Too poor to divorce

[dopey the clown]

Hanna Rosin notes a new study:

Divorce is officially a casualty of the Great Recession. Rates are down for the first time in five years, according to the newly released study of the National Marriage Project. Michael Gerson has called this shift a kind of “cultural renewal”; the idea is that when times are tough, people connect with their cherished values and stop indulging in the kinds of luxuries a fat economy allows. Divorce rates also dropped dramatically during the Great Depression. The reality is, however, that divorce is just expensive. People can’t afford to get divorced during a recession. Marriage rates are down as well; they can’t afford that luxury either.

Fuck getting divorced – Wives make excellent fertilizer. Feed them to your pigs…And, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

No thank you, Turkish.

I heard it can cost like 5 grand to get divorced, so I'm not really surprised that the numbers are down. The numbers will pick up again in a year or two when the economy is better.

Divorce is cheap. Got mine for $405.00 uncontested. The ex wouldn't sign the papers but LEO verified she was served.

The expensive part is unscrupulous lawyers that attempt to get their clients too much in the settlement. This causes more division between the parties. Before you know it, you're putting money in your lawyers pocket as opposed to allowing your ex-spouse to have it, lol.

Just keep the stuff you can't replace like family heirlooms, etc. Let the rest of the crap go, you can buy more with the money you didn't give your lawyer.

I've never been divorced or married so I can't speak from experience. My buddy got divorced and he said that it cost him over 5 grand for all the paper work. I guess that would include all of the lawyers’ fees and what not. It is a shame that these people can profit so much with other people's troubles.

The military had a saying "It's cheaper to keep her". But as Disco pointed out, you can DIY a non-contested divorce on the cheap. Mine costed about 350.00 in the early 90's.

Uncontested paperwork is inexpensive. Unfortunately, there are lawyers that will make excessive charges and make you think you need their services. I just got lucky and picked an honest attorney. The $405 I paid even included the $140 court fee for clerk filing.

There are two kinds of lawyers. One looks out for their clients interests and the other looks out for their own.

Lawyers either charge by the hour or a flat fee for services. The more you contest materials, the more lawyers are gonna charge. Sometimes it can't be avoided. Most of the time it's two relatively civil peeps wanting an easy divorce that turns into two blood sucking leaches at the end. Lawyers clean up in situations like this.

I watched about 5 minutes of that movie...couldn't stay interested.

 

[sorcival]

the expensive part of the divorce proceedure is not the divorce fee...it is the real
deep shit of bustin up what you own so she can have half, even if she never did shit for it.
That can cost ya yer whole smiley.
Then if ya got kids, they get screwed both ways...costlier than hell for all their lives.
Then there is the lawyers and their empty bottomless pockets and the asshole
friend on both sides that act screwy....

Divorce is VERY expensive with or without money.

Small story:
I worked like a fuckin dog for 24 years and had a lil. 2 houses with land, car, truck, bike,
bank accounts, lotsa nice shit I had accumulated aver the years, killer furniture, king
size bedroom suite..ya get the pic? Bachelor and damn proud of it.
Till I met her.
Then came marriage, 2 kids...and after 3 years divorce.
The judge gave me the kids cause she was a rotten whore bag from hell, BUT he gave
her every damn thing in my freakin life except the clothes on my back and my kids
clothes...
Me and the kids walked outta court with no where to go, and only $50.00 bucks in
pocket. Fuckin judge...AND damn whore.
She sold everything in less than a year and did it all up on drugs, then she sued me!
Bitch ass mofo.
AND she frickin won...same fuckin judge.
I paid that whore $100 bucks a week for 14 years till she re-married for alimony.

Meanwhile, I raised the kids...in very poor assed style too...kinda hard to buy shit
when ya gotta pay a whore to party and she is yer ex.
FINALLY, she got re-married, I got free from the chain and was able to begin
rebuilding.
NOW, I got 2 fine grown kids, 25 acres, I am off-grid back in the boonies and I dont
owe shit.
Never again will I do that shit.
I am remarried, BUT she is the finest lil sweetie ya ever did see.

That is all of what comes from gettin divorced in a community property state from
a whore.

I'm on my second marriage...the first one was a messy divorce.

A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you.​

That is true, a guy I knew got out of a posesson charge because of his lawyer.

That is good, I did laugh pretty good.

This is true but most (if not all) states support the 50% split. If you've gotta pay that anyway, why give a lawyer dollars for every penny split with the ex?

Then if ya got kids, they get screwed both ways...costlier than hell for all their lives.

I agree 100%.

You're right. MANY couples go into divorce with less than blood sucking intentions. Friends and ESPECIALLY lawyers expect too much in the split and push these couples towards terribly expensive results.

Sorry to hear about the bad financial split but I'm happy you kept your children. I'm also happy you have a much better life now as you deserve it.

I guess my posts sound a little flippant to peeps who've gone through the expensive divorce wringer. However, for those who are thinking about it, you don't have to insist on more than 50% of the material crap unless you're willing to pay a lawyer -or- are lucky enough to split before the blood suckers (lawyers, family and friends) influence your direction.

Thank you Pink Lady.
