Divorce

Some great advise already

My daughter was 2 when her mother told me she wanted a divorce. I thought things were going well and then this.

It was not pretty, she got physical custody, 60% of proceeds from the sale of the house, most all the stuff in the house and the 74 Duster.

I got my boat, 72 Challenger, 71 Cuda convertible and my truck, plus my clothes

I never talked bad about ex in front of Carlee

I put her to bed every night I had her ( one night had a date and left her with mom for the night and had to go back home and put her to bed before I could finsih the date)

Lawyer told me to give her the stuff, it was just stuff and I would get more and she would end up with nothing, that is true in my case

2 years later I got custody of my daughter

Spend as much time as you can with her. Whatever visitation you get make sure you are there every time, on time ( my ex had visitation once I got custody and was to come and get her and she would be so disappointed when she didn't show or call)

If you have the time off work and would like to spend more time with her call and ask if it is OK

When you don't want it makes it really bad. I hope you can be civil with the wife/ex. It is in the best interest of your child. If you can talk to her and agree on how things need to be handled with your daughter would be best, if not bite your tongue, agree with her if she (ex) is arguing with you (she will hate that)

my daughter is 26, I hardly ever see her now, she grew up and was well cared for and had the opportunity to succeed

her mother has lost her house, spent time in jail, guess my lawyer was right

hang in there,

OH bad advise, to get another one under you, stay away from the drinking and other women for a while

It took me many years to understand you can have women friends someone you spend time with but that is all.

I think a bitter divorce can make you a better person

or a bitter cruel SOB

it is your choice

Take care of your daughter she is #1

Take care of yourself, do as much to support your daughter as you can, not just court ordered. Be there for school events, special times for her

good luck
