Starting Over ...

Sports Journalists Forum – Media, Newsroom & Reporting Talk

Help Support Sports Journalists Forum:

All the advice on here has been dead on. Even though things are going well now, there may be that one disagreement that puts a complete spin on the situation. Get a lawyer and protect yourself and your interests. It's better to be completely prepared than to have something come back to haunt you.
 
Allow me to echo Lugnut's advice (because she gave it the same punch I was feeling reading this thread.)

Get a lawyer NOW. Do not pass go, do not hesitate, do not trust your soon-to-be-ex will be benevolent. Cover your butt. You must protect yourself.

I wish you the best as you go through this. My PM is always open if you need a shoulder.
 
I have duly noted all the lawyer advice and have filed it away in my brain for use later. Yes, I'm being a stubborn *****. I'm quite good at being one of those. If you don't believe me, just ask the soon-to-be ex! (I really have received leads on lawyers via PM, so I am listening to the advice :).)

Meantime, on happy topics, I have found a house to rent that I really, really like. I have filled out an application. The problem is, I'm not the only applicant on the table. So put your good thoughts together, dear SJ Nation, and hope that somehow I look better on paper than whoever else is trying to get my pretty little house.
 
Well it seems like you have it under control. In fairness to my 'tough love' posts, you hardly seem like someone with no skills.

I send you ((( hugs ))) and good wishes.
 
I interviewed for a part-time job today that will pay me just barely over minimum wage. In an effort to supplement whatever I might end up getting from the Ex. And in order to have health insurance. It's a job that is flexible enough that I will be able to go back to school in January.

I go to visit a lawyer in the morning.

I have reached a point where I doubt if I will ever again be able to trust a person that is not related to me by blood.
