[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you have children?  Did you just leave the house?  Did you continue to pay the mortgage on a house you no longer lived in AND for another place as well?  These are the handcuffs holding some men in abusive, bad marriages.  [/quote]

No Children (thank God) - it was a very short marriage.

I literally fled the house because the SHTF when I told her I wanted it over.

I did continue to pay the mortgage - because I owned the house.  I would have happily payed her moving expenses to get her out and I made plans to live somewhere else.  I figured it might take a year to get rid of her, but I got lucky and she left on her own almost immediately (and was with a new guy very shortly after that).  I would have kept paying the mortgage until the house sold, if we were both on the deed, as part of getting the divorce.

There are ways out of these "handcuffs" - children are a difficult knot, but the OP doesn't mention them - he/she (I agree OP is a man, because the "dereliction of marital duties" is something only a man would think about) is focused on BS reasons for filing.  Custody and children will be handled on the basis of what is best for the children, not the reason for the parent's divorce.  [/quote]
