My divorce is final
| Sun, 03-25-2007 - 10:25pm |
I haven't posted here for awhile, but I use to. My divorce was finalized about a week and a half ago. I got a lot out of the divorce being a SAHM to 2 very young children and Im very relieved the divorce process is over. Im not relieved my marriage is over b/c I never wanted this, but I had no choice but to go along. But Im feeling great, starting college in the Fall and Im getting back on my feet, looking forward to bettering myself and receiving a college degree :)

Yeah, it can be kind of bittersweet.
I'm glad that it sounds like you're "happy" with the settlement and the new phase of your life.

Kate,
Wondering what state you live in. I am a sahm mom (for 6 1/2 years now) of a kindergartener and pre-schooler and I am finding no one supportive of my status (in terms on money or anything else).
I doubt I will get much money, certainly not enough to live on. The county guidelines are pretty minimal financially.
Lots of pressure to return to work and put my children in daycare. I will go back eventually, when I find the right job and the children are ready--divorce is going to really hurt them in every way.
So just curious about how you did so well and where you live that you got what you needed.

Actually, the judge was only going to give me 12 months spousal support, not veyr much $$, and child support. I really wanted to stay
Good for you landing on your feet and for your X for seeing the light regarding your children. Great example!
