Soon to be ex-wife is killing me... Damn If I knew a damn divorce was so expensive, I never would of gotten married in the first place. I thought my marriage was expensive. Boy was I wrong!!! The divorce is turning out to cost me 5 times more right now.
This has been dragging for over 5 years, due to the kids pension $$$, she wanted more then I make. Guess what? Both of our lawyers were trying to compromise, and come to a fair deal based on my yearly salary. Both lawyers are used to deal with each other too, so they know each other well. And after 5 years, her lawyer told mine she was so fed up with her, she gave her two options on this, take the deal based on my salary, and don't be greedy, or find another lawyer. So it resolved that issue.
This B.S. wasn't enough, she recently tried to force me to make her a trustee of my life insurance, wich states my mother is in charge of my kids portion of my life insurance, until they are of age. I told all of them until hell freezes over, it will never happen. Money burns in her hands, so if they all think this were to happen, screw this... . She would waste it in less than a week. So her lawyer really pushed hard to make this happen, so my lawyer gave them two choice there, either keep my mother's name as a trustee, or the life insurance would completely be canceled. Well her lawyer backed down, and decided to leave my mother as a trustee, without sonsulting her client, since my life insurance states, my GF gets half of it to help with the house, the rest goes to the kids, and the kids will receive a monthly payment, to cover my child support, until they are of age to take control of it (signed contract by my mother and me). It also states that my mother can only use this money for the kids wellfair, and prove (receipts) will be needed... .
You can bet she was pissed when she found out, but her lawyer said if you don't like it, find someone who will care. Her lawyer got to know so well, she was about to drop her, so my ex caved in. Going to sign the final papers this Fiday. And the damn thing about all of this, this will turn out exactly how it would 5 years ago... But the biatch had to just play hard ball just to waste time and $$$$.
This being said, a damn divorce is epensive as hell... . I'll get a final bill this coming week, since I've been giving him money in advance, I know there ain't nothing left. The way he works is, he takes about $1 000 a shot, and leaves it in his account, and uses what he needs as this drags on, then when you run, he calls you for another $1 000, and you get the picture. He called me up 8 times already, to tell me I was out. So do the math. I had to borrow some damn $$$ for this too, so even once this is resolved, I'll be paying my damn loans... .
Piece of advise. If you can avoid a divorce, avoid it... .
