't be sure.

You two will be like the last two Jews left in Afghanistan, living in the same house, both refusing to leave to spite the other, feuding until one of you two dies. :(

edit: that last part isn't me trying to be racist. I read an article somewhere about two guys who lived on the grounds of a synagogue in Afghanistan who hated each other's guts. They both claimed to be the proper owner of the synagogue and refused to leave. One of them died eventually.

I don't understand. Do you think your girls are better off w/ her than you? why? and how do you know you can't get full custody???

Because he's a male? That'd be my guess

I agree. Why didn't you see this coming? Were there any warning signs? Did you suspect anything? Were you two happy? It seems very suspicious that you wouldn't at least suspect that something might be going on. What reason did she give?

You made the right choice getting a lawyer, but definitely follow their advice as opposed to anything said here.

Shouldn't matter as the standard is the best interest of the child. I agree there is some bias against husbands/dads but it sounds like OP is in a better financial situation than mom/wife which should be enough to tip the scales in his favor with the right lawyer ;)

Yup!

That what women do, but it is our job to stay the course and maybe the daughter would figure it out when she is old enough to think for herself. Both men & women have the ability to shoot themselves in the foot.

Maybe. Or it could just means he gets to pay more child support.

Anyway, I defer to the late, great Kanye West on all relationship matters.

BINGO....and forget about any feelings you once had for her. She is the enemy and has already proven she will fuck you hard if the opportunity is available. Go to the lawyer ASAP. Get a list of the top divorce lawyers in town and GO SEE THEM ALL so she cannot use any of them. Then you need to hit her as hard as your lawyer thinks is possible. Do not give her anything you are not required by law.

This stuff pisses me off so much. Sometimes I'm embarrased by my gender. <sigh>

Sorry to hear about this, OP. I hope your kids are ok! How old are they?

Heh, when my dad divorced my mom he also let her stay in the house for the sake of me and my siblings. When he got custody of my siblings he still wasn't able to move back into the house with us. Now me and my siblings are 18+, moved out, and he still doesnt have the house back or any of the money he generously gave her to support us. It was a terrible idea, if there is one thing he would undo it would have been that agreement. Don't let her have ANYTHING. Its a trap!

Are you sure letting her stay in the house isn't going to make it harder to eventually get it back? Make sure you discuss that with your lawyer, and make sure he knows what he's talking about.

Good luck.

Go get a good lawyer, don't tell her you got a lawyer, apply for full custody, et cetera. If the laws really are allowing you to keep most of the finances, then you have better ability to provide for the children. As for girls need a mother, they need a father too. Don't let your wife take your children away.

"She tells me we don't need a lawyer to divided the other stuff (boat, motor-home, 4-wheelers, etc) we will just do it on our own."

ALERT!!

That statements is translated as:

"I'm gonna get a lawyer to clean out your ass. It will be much easier for me if you choose not to get a lawyer". While it seems you have already spoken to one, you should get much more proactive with a good lawyer immediately and get all the facts straight. This will get ugly.

I hope for the sake of your kids that it stays civil.
