I fully expected when we decided to divorce that the house would be half his, even though the deeds were in my name. I had bought it before we met so it was my mortgage, and he would never have been in a financial position to purchase property at any point,
Divorce is rarely confined to personal spaces and private conversations. For many professionals, it begins to touch work life in subtle and sometimes unexpected ways. Meetings that once felt routine can become difficult to concentrate on, deadlines may suddenly feel heavier, and interactions with colleagues can take on an unintentional tension. Managing emotions while maintaining professionalism is a daily challenge, and it often requires careful attention and patience.
I have seen my mother slit her wrists. I have lived a life, my whole life of chasing her into bathrooms, trying to catch her throwing up. I've been around guns, the mafia, the racetrack. I've been through everything. I've seen her beaten with an inch of her life with a phone. Nothing compares to what my divorce was for 10 years.
Well, yes mom. I did. Why? I didn't know how to say no. Hell, "no" wasn't even in my repertoire. I did whatever I needed to keep the peace. Keep a good GPA. Keep money in my bank account. But now my inability to set a boundary when it came to honoring my own happiness was officially catching up. After six years of marriage, the truth of never wanting an "I do" in the first place had crept up in a myriad of ways,

Reaching a point where you have saved far more than you ever imagined should feel like a triumph. Surpassing your own financial goals is something most investors only dream about. But life is never just about the numbers. For one Reddit user in r/fatFIRE, the moment that should have marked early victory instead came with a painful twist. After building enough wealth to retire in their 30s, they were hit with shocking news.
Our starter home had four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and was an almost 3,000-square-foot home. I had my own garden, an office, and all three of my children had their own rooms, as well as an upstairs playroom. We were also in a really great school district. The home really was a dream come true. Unfortunately, by 2020, our marriage was coming to an end.

In "This Is 40," which premiered Dec. 21, 2012, Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd play Debbie and Pete, a married couple both about to turn 40 while dealing with struggling businesses, parenting two daughters and trying to rediscover a connection in their marriage. I'd been looking forward to seeing the movie for weeks, knowing my husband and I could use a date night with some comic relief, with some way to focus on someone else's marital problems instead of our own.
He was listening to the Limbaugh shit on the radio and working with people who displayed the characteristics of MAGA. After Trump was elected in 2016, he really started to get weird. He would come home spouting bullshit, and he was always contrary, confrontational, and negative. It was weird. I loved him a little less each day. We had been married for 38 years when we finally divorced, and he wasn't the same person anymore. I couldn't stand to be intimate with him anymore.
When I found myself in the wreckage of my third marriage, I finally woke up to the wrenching truth that marriage isn't for me. I looked back on my relationships and came to the sudden realization that, as much as I tried, maybe I'm not the marrying kind, have no idea what I'm doing, or am clueless about what makes a good life partner or how to be one. Or, likely, all of the above.
Divorce lawyers have seen it all - from petty revenge and emotional chaos to jaw-dropping betrayals straight out of a soap opera. In a viral Reddit thread asking, "What's the most insane, evil, or downright dumb way a spouse has tried to screw over the other?" the responses range from hilarious to horrifying - and sometimes, both at once. From people spending six figures fighting over a single ceramic ashtray (only to smash it in front of their ex)
Allura is now going through a divorce of her own, and because of this, she's brought their old mentor, Dina, into the fold to represent her. As we all know, when you're going through a divorce, you have to call up all the best lawyers for consultations so they'll be "conflicted out" - meaning your ex can't hire them. Allura did this with all but one: her nemesis, Carrington Lane.
While going through a divorce in 2020, the topic of after-school care for our two children came up, along with the associated cost. My son was in third grade, and my daughter was starting kindergarten. The thought of my kids being home alone after school gave me so much anxiety. I was insistent about adding after-school care details to the divorce decree, and I agreed that my ex and I would split the cost.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the model and actress wants to legally change 11-year-old Fianna Masterson's name to Fianna Phillips, further cutting ties with the disgraced That '70s Show alum.

Keith Urban has already moved on from estranged wife Nicole Kidman, who begrudgingly filed for divorce late last month after 19 years of marriage. A source told Us Weekly that the Grammy winner, 58, is not dating one person but is open and has moved on from the marriage with Nicole.

Looking at rentals after my divorce, all I could see was expansive space - so much for my daughters and me to fill. But when I found the perfect location, I knew it was time. We craved that space, as overwhelming as it was - space to call home, space to furnish. I reminded myself of the potential and signed the lease.
'It's appalling, really, our interest in the private lives of public people. Who would not wish Erica and Rory well? Only the most miserable among us. But if you follow golf, Rory McIlroy has been in your life for more than 15 years now, and your interest in his life is inseparable from your interest in his golf. It's just human nature ...
Before the end of her marriage to alt-country darling Jason Isbell became a reality in December 2023, singer-songwriter and The Highwomen member Amanda Shires imagined its possibility on "Fault Line," from her 2022 album Take It Like a Man. Despondently etching out a rough patch the modern-day Johnny and June had endured, Shires sang as though underwater. As she envisioned how to answer the inevitable questions she'd get about their split, her voice slumped with exhaustion: "I'll say what's true/I don't know."
I want a divorce, but I am broke! Pretty much literally. I just have a bunch of credit card debt that my entire paycheck goes to, and a small savings that we're currently depleting for marriage counseling. I would gladly just give all that cash to my partner for first and last on a separate apartment. We don't share any of our debt, except for the condo and a car,
Several years ago, when the last of my daughters graduated from college, loaded her 'how-can-she-possibly-carry-that!' backpack, hugged me tight, and boarded a plane for South America with a one-way ticket, I felt a hole in my stomach the size of a meteor crash pit. I knew so many things at that moment. I knew I had a world of worry ahead of me that would last the duration of her adventure-with-no-end-date.
