OKAY!


SO stbx is a maniuplative jerk....he has some how convinced me if we go to litigation we will be destitute. In talking to my famliy lawyer he says he has seen it happen.... not sure what our outcome could be, but if it were to get ugly I would get child support and little alimony. I swear my stbx has been hiding funds but not sure how to discover on my own. All I want is to stay home with my two small kids until they get to school. I know I will never have a "career" but I will have to balance kids and bills..... while he sits ina new lake home with a big fat company.


What do I do for work and can I ever get over the abuse and betrayal?


ugh!

Memphis,


Sounds like the STBX is trying to intimidate you again. It's time to learn a few things to protect yourself during this transitional time. So here's my "Pep talk" for you:


1)You don't tell you STBX that you're going to get a lawyer. You just do.


2)You don't discuss with your STBX what you discuss with your lawyer. That's between you and your lawyer.


3)Remember you have the right to seek legal counsel. It's not just the smart thing to do; it's necessary. Unless you are an experienced divorce attorney,
