We�ve filed for divorce, We separated our assets, I took her off medical insurance, car insurance, we're both getting evicted from the house, am packed up ready to move into an apt. in a few weeks, days actually. Just waiting for the carpet to get stretched.

She recently lost her job (that she just started) cos she has no car (we have one car which is mine).I was letting her use the car till I found out she was talking to her lover, again. We�re both at the house right now. I told her when I move out I am cutting the power since I need to turn on power at the apt. but she says she has no where to go-no money and no job. Her mother lives in town but my Ex wont go there cos her grandfather won�t allow it?? Can�t figure this one out but I think it�s all a bunch of bull. Her lover is a felon, does all sorts of drugs, no job, lives with he�s sister who�s under section 8 so she can�t go leave w him. In fact she doesn�t want to go live w him cos of he's drug habits. Go figure!

Good lord when will you shine the light on me???

Holiday I hope you are getting some really good legal advice and have taken steps to protect your assets and income. A judge could award your WW maintenance, require you to pay her legal and medical bills and regard the car and furniture as marital and that's just for starters.

Best of luck to you by the way. It is a miserable time.

You are much kinder than me. There's NO WAY I would let my POS stay in the same home as me and continue with his lover. And, the electricity? Tough crap.

She chose to be a wayward, let her AP take care of her.

You move on and have a wonderful life. Sounds like from your brief paragraph above that you mainly have your ducks in a row.

My two cents...........

getting legal advice to protect my assets and income has crossed my mind. On the flip side, i dont know how and any judge would make me pay her a dime for anything. For starters, we're already divorced-doesnt that mean i have no obligation to her like she has no obligation to me? She had no job when we filed, she didnt present her financial issues then. 2ndly, she has a Lover, regardless of he's situation,he should be providing for her. She applied for Welfare and got denied. something to do with her still living in the same house as me.
I dont know much about the Law, as twisted as it can be, but am confident she cant come after me now.


its a waiting game now b4 the apt. is ready but am just so over this whole thing am ready to start moving now

If you are already divorced and there is a Final Decree, then she cannot reopen the division of assets.

Well, which is it? Filed for divorce or actually divorced? If you are already divorced and about to move to your own apartment, why are you asking when it's gonna end?

The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

If she needs to live on the streets to realize the mistake she made, so be it. Sometimes people do not learn until they hit rock bottom. The most loving thing you can do then is to help them hit rock bottom as fast as they can.

God kicked us out of the Garden instead of us thinking it was OK what we did. Tough love sometimes is the only love. Kick her to the curb.
