The divorce thread
Since the running joke with flight crew is the divorce rate, just wondering who on here is, or has gone though this.
Any advice to pass along as many on here will be in need of it at some point.
Thanks.

If you want to stay married, pick a good one and make your relationship with your spouse a priority. I don't think there's anything particular to aviation. I suspect the majority of divorced couples are happier off divorced.

Except for those monthly payments. I believe that they are taxed differently as well.

Re: The divorce thread
Suffice to say, my ex finally agreed to sign off on our divorce exactly one week ago today. It was a relief after a 2 year long (expensive!) legal battle!
As a wise "Tim Bit loving" co-worker once recounted...
"You know why divorces cost so damn much? Because they are worth every penny!"
My advice is that if your matter can't be mediated in short order, do not delay or pussy foot around. Seek legal representation and spend the bucks to hire a good lawyer. Fight for what is in your children's best interest (if you have kids) and don't back down. Don't doubt yourself!
To those whom might read this post, finding themselves in a similar position as I once did... Keep your chin up!
All the best,

I'm not going to get married again, I think I'll just find a woman that hates me, then buy her a house.

AvCanada might need a bigger server for this thread......
Re: The divorce thread
Haha, if you aren't married yet make sure she makes more than you do and it will make your divorce much cheaper.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not,knows no release from the little things; knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings.

Re: The divorce thread
I have a friend that tried to make his wife happy by working more to buy her things. When the day came around that she left, he was working 60-80 hr weeks. Her Lawyer went after support based on his last years T4, Now he still works 60-80 hrs to buy her things. If your going to divorce, don't take overtime or drafts to lower your income, spend as much time with her as you can, and document it pictures, texts, receipts etc...."your the Good Husband " Lawyers don't like to work for free, the less you have the less they'll take.fish4life wrote:Haha, if you aren't married yet make sure she makes more than you do and it will make your divorce much cheaper.
I know a guy who got appraisals on everything, and drew up 2 lists equal in assets. He put a bunch of things she wanted in one, and things he wanted in the other. She could pick one list, with the proviso that she would sign off without lawyers. Because, "Do you want to put our Kids through college, or the Lawyers"
Re: The divorce thread
I can add my one and a half pesos to the subject (that's about all I have left):
1) It's cheaper to keep her, and
2) the fucking you had is never as good as the fucking you get!
3) If it floats, flys or fucks....rent it!

Re: The divorce thread
My ex was with me for as long as I have been flying/ working in the industry (about 10 years, married for 2) she was all for "follow your dream" until the time came. I left for the summer to work the dock. And she instantly regretted say that. She told me several times that she didn't want to be married to a "part time husband." I threw the idea out there for her to move up north with me the next season. She laughed at that idea. And pretty much made me choose between her or my career..... So after being home for 2 months, and many arguments about this. I now have joined the Navy others affected by A.I.D.S and live in NWO with my dog, doing what I love. Lol
Moral of the story, single or dating is better, and cheaper than getting married

After 2 divorces I finally got smart and married another pilot. Been almost 30 years now...
Re: The divorce thread
Even if you don't marry, isn't there that family law that considers that couples living together for 3 years are automatically considered to be common law with the same rights/spousal support consequences as non-married couples?FOD wrote:http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/forei ... rline.html
