Avatar m tn I need to share my story and hopefully get some suggestions and support and wisdom out there. I recently turned 50. I my early 40's I suffered a series of losses in a short period of time - lost my dad, my mom, best friend from college, my sister had three brain tumors (3 separate operations and survived) my father in law, miscarriage, financial, etc. I never grieved all these losses, just pushed it inside so I could function. I wound up drinking to get thru the pain and became alcoholic.
Avatar m tn Hi Gang - hope your not tired of me cause I'm tired of myself. Heard alot of things here am desperately trying to adhere to. It has been about 10 months now and I still get over the eevnts )seperation/divorce and all the ramifications that go along with it. I never wanted this and being the recipient of the divorce makes it so much harder. I am deperessed and lack confidence. It doesn't seem to get better, I try to trick myself sometimes, but it doesn't always work.
Avatar f tn It's never easy but can be done. If Ur in an abussive relationship get out ASAP!! 1st for Ur safety, 2- for Ur babies safety. It is unfair & unhealthy for U & Ur child. Ur husband/boyfriend cannot take Ur child away fr U (whether U work or not). U have to be an unfit mother by being very neglectful or by using drugs. U don't necessarily need an atty, call the court they can help (there usually is a court clinic that works w people).
2074425 tn?1339178443 In Nevada child support is 18% for 1 child and goes to 24% for 2 children. Now that is based off gross income not what he brings home. If the filing was strictly for divorce then that's all the judge would handle. If he wants partial custody/visitation with the children then he would have to file for that. In which the filing has to take place in the state of which the children live. I hope this is of some help to you. Also yes he can do court by phone if he is unable to make the hearing.
Avatar f tn I hope it all gets better for you too!! Keep strong ... i will pray for you too!! Wow just to think we are in the exact same situation ...
Avatar f tn Is that why he was just separated for so long (hopefully not to get out of child support)--- because he still had access to his kids? Are you ready for them to come and live with you or visit? Why would he consider moving to Germany when he has two children? That would REALLY make me mad at his suggestion of that. Is he trying to get out of child support by going to another country?
Avatar f tn oh I'm addicted to VICODIN and it ***** the big one!!! and I actually have no one I just got divorced from a hell of a guy ya he really was an *** very controlling manipulative and honestly no love there couldn't turn to him if my house was on fire and I have custody of my daughter tells ya a little about him.
Avatar f tn The consult usually costs about $250. If her husband was the bread winner an attorney can file for some support until the divorce is final. Also will be able to tell her if they can make the husband pay her attorney fees. It would probably be worth it just to get some initial advise. When children are involved it's almost impossible to do it without legal advise.
10707428 tn?1415569790 My husband kicked me out yesterday. He said he wants a divorce because he doesnt love me anymore. This is all so sudden, and a shock to me, because i thought we had a great marriage. My question is, i want to move outside the country, im 7 months. My question is can i fly on plane across the ocean when im 7 months? Can he sue me for kidnapping his child even though he's not born yet?

Avatar f tn We found out Dec 2 we are expecting. I am now 5w 1d. We have not told our families yet as I want to wait till after doctors appointment. However I am nervous to tell due to the fact we just got DNA results on his child from previous relationship and dealing with court for visitation and I'm still going through a divorce. The kids will be year and five months apart. Nervous to also go from no kids to a matter of two in less than a year.
Avatar f tn If you did pursue a divorce, you will most likely stll get the benefit of depending on his salary in the form of alimony (support for you) and child support (for the kids). They are two separate financial obligations that he is legally bound to make. I am not one to recommend divorce, so that's not the route I'm suggesting you take. I just wanted to point out that if your circumstances led to divorce, you have the potential, with the right divorce lawyer, to still depend on his salary.
1530342 tn?1405016490 By Jen Heger Radar Legal Editor Arnold Schwarzenegger is paying child support to his estranged wife, Maria Shriver, even though the couple has yet to iron out any kind of financial agreement, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Avatar f tn My mom had my dad on child support it definitely came in handy for school trips and things I wanted when my mom had to pay the bills .... Its always a plus my father was barely around I would definitely say go for the child support you won't regret it ...
Avatar f tn Thanks for your post -- your issue seems actually to be less about dealing with your kids' anger at your rules, and more about the lack of support you feel from your spouse for the enforcement of the rules. I think the place to start is to speak to your husband about why you feel it is necessary to have the rules you have, why his lack of support of those rules is a lack of support of you, and why he is so worried about conflict.
Avatar n tn I recommend the book Difficult Questions Kids Ask and Are Afraid to Ask About Divorce by Dr. Meg Schneide. This is the best guide to helping kids through divorce I have found to date. You can also help your child adjust by seeking the help of a psychologist or counselor who specializes in young children. Some play therapy and parenting help can make the transition smoother and help you stay attuned to your little ones needs.
Avatar f tn If i was in your pistion I probably wouldve knocked him flat on his a$$ for saying I chose for him to treat me this way...I also hope you have support from family and friends...Best of Luck.
Avatar n tn 2 days pregnant with my second son and I have a 16 month old. My husband just told me that he wants to file for divorce again (we went down this route nearly a year ago) and I think it's definite this time. I'm having a hard time with trying to be okay because he's choosing the worse time to do this, but I'm trying. I was wondering if there are any other moms out there who have had this experience before and what they did to try and just keep positive.
Avatar f tn He wasn't my husband and we don't have other kids but my child's father left me for his ex About 2 months ago. It *****. I just try to focus on my baby and realize that if he wanted to leave I could do nothing but keep it moving.
Avatar f tn Thank for for that message. I am tryin to move back home down south with my family. So that me and the kids are safe and happy. And I pray that the guy I'm with now that knows all I been. Threw cause him and his mom seen it all. That he dosent change. He is a wondeerful guy who cares a lot about me and the kids.
Avatar f tn During an argument with my husband he said he will move out of state and not be in my child's life. I'm 30 weeks pregnant. I have recently calmly asked him if he meant it and he said yes. He does not want drama and thinks that I will turn our child against him. That is a complete lie I have never once said anything degrading humiliating or hurtful about my husband to anyone no matter how angry I was or hurt.
Avatar f tn You have to sort through all the details and figure out the best thing for you and the kids! I do agree yall being married and having kids theres no excuse for going clubbing thats rediculous at least not like that! I stayed with my BF cus im pg also and it just didnt work so dont stay for that!! If you re not happy and your son hes obviously having problems I would at least separate and think things over and take your boy to counseling and if your hubby is interested him too!
Avatar m tn It would be a help to your daughter to arrange therapy for her as a support in the face of this difficluty change in the family.
Avatar f tn O don't have anyone. My mother left when I was 16 and my father passed 4 years ago. No one will takeus.
Avatar f tn you are going to need the support and comfort...is there any way you can put some stuff in storage and go back for it at a later date i have moved out of state 2x in the last 2 years and i know its expensive....i have finangled every short cut i could and when i had to move back to pa in a quick hurry (my dads health was in jeopardy) i moved my stuff to storage until my family could go back and help me move it....just a suggestion moving is never fun but neither is divorce....
