Wayner - watch this movie! Beg your future ex to watch this movie BEFORE hiring a lawyer!
I've left out a lot of detail about our situation, out of respect for my ex. I will say that early on there was a time where she was saying we just needed to get lawyers. Thankfully, we discussed it and ended up in mediation. I feel she came out ahead on the deal as she gets the benefit of her pilot career (now with FedEx), which she dearly loves, while I'm struggling to come up with a way to make a living after being self employed and a stay at home parent. The asset split was in my favor, but in the long run I think she's way better off.
My experience is in accounting (bookkeeping), which I loathe, and the only reason my experience is in accounting is that it was the thing I could do from home, part time while staying home with our daughter. So... years of experience, not really qualified for higher level positions, and I hate the work.
The up side to all of this is that my ex and I are on really great terms. I'm told that in the divorce support group I referenced earlier that I'm often discussed as an example of how good a post divorce relationship can be with the ex.
