Get absolutely EVERYTHING in writing. Everything.  Use a lawyer for all property, equity, retirement divisions.  I don't care how much you trust her.

This, especially property deeds and titles.  You don't want to screw that up.




When I got divorced the ex just filed a quit claim deed to the house and that was sufficient.  Your state may be different.

As much as Arfcom likes wasting years and $1000's on fighting.

Amicable divorces are easy. Just go talk to a D lawyer, tell him what the two of you have agreed to and have things written up. Heck you can both walk into the same place.

She spent 7 weeks in  Spain last fall walking 800 miles.  That activity and the Lib Socialists she met and befriended along the way are her life emphasis now.

Fair enough.  Now you've got my curiosity.  WTF is a Camino group?  I googled it and am even more confused.

PSA;  Taking a LONG walk will alter anyone's perspective on life and priorities

No one in his or her right mind would allow that in my state.

Get an attorney to draw up the papers for an uncontested divorce.  If you don't you'll still eventually pay for an attorney...

You likely have only a limited window for an amicable divorce. Sooner or later, she'll get to talking to her friends or something, and decide that she's been victimized. Bend over backwards to stay on her good side, but trust is a mistake - she is no longer on your team.

I'm sorry your marriage is falling apart.  These threads make me sad.

I too went through an amicable divorce.  I trusted her.  17 years down the tubes.  It came out of nowhere.  I thought that we were happy.  LOL. Did the friendly thing, everything was settled, she cashed out, paid in full.  Until she thought that she needed, wanted, could get more.  

Get absolutely EVERYTHING in writing. Everything.  Use a lawyer for all property, equity, retirement divisions.  I don't care how much you trust her.  

Of course I'm sure your divorce will be different.  Of course.

eta Everything.

I'm recently divorced. It was amicable. It was hard, and there was a lot of pain, but when it came down to it neither tried to screw each other.

Go see a mediator.

Shoot me an IM if you want more specifics.

Gross.

I suspect in an uncontested divorce situation it would be fairly easy to find a hungry attorney that would take 1k or less to print the forms up and file it with the state of record.

Going through it now. Paying a mediator $6,500.00 instead of $20K each for separate lawyers. I'm losing about $750K in the deal. half of what i spent my life working for.



lawyers will bleed you dry. They know how much money you have, when its gone they will send you to the mediation your should have started with.

This. Go to a lawyer together for cheap. If she truly wants to be amicable, she will have no problem with this. If she bitches about the insignificant amount you will pay, there's your answer.

 



This is all coming from a guy that was married to an attorney and the divorce was going to be amicable. It was until I moved out and wouldn't come back. Then it was game on for her.

Get an attorney ASAP!

Its always "amicable" until "someone" gets advice from someone else, new gf, new bf, etc. Then the shit hits the fan.
