I Made My Bed I Guess? (long Post)

Q: Let me get this straight, you never divorced your first wife and then married your second? This will hurt you as now you have broken the law of bigomy. It will not affect your CS at all. As to the home and such, I recommend that you keep detailed records and contact an attorney pronto. You will be screwed so make sure you bring your own lube or it hurts worse. You might as well get ready to be screwed, because the Child support will be determined based on your earnings, not how much is a reasonable amount, ie $500 to $700 is reasonable, tho still outragious, but quite typical anyway. So, you can probably keep the house, but have it appraised pronto to determine its value asap. This way, you can say you purchased it for, say $100,000.00 and its now worth $110,000.00 so at most she is only entiteled to half of the increase in value. Since it was purchased in your name, I think you are ok. The second mortgage may have her name on it, but that only makes her responsible for paying for it, not as part owner. If you don't mind screwing your credit, quit paying that bill and let them go after her for the debt. Always nice to stick it back in her after the fact. More than likely, you will not be getting a divorce, but an annulment since you were still married to your first wife. I wouldn't obsess too much on the house and such, I think you are pretty clear there, but listen to your lawyer. Make sure you get a law firm that focuses on MENS RIGHTS, not just a run of the mill divorce lawyer.

A: I grew up in Washington, and my current roomate (sister) here in AZ was divorced in Washington. I can say this. You are lucky (so to speak) to be getting divorced in a liberal state. Washington and Oregon from what I know are a little better than places like AZ and CA. It always comes down to the judge in the end, they can do whatever they want because of the whole "best interest of the state... ooops, I mean child" thing. As for being married regarding kids, it generally does help because you are taken more seriously as a dad that was involved in his child's life. I am assuming you are male. I have

two kids from two different mothers; one as a boyfriend, the other as a husband. I currently have custody of my daughter from the divorce, and still only get to see my son once every other weekend with little or no say in his life. Amazing what a piece of paper and a wedding band will get you. If you have any questions and are in the Benton County area, my mother is a guardian adligtem in WA. Her job is doing in-home interviews and making reccomendations to the state on who should have custody when the state is involved. I can say this, she is not crooked and treats moms and dads the same. Probably helps that she has a son who has gone through hell just to be with his kids.
