After 3 years of her antics... and with 3 weeks to go to trial... 2 bankers boxes full of documents... 479 files in my PC Divorce folder... 689 (non-deleted) emails... 3 fully read and earmarked Bill Eddy books... we had an intense 6 hour mediation session where she basically took the offer that's been on the table for 2.5 years.
I'm drained.... and relieved.... but incredibly pi**ed at the system and these laws.
I put "worked" in quotes, as I am now stuck with support payments with no end. Our separation is 3 weeks passed the day where "rule of 65" kicks in. She's fully retired at 49 years old (no desire to work). I'm now facing a massive financial rebuilding and potentially 40 years of support payments. How did the laws ever get like this ????
I have a mountain of anger and bitterness to work through... not only dealing with what she's dragged us through, but the financial destruction, and the legal system which supports this nonsense. Now, after a lifetime of financial diligence, at 52 I face an almost insurmountable rebuilding effort while she kicks back for the next 40 years on my dime.
aaarrrggghhh....
Thanks to everyone who has provided guidance through this crap... this forum, and you people, are phenomenal... I'm not going anywhere for a while... I just hope I can give back what I've got from it.
