What the? Pope: I am including an email my wife sent me. Keep in mind she is the one asking for the divorce and all I have done is ask to work things out. She says it's not me, she just doesn't believe in marriage or God anymore. She also says i am the best father she has ever seen. Now that I say whatever, just give me half and 50/50 custody she gets mad at ME! I haven't raised my voice, gotten angry, accused her of being insensitive or anything. I just said if you are divocing me and breaking up the family I keep the house and I will give you any equity. After we settle that I just want half of the retirement. She says I deserve maybe 25% of the money we have saved. She has been hateful and mean. Now she says I am not going to see the passive, trapped and vulnerable wife I have been seeing? Where is that person? I haven't see her yet? Wow, what do you guys make of this? Anyone else seen this?
I'm not convinced that me moving out of the house is in Blake's best interest. I'm not convinced that 50/50 custody is in Blake's best interest. I'm not convinced that staying in Arlington for the next 14 years and him going to Wimbish or Pope is in his best interest. Worst case scenario if this goes to trail...you bleed me as dry as you can (which is the path you are taking anyway, so no change there), I will most likely get awarded the house (or we sell), I will most likely get primary physical, Blake and I may/may not move closer to Dallas in an area that has exemplary public schools, I may/may not put him in private school, you will most likely get the Texas Standard, you will most likely pay child support, and we both pay thousands of dollars each to a couple of mega wealthy lawyers. This isn't a financial decision. I will do whatever I need to do to make sure Blake is being held at the top of the decision making tree while also protecting myself and my future. Uncontested is in Blake's best interest, so that is the path I'm going to pursue. However, I'm not afraid to stand up for myself and take this to the next level if need be. I plan to go visit a new attorney in Dallas later this week or early next week after I get some information together. I just thought you should know where I stand, because the passive, vulnerable, trapped attitude I've had lately is a thing of the past.
Re: What the? sourpuss: she is trying to intimidate you into caving into what SHE wants.
i can almost guarantee what she wants has nothing whatsoever to do with the best interest of your child.
she is looking out for #1 and so should you. do you have a lawyer? if not, get one.
Re: What the? wowee: I agree with sourpuss. I am on the recieving end of something very similar from my husband right now.
good luckand please - consult a lawyer
Re: What the? Pope: I got a lawyer and that was part of what freaked her out. She said she was going to serve me next week so I got one and they said they needed financial records. I asked for all the financial documents she has at work and she accused me of trying to take her to the cleaners. I never even asked for anything other than docs. Dude, she is like ice!
Re: What the? admin: See if you can do something called a, "Collaborative Divorce" in your state.
