Awful! Went to court, I hate divorcing

Awful!!

What is awful?

If you need to vent away we are here!

Went to court again today. Got temp support, enough to get by for now. His attorney asked why the house wasn't up for sale yet and then refused to sign the listing agreement I brought. And the stbx offered up one of our kids' cars to me as a settlement payment. Really? He has many vehicles and offers "threatens" to take away a car he gave our kid, and that was one of his better moments.

So frustrating to put it nicely. Sorry you had a rough day.

His attorney also "treaded" on the fact that another son, his wife and baby (our grand baby) are living with me. They moved in to help me, provide me some support and also with some of the expenses. He/his attorney he was concerned that some of the temp support might be going to them, . . . ,

Of course, that have to make sure you aren't helping everyone else out during your divorce... it is too hard to just do the right thing.

They're OUR kids.

And that is why everyone hates lawyers...

@Anas76 The unwillingness to provide support is all him. The unwillingness for any of “his” earnings to be used to help our kids is all him. The preference to take away a car he gave to one of our kids is all him. I think I should be grateful that he continues to reveal his true character and it’ll be over. I’ll have a tremendous amount of rebuilding to do. Not looking forward to that. Advice?

Oh wow, so HE is the one running after the money. This makes it so much harder to just walk away. I will pray for you so this gets resolved quickly and you get justice (not paying debt and keep your retirement). Not sure if this helps, but you might be able to dig into the debt and prove it was incurred for things only he could use and don't benefit the marriage (or something like that).

@Anas76 thank you. I guess you put it right. He makes 2 1/2 to 3 times my income and is wanting me to be equally responsible for his unpaid debts and retirement funds that have taken me many, many decades to accumulate. He’s blown or otherwise hidden more money than that in three years.
