[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a job, save money, hire a lawyer, file for divorce. Do not let on how much you are saving. Do not give him access to your bank account. Keep all info private. Document everything. Take screenshots of the sexting, including his phone number at the top if his phone shows it. Keep a lock on your phone. Hugs and good luck, OP. [/quote]

All the money is discoverable in divorce proceeds. Attempting to hide it will backfire. [/quote]

True, but she’s going to need money to pay the mortgage or get an apartment when they separate and the final child support settlement can take awhile to get worked out. In the meantime, you still need money for living expenses. [/quote]

This exchange is exactly why I said to consult with an attorney first, before anything else (except maybe the therapist). I found a lot of the “legal advice” thrown around DCUM didn’t apply to my situation when I divorced.

OP, the lawyer will ask at your first visit to list all premarital and marriage assets and debts. So a step you can do today (since you can’t call an attorney until tomorrow) is start pulling together account statements and balances, and organize them. It’s tax season; a lot of people organize their finances this time of year, so you should be able to do it fairly unnoticed.[/quote]
