Divorce Finally Finished

**paulzane** · 10-25-2013, 07:22 AM

Well it is all over now. Decree Absolute and final Consent Order signed off now We haven't really lived together now for around 10 years but it still took 18 months to sort out. It cost me a lot out of what was going for my retirement. Purely in up front payments it cost me a house, all contents and jewellery and a cash lump sum.

Worked out at £450,000 which is around $730,000 US

So if you are getting married to a Western woman or someone who will settle in the west ....then be prepared to pay for it when the sh1t hits the fan in years to come. Whether it is your fault or not?

Off to the bar now for a few as a free, but poor man .....lolol

**Igifuno** · 10-25-2013, 07:24 AM

Glad it's over for you zaney... Sounds like a hell of a shit ride bro. Sorry you went through that. Today is the first day of the rest of your life!

**Back In Black** · 10-25-2013, 07:39 AM

Ouch!

Onwards and upwards, enjoy the beer

**marcus300** · 10-25-2013, 07:53 AM

Been there and it cost me also a small fortune,
your better going to the gym than a bar IMHO knock some shit out of the weights, that normally sorts me out

**diesel101** · 10-25-2013, 08:21 AM

I've also been there.My divorce was the best money I ever spent.
I'm not scared of dying because I've already lived with the devils sister in hell for 5 years.

Why are divorces expensive?

Because they're worth it!

**redz** · 10-25-2013, 10:04 AM

That sucks for you, my divorce cost me $450 in fees which she paid half so $225. Kept my house and everything.

**paulzane** · 10-25-2013, 12:05 PM

**likelifting** · 10-25-2013, 01:27 PM

Been there...done that.

I've been through parts of my life with a good amount of money and been through parts of my life without a lot of money and for me, happiness was not tied to how much money I had.

Hang in there.

Marry me?

**Honkey_Kong** · 10-26-2013, 03:55 AM

I hope more guys thinking about doing something stupid like getting married will read these stories of how much money it's most likely going to cost them. This form of legalized prostitution just isn't worth it. There is all these costs involved with the likely breakups, and I'm willing to bet most wives spend all their husband's money while they're together. And for what? What does anyone get out of marriage that they can't have whilst single?

**paulzane** · 10-26-2013, 04:36 AM

Did a quick calculation and worked out that the payment is equivalent to the cost of a different woman every single night for approximately 29 years if you paid for sex!!

Absolutely and I haven't factored in all I spent on the wife and kids for over 20 years....food, clothing, private schooling, private medical care, plane tickets, holidays, entertainment, etc. etc.

LMFAO

**DCI** · 10-26-2013, 04:41 AM

Lmao paul did you have more than one drink as that is definetly a beer mat calculation. I'm glad I have no interest in getting married that is a hell of a lot of money

NEVER EVER buy the cow if the milk is free!

**Euroholic** · 10-27-2013, 01:40 AM

Congrats mate enjoy the single life. Nothing better than a life of single. Im a betting man and marriage has horrible odds. And why would someone want to just bang one women for the rest of his life when if you do the math you can up your count by at least 10-30 a year on average.

**Cuz** · 10-27-2013, 09:39 AM

don't worry I am probably not far behind man lol.

All the more reason for a good prenuptial.

1st wife divorced/Deceased. 2nd wife divorced/Deceased. 3rd wife, still married. Same prenuptial as the first two.

Sorry to hear it worked out the way it did emotionally and financially. It's to bad people/women have to try to destroy the person they claimed to love and the courts/judges let them. Fvcked up system we have in place.

Thus the old saying holds true. If it Flys, Floats or Fvcks it's cheaper to rent.

Does the third wife sleep with a glock under the pillow and one eye open??

She just took her first gun class 2 weeks ago.

1st one died from 44 mag
2nd one Glock 19, 9mm

Now I have a Glock 23.

During my 1st divorce I left the court room about 15 minutes before a distraught husband being destroyed by his soon to be ex who was pregnant with another guys baby he was going to have to pay child support for, he had paid for her K1 Visa just a couple of years before and took most of his money, he walked into the courtroom and shot her in front of everyone.

**paulzane** · 10-28-2013, 08:50 AM

lovbyts ... I know you had a shit time with your two ex wives ..... I am sorry I was so glib with my comment!!

??? Not at all, no worries mate, its all good.

Yeah 1st one was a BIG problem but the 2nd one everything went smoothly and we even hooked up quite a bit after the divorce all on good terms. She does almost 3 years after.

In England now there are similar rights for same sex couples who have actually gotten "married" then divorced. The higher wage earner gets the rap from the courts. If kids are involved similar as well.
