If she is actually willing to be amicable and agree to terms you can do everything needed on Legal Zoom. I did this for my divorce. Cost me about $300. It will walk you through step by step. Just make sure you spell out who is getting what and what needs to be refinanced in the other persons name, including who will be responsible for any credit card debt and which debt.

Yet you did. Which part you take issue with? I love a good debate, I might see a point of view I haven’t considered. I know you know how you’d respond. Generally I agree abt 40% of the time. Now focus please. [emoji1662]

Edit: I went back and read your advice. I agree 100%. Not sure what the issue is. I didn’t take any of that advice, but wish I had. Apologies, this crap gets my blood pressure up.

My fault - I meant I had no idea what to say to the comment that you responded to! Not yours.

I do family law. Divorce sucks.

did yall buy the house before you were married?

what was purchased in the last year that you were married?

are both of your names on the deed?

Only advice I’ve got is to keep your busy or else your mind will become overwhelmed and it’s not healthy.

Seriously, make yourself do something every evening and every weekend for a couple of hours to keep busy. Drinking, surfing the internet, watching TV, etc. is not what I’m talking about. Workout, chop wood, play fetch with the dog, meet up with buddies, whatever it takes to not let your mind wander.

The first few months suck but it gets better.

Go to counciling if you love her. If you have your own bank account and she has never had access to it or y’all share it in my opinion you were doomed. Marriage is a contract of trust complete trust if you did not trust her with all that she never really trusted you either. Sounds like some real simple talk and counciling could rectify things, fight the current and save your marriage, prayers sent for you both,

Myself and ALOT of my buddies who been married a long time have separate bank accounts. It is not a trust issue as me and my wife 100% trust each other.

It is more of the fact that most marriage issues result from finances.

Good advice though on the rest of it.

For sure. My wife manages her income/bank account and her share of the bills and I do the same. To me it’s easier to manage an account only one person has access to. We have a joint savings account tho. Works for us.

Good luck, OP

Whatever works for you, but it just seems strange to me. What do you do when you go to dinner? What about the grocery store? What if a kid gets sick? Do you split the bill? The more I think about it the more confusing it gets LOL

My wife works part time to give her something to do while I’m away. All bills and costs come out of my check. Her money is in her account for whatever she wants. It works very well for us. A lot of people do it. She never says a word about me buying guns or whatever.

Better half has a job and does extremely well - I do well. We have just kept our accounts as they have always been. She occasionally picks up a dinner tab, but most of the time it is just whoever has access to their money faster.

We each have a budget for spending no matter the reason. HSA covers dr bills. We can transfer money to each other instantly if needed. It’s not that difficult.
