when you got divorced WHO and HOW much did you get taken for?.... whats your bad story?

Humm don't have one we sold the house split the money he took what he had before we got married I took the rest.

Never been divorced but I know people who did but he got to keep the kids which is good he almost lost his buissness and is in the process of bringing it back to where it was.

I kept the house, paid all the joint bills we had together. I then refinanced the house when the divorce was final. The only thing that he had to do was refinance the truck that he owns out of my name and here we are a year and a half later and its still in my name. I am checking out contempt of court charges against him.

Hmmm, if you ask others they will tell my story in a sad or bad way ... how I was done wrong ... all the pain and sorrow...

...but my story is one of revelation. Through it all I found me and was set free. I won't wallow in how much I lost ... in 20 years gone ... the financial hardship ... the pain ...

no ... I will be grateful for what I learned ... and will move forward with a better understanding of me, humanity, the world and my place in it.

My ex and I split everything as evenly as possible, including custody. We didn't have a very good marriage, but we did try to make it a "good" divorce.

The story is I lost everything but the kids...

Yes women get screwed too...

My lawyer was a man going through a divorce too. I did'nt
know about his divorce at the time- still can't help but wonder if that is why I lost everything or not?

I did'nt even get to keep our home and I had four young kids
at the time... go figure. We had to sell.

I would not like say as it would sound as I am bragging but the cost was far greater than any dollar amount there could every be. The pain and suffering my family went through was so great that its value could not be counted.


And I am stilling pay big three years later financially but not emotionally anymore.

First the good.....I got left w/ two beautiful little girls!

Now the bad....All I got left w/ was two beautiful little girls ....he spent the rent and pawned sold or traded everything for drugs, took the car and left!

Thank god for good family and friends that helped us start over!

Life is funny That's all I have to say about divorce and loss

ain't it funny how some couple's divorce is more amicable than their marriage.

I was married 3 times and got cleaned out every time.I know,"some people never learn."But the sex was good.

I got screwed so bad, and I didn't even get a kiss

No bad story to tell,,, It is what it is,,,, I choose to walk away after 13 years of marriage,,, I then gained knowledge and learned to Love me again,,

Actually, I wanted out so bad that I gave him everything. The house the 5 acres.......everything. I came out with some bills and my son. I think I got the better part of the deal!!

I am in a finacial HOLE I will never recover from , guess you cannot get screwed any better then that ... BUT .. I have 2 of the BEST KIDS in the world, the rest can be replaced ... :)

And NO I am not bitter ...

LaMom..........that's what happened with me. Glad there is a kindred spirit out there!!

Count me in LA Mom and Hadeeya. My marriage wasn't working, we both deserved better and I just wanted it over, I saw no point in being vindictive. Actually, he got most of our possessions and I took most of the bills (which wasn't very much anyway), which was fine with me, I could truly start again.

I'm sorry so many people had it worse but I think a lot of whether you recover emotionally comes from attitude. The financial stuff will fall into place far easier if you let go of the pain, anger and bitterness. Much easier said than done, I know, but it is possible.

wELL....before the marriage I sold/rent to own my house, sold all my furniture and everything I owned except my clothes .........sold it all


Came back with 2 suitcases and nothing else.......he wins I lose oh well! Que' serra serra!

i was taken for everything but my car and clothes and guns. everything else,, everything in the house, she took. even my picutres that i had before i met her she took
