[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepare to go back to work. If you get spousal support, it will likely be temporary and you will both have a lower standard of living if you do not go back to work. The norm is 50/50 custody and 50/50 of assets split during the marriage as well as debt. [b]Many men do nothing with kids until a divorce. Prepare for that.[/b] You don't have a lot of assets. That means you do not have money to have a costly legal battle fighting for little money you have. Be practical about the financial aspect. There are formulas for child support. Ask the attorney what is reasonable to expect financially in your situation. That is the most important thing to ask.[/quote] Then what do they do? Suddenly have real conversations with the kids, read the school emails, teach and coach them? Or just Disney dad it and throw money. [/quote] Where they are helpless before...they suddenly start doing everything they were incapable of before. This has happened to me and 3 other friends. Literally did not one thing before...suddenly they are capable. They choose not to be capable in marriage. They want 50/50 so they pay less or nothing...and suddenly they figure stuff out. [/quote] I have dated multiple divorced dads and this is so true. Whenever I see my married mom friends acting like their husbands are incompetent, I want to shake them and tell them, no, they’re perfectly competent, they’re just choosing not to be helpful so you’ll do everything [/quote] Yeah and? They should go fight the selfish losers to the mat and order them to grow up and be a real father and homeowner? That’ll do it? No. It’s About power and misogyny. Divorce sounds better - in those cases- since you’re out of an unbalanced resentful marriage and the kids finally see dad being an adult and not so selfish. Win win win for everyone. But in other cases “dad” continues to be incapable and incompetent. At most he will throw money at it, if he has the means. [/quote]
