Good luck SR

I will place this months salary on the other man getting cold feet, then ignoring her and ending it

She will then feel lost lonely and rejected, just as you have accepted it and are moving on, she will then beg you back....Dont go there (I have in past)

Good luck again tis a tough situation

Nice assumptions.

I don't pay child maintenance because I have agreed 50/50 custody, and on the balance of the year have my child more than my ex wife. She wants for nothing, especially my time.

I don't pay my ex wife maintenance as she got half the house, and earns parity with me.
Good for you.

I read when I was going for 50/50 shared care of my own kids, that in legal jurisdictions where 50/50 is now automatically assumed by the courts, [predominantly female-initiated] divorce rates have plummeted. I know my ex was a total wreck over 'missing the kids' when I had them most of the time. They are all too happy to trash a family and leave the father having every other weekend, but 'only' having the kids half the time sends many of them into despair.

I know its the Wail, but this is interesting

Not paying maintenance for your children is nothing to be proud of. I remember that my dad was a very wealthy man owning his own accountancy firm, pay very little to my mum. We struggled when he could clearly have done more. His explanation was that if she was struggling she should have given us up. I just remember thinking that he really did not care about us at all. To make things worse he decided to put us in posh schools but would not buy us the uniforms and eventually stopped paying the fees. So we had everything second hand, it was awful. We had a great education but I just remember as a child not understanding my dad.

I was in same situation, parent split my father was wealthy but my mum was left with 3 under 4 years old so couldn't work, my dad did paid maintenance but not enough (this was before CSA). I was always confused why we struggled, we had second hand cloths, a day out was being taken to the carpet shop to use there ball pool, getting exited over a second hand football top from a jumble sale, yet when I visited my dad he had this big house, new Mercs every year etc. On reflection now as an adult I can see it created issues for me long term and same issue as the poster I never really understood my dad and to this day I still wonder why he didn't help more when he could of, living 2 such extremes poor and wealthy is very confusing.

Tonks,

You know better than that. FFS leave it in trust for the lad. At least that way it will be spent on him not her new bloke/bird.

A note of caution, don't go featherings your offsprings nest whilst still married in the event of your death.

I did, my wife found out and that was the final nail in the coffin.

Cut up her credit cards
Get hold of the finances, especially bank accounts
Get all your financial records together
Get a brief
Don't believe a word out of her mouth
She's moved on
Read up on wikivorce.com

I'd bet the house she's met this guy several times
Mediation is good
It would save you a fortune.

Good luck

Not read a lot of the posts in this thread but just wanted to comment and say I hope everyone who is going through a tough time comes out the other side. Its not a nice place to be i know.

I got divorced last year, my (now ex) husband had an affair with someone he worked with and felt it appropriate to text me to tell me! He left, left me to deal with sorting the house and finances out etc. Just very lucky we had no children (just the 2 cats that I kept) and the house was rented!

Really feel for you with families, makes it so much harder.

Complete turn around today

Long story short, I'm having issues getting housing through work, so I told the ex, asked her to move out and I'll take full custody, parental responsibility, and financial responsibility for the household. She agreed!!

It's not a permanent solution, but in the short to medium term, it works.

It gives me the breathing space to get back on track and move forward. She will need to find somewhere in the local area to be near the kids, but by me staying in the house, It changes my eligibility criteria for housing through work. If I can then get a new place then we can look at either her moving back in and taking over the mortgage, selling up, or just letting the place out as a shared asset.

In a much better place in my head now, I think a bit of attention from POF and tinder might be helping wink

Are you military mate? If so, go see your local HIVE/SSAFA rep ASAP... you sound like you're getting to grips with the situation very well, but definitely let those guys/girls help.

Very well played - as I said before - mine lapped up the opprtunity for all this wonderful new childfree time with hew exciting lover. Meanwhile I was strengthening my bonds with our children, giving them stability, and also setting a precedent for shared care that invalidated any claim she may have for maintenance.

Keep this arrangement going for as long as possible - do not do anything that might rock the boat. Keep your detailed records of where they stay and with who. Most of all, enjoy spending the extra time with them and beinf close to them at a time when they need reassurance and consistency more than ever.

Personally I was not domesticated in the slighest and it was a daunting prospect keeping up with the household stuff single-handedly, but its surprising how quickly it became second nature. Now I keep a tidier house than the ex ever did!

Those 4 reasons for divorce must be the poorest ever... sharing facebook page???

Why cant she just say she was unfaithful and leave it at that? I dont believe it will affect the outcome anyway.
