[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 78257, member: 439"] Karen - it really does differ state to state. When I went first talked with the attorney, I already knew I wanted the divorce (actually, we had a dissolution). One thing that was required (then) is that before I actually filed the paperwork with the court I had to be living at a different location. Our house was a year from being paid off. So, basically, I told him to refinance it for half it's value, and give me that for a downpayment on a new house. I found one 1/4 mile away that the kids could walk back and forth between. However, when we went to do the house loans was a riot. We were going to use the same bank for both that had the original mortgage. I arrived for the appointment a little bit early, he arrived over 30 minutes late (typical). We were pretty well done with my loan before he got there. When we started on his loan (I had to sign quit claims because we WERE still married at that point), I was passing all the relavent paperwork to the loan officer, just as I had during my loan. The officer finally asked the ex "What are you going to do without her?" I died laughing! Anyway, I pretty much dictated the conditions of the divorce, and he didn't contest them (not that he had reason to). We both had similar amounts in retirement funds, so we signed off on each others and get nothing from those, just our own. We also both had almost identical salaries, and since Ohio requires you to pay child support to them, takes out 2%, then cuts the check, it would have been useless for one or the other of us to pay the $10 a week difference, so no child support. I carry the medical on the kids because he's constantly changing jobs (one of the main reasons for the divorce). I got one car, he got the other. One thing I did "give" him was some property we had in joint names - sold it to him for $1 (it's in Kentucky and you must do some type of financial transaction to change deeds). I haven't any idea what it was worth, but it meant a lot more to him than me, and he couldn't afford to pay me for it. I'm just rambling here - but wanting you to know that it CAN be done civil wise. Now, my husband's divorce on the other hand...... she got the huge house, the new car, and his child support was figured not on his pension, but on the last year of his salary, which was 3 years before the divorce. He was left with his pension (half of which went to child support) and a 5th wheel camper. And her salary was in the way over 6 figure range! [/QUOTE]
