I actually heard this in court waiting for our turn when another couple was fighting over something stupid....”Wow, your clients are really bickering..” “Yup, just the way we like it”

At first, I didn't want to get a divorce but this article https://breakupangels.com/10-signs-o...lable-partner/ helped me decide on this step. Now I'm looking for a lawyer who can help me, so if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate them.
I am using Elizabeth Lindsay Davis, Matthews & Quigley, P.C. » Paris

Be prepared for sticker shock.
Like everybody has said mediate if you can. Use a lawyer that specialize in collaborative family law.
Best wishes this sucks. Pm me if you want to chat.

It’s alarming what we can do to the other parent and the kids out of anger, ignorance or whatever known or unknown motive.
Some courts know about parent alienation syndrome and some don’t. You can always pay some psychologist to argue for or against whatever is happening to the kids. It can go on for years and become a war of financial attrition or until someone realizes they may be doing more harm to the kids than good by continuing to fight.

Have an automatic reduction in alimony or plan for any future pay cuts, furloughs, or medical issues that affect your mediated plan. Place certain triggers in there so that you do not have to go back to court to reduce alimony or other things of these things occur. Think of it as a contract similar to what we have with Delta. Always be looking ahead to possibilities and plan ahead.
Example - If husband loses FAA medical certification, alimony will reduce by 50% of the value agreed upon during said mediation due to Delta LTD only paying 50% etc, etc
If husband loses job due to furlough, airline ceasing operations, a forced displacement to a lower paying category, alimony will be equally reduced based on the original mediated value….
Attorneys think they are smart but when it comes to airline pilots and our compensation they are woefully ignorant. Remember, the attorney works for YOU. As long as you are not asking them to do anything illegal, they should do whatever you tell them to do. They are referred to as “counsel” for a reason. Listen to what they have to say but ultimately the outcome is up to you.
Sorry you are going through this but don’t let your desire to be kind screw you forever. Take care of your kids but then take care of yourself.

For us male pilot types, we often look at these situations in a much too methodical manner. We want to “fix it” as if it’s a machine. In doing so, we may go years to try and remedy the problem in mechanical mindsets to get the broken machine back on the ground. When we do this, we often overlook our own selves (mental health, physical health, social impacts, etc.).
It’s super important to remember to take care of yourself, to know that you also have the right to pursue your own happiness. There is life after divorce!
