Divorce Lies 1 (For Men)
66The First Killer Lie
This is not legal advice and was not written by a lawyer.
Usually the first Killer Lie comes from your spouse. Who ever came up with the idea of divorce (87% of the time it is the women) will begin to bleed you dry while you are not looking. Most men find out too late, when everything is long gone. Think you will get it back...think again. Most lawyers say "we'll do what we can...its up to the judge." It is up to the judge but 99% don't care what happened and the 1% who do care won't help you.
In my case $250,000.00 was converted to cash and put in her safe deposit box before I even knew she wanted a divorce. In court she said her lawyer told her to do that. And guess what, when you get to court, usually 2 - 3 years (that's right...years) later, she says she spent it on necessary items and you PROVE that isn't true or its gone forever.
Next, she'll buy anything she can with credit cards that are in both your names. Why not, even if the impossible happens she'd only have to pay for half and you get to pay the other half, A shopping dream come true....50% off anything.
Have a open line of credit, guess what, it is now maxed out and you get to pay it off. Sound amazing, it isn't, it is common practice.
What to do, read other articles here but first run to the phone and cancel every credit card, you can ask for a new one in only your name. Next run to the bank, freeze everything that is left, in my case it was $70.00
Think this is just too depressing, it will get much worse. Wait till the police arrive and throw you out and if you try to talk to your children you can go to jail. And then her dirt bag lawyer will just try to put off the hearing to further screw you. Where are you going to stay, what will you wear?

I'm just beginning the divorce "journey" now. I'm a woman, but was told by my husband to get a lawyer. I filed first like he said, and we've "reconciled" twice (I use the term "reconciled" loosely as he wasn't even in the country, didn't try to keep in touch and still tries emotional blackmail on me). This time I'm not reconciling and I signed. He was shocked; I was devastasted. It would have been 26 years in Jan. 2012ad. He wants to get off paying as little as possible. My heart was broken by the man and never even so much as an "I'm sorry". I home schooled our two children for 16 years and didn't have a career because he didn't want me to work. Now that he's going to have to pay, he balks. So I begin this journey looking out for myself. I think money or no money, everyone gets hurt in a divorce and no one truly wins. I hope you are well on your way to healing from your journey. Thank you for the informative hubs even if they were written for men!
