Respectfully request advice as newly divorced dad

I'm sorry this happened to you. I don't think anyone goes into a marriage thinking it won't last.

I was active duty Air Force when my wife started screwing around and then moved out. We had a 6 year old son. I told her we could fight it out in court and give all our money to attorneys or she could give me full custody. To my amazement she said "you can have him". I was a single parent for 4 years. THE HARDEST job you'll ever love!

I never asked her for a penny and after transferring to another state, I paid for him to fly to visit her every summer.

As said above, never talk bad about her mother, don't raise your voice while talking with her. Get in touch with an attorney. I also wanted everything done quickly and most attorneys like to drag **** out so they make more money. I had to stay on top of them and be a pest so they would want me gone.

It pains me to hear about this anytime there are kids involved. Just remember that kids want both parents and live your life for your daughter. It will turn out well.

My son is now 31 years old, has a 3 year old daughter, and a fantastic wife and marriage.
