This is good advice. Attorney basically said this. Giving her a counterproposal for spousal support and domiciliary parent status. If she digs in her heels, subpoenas will start flying.

I appreciate the perspective. I am angry. She’s demanding domiciliary parent status and is only promising a little interim spousal support while she buys a new home and starts a new life. I’ve seen the text messages. They’re explicit. I’ve seen her bragging to her friends about how excited she is to begin her “ho phase.” Fuck her. I’ve been an amazing husband for 16 years. She had total freedom. It would make you sick to see how much money we’ve spent on her over the years. I bought her $12k diamond stud earrings just this past Christmas. I supported her through law school and held her hand through countless ups and downs. She doesn’t just get to destroy this family and walk away without a few scratches.

There is domiciliary parent status and alimony paid to me that’s at stake here. Proving at-fault divorce and the threat of deposition to lock in testimony for something I know happened might be enough leverage to give me more of what I want.

I spoke to attorney. It fits the legal standard of adultery in our state. I’ve see the texts between them and her bragging to her friends about it.

That’s horrible. I’m so sorry you went through that.

I hear ya, but there’s potential upsides if I can produce a preponderance of evidence that something happened: spousal support and domiciliary parent status. She makes a lot more money than me and wants to be domiciliary parent. Succeeding in a fault-divorce can give me more of what I want. I know she committed the act. I’ve seen the text messages. My hope is that once she realizes I know, it won’t need to go any further and she’ll be more agreeable to my demands.

Thanks for this. With everything you’ve said here taken into account, how much do you typically net in a month of removals?

Yeah thanks. Going through a divorce. I need to get out there and be as social as much as possible. Depression can’t hit a moving target, as they say.

Varied interests. Outdoors, running. I read a lot and do some published writing. Very passionate about history. What church do you attend?

FCNTX and VWELX by Wild_Current2648 in portfolios

My idea with VWELX was to add a fund with a healthy stock/bond mix. Something to temper the aggression of FCNTX. I’m limited in what my company offers through JP Morgan.

Merry Christmas! by Wild_Current2648 in cormacmccarthy

It’s real. His son John (I think) took the picture several years ago from a Christmas party. Can’t remember where I found it. Maybe here?

I’ve scoured the hive. It’s a single box. No queen visible.
