All I know is that I tried to make things easy and figured as long as I was doing right by my kids I didn't need a lawyer.
In the meantime my ex's lawyer was ass raping me and my ex was emotionally manipulating me to not even ask for any lube.
Thank God that cunt (the lawyer) fucked up and didn't make the order for spousal support non modifiable.
Now, I tried again to go without a lawyer and offered my ex a very reasonable amount to move on. She refused.
To every single person vilifying anyone for their choices regarding representation during one of the most difficult times of their lives, go fuck yourself

Tammy Wynette cannot be reached for help-Divorce advice
No man. In life sometimes shit gets thrown your way and you never expect it. Like any relationship, when shit feels like it’s going south you need to protect yourself and prepare. And in divorce, sometimes one party get an attorney, and lines up their ducks before you even have a chance. My brother is living this now. His wife booted him, went for full custody, and it’s been two yrs in a shitty rental with nothing. Now we find out she had multiple affairs and was moving money for yrs. He’s still in denial.
I don’t want to see anyone in here living out of a suitcase for 6 months wondering wtf is going on?
I got a helping hand in my divorce from a solid mag and I’m just passing it along.

I don’t think the system is bad or that all lawyers are but I’ve heard enough horror stories about people getting bullied by their lawyers into trying to fuck over their exes. I’ve even witnessed it first hand outside the courtroom

I think when you go to an attorney they ask you what you want and try to deliver. If your spouse is an ass, and the attorney has no scruples, he lays out a plan to deliver.
I sued some people once and my attorney would not name all I had singled out. He knew I was just pissed and would not feed into that.
Like anything, there are good ones and bad ones.

One of the reasons I was willing to spend money on a good lawyer is that she was able to quickly and concisely explain what I was legally entitled to (and legally obliged to do), as well as qualifying what was very clear and what was more gray.
She was also quick to laugh and agree when I said that if it was going to cost more to fight for money than I would end up with, I'd rather my ex have it then the lawyers. I know I've said that before, but being able to treat the financial side of a divorce as a business transaction and take as much emotion as possible out of it makes life much better, IMO.
Kids are another story, but my job reality meant that it made very little sense for her not to be the primary custodial parent, and my lawyer was quick to point out that it made far more sense not to fight a battle we'd inevitably lose.

The local mag who bailed me out hooked me up with a former MO Supreme Court judge. I went to work one day and never went home. Cops came to my office and had me 5150’d on my ex request. She even played my counselor and he almost lost his license. He wrote a scathing letter to the court about the whole plot he got sucked into. The judge called the hospital and told them to let me the fuck out now. That Monday the douche lawyer withdrew the BS temporary TRO. I later settled 1-1 with my ex and gave her everything she wanted. She could have tried asking?
You get what you pay for.

Well now I feel shitty for referring to your "wife" but I'm sure you're used to people making that assumption when posting in relative anonymity. Unless you're female, as we also tend to assume male on this board since it's over-the-top with (often toxic) testosterone. People really do need to come up with some new insults, though - it's 2022 not 1992.
On that note, heard a great one yesterday. "Do me a favor, go find a scrabble board, eat all of the letters and chase it with the strongest laxative you can find. Blow it out in the toilet and let me know what it says, because it's going to make a hell of a lot more sense than anything coming out of your mouth." Creative insults are a lot more fun.I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Kind of - basically in BC if you want any chance of it holding up in court each party needs independent legal advice.
This is where many lawyers may grow a great distain for the "lawyers just want to pick a fight" folks- and the "triggered lawyer" comes out in all of us.
When I did this sort of thing, I would often get these hopelessly one sided documents on my desk. My job was to advise the party of what the law says and what they would likely get if they went to court. But more importantly, how the document's provisions differed from that. Then I was to give them an ILA certificate and send them on their way with a bill for an hour of my time. However, some were so bad, and if all the indicia of a huge power-imbalance were present - I couldn't even bring myself to be a part of it and politely gave the advice and sent them on their way without agreeing to sign the ILA certificate. I just put it in the involuntary pro-bono file and left it.
I didn't want my name on a document saying that I gave legal advice on some complete shit-show.
Also, when the client comes to their senses and decides that actually I was right (usually when buddy comes to pick up the kids with a new bro-dozer, sled and gf - the "driller second wife starter set"). I get a call saying why did you let me sign that?
I can do all the cover my ass stuff I want - no one remembers what you actually told them.
But even beyond that - if someone is going to be and destitute completely fucked over by the agreement - why do I want to be associated with it?
However, once I make that call or heaven forbid my client actually takes my advice - and asks that I provide the other side with my take on the agreement - my office gets to field calls from the soon to be ex and family and I am accused of "just wanting a fight".
The thing is, I don't even know if the folks coming up with these documents even knew how far off they were. So, of course it's the lawyer fault!
I know that what folks in this thread are talking about is not that - but I can honestly say, when I was doing family law I had so much work that I didn't need to pick a fight. I had clients begging to go to court. For every case I took to court I had to convince 5 more that it wasn't worth it.
This may not be the thread for this as every case is its own thing but - Very, very few people are happy with their divorce settlement. That's why the operative word is "settle".
None - absolutely none- of this is saying that there aren't lawyers that act differently. I am well aware of them and I would happily point out the ones I know of in this jurisdiction.
However, this is a more of a support and commiseration thread - so fuck the lawyers! So if you have a "my ex's lawyer was so shitty" story - I believe you.
Funny, I don't hear very many "my first lawyer wanted me to do shitty things to my ex so I fired them" stories.

This. All those advising to try to do it by being collaborative etc. (many of whom, I suspect, have not been through the divorce machine themselves) are missing a piece. Many of us tried that route and it ended up biting us in the ass because the other party was mercenary or had mercenary counsel. I wanted nothing more than to settle quietly (doing right by my kids) and maybe actually have a friendly relationship with my ex.
In spite of those efforts and her claims about wanting to be collaborative, she or her counsel came at me with guns blazing and I had no choice but to get into the trenches. Absolutely didn't want to (and couldn't afford to) be there.
I've written this a thousand times: it takes two people of reasonable sensibilities who can think for themselves and are truly aligned with fairness and some semblance of honor for the other to settle collaboratively. If that isn't the case one even one side it's going to be a battle which requires legal advice. Given how fraught the circumstances are when ending a marriage, that's a big ask.

wow I hit a nerve ^^
well ya for it to hold up in court if it does go tocourt, I know this from the 1st divorce
I did some recreating with a lawyer in PG ( pretty nice guy for a lawyer ) who used to say " make that deal cuz either you can take your kids to Disney land or we argue in court and then I can afford to take my kids to Disney land "
I 'm OK with both my divorce deals, I like to think I divorced well which is actualy more important than marrying well given the amount of unions that don't last, but I can see how family law in a town this small would suckLast edited by XXX-er; 05-30-2022 at 06:34 PM.
