    I used to make commercials for a living. Some of my clients were personal injury attorneys. One of them used to do divorces. They switched because they said "divorces were making us lose our faith in humanity." People are so awful to each other during divorces that even their lawyers wanted out.

      My ex found a decent mediator. We are mostly amicable and hashed out most things ourselves, and the mediator was able to help get us over a few important disagreements (by talking to us separately in different rooms, so we would stop rolling our eyes at each other 😬 and focus with her on what was really critical to our needs.)
      It saved a bundle: $3000 total (split between us.).
      However, her legal aid was terrible-typos, misunderstandings, mixing up clients’ paperwork, and the expectation to have it all done in a single session made completing the process longer and much more painful than necessary.
      Also, the legalese is terrible and threatening in itself. And, I had lookup multiple state and nonprofit websites for help and guidance to correctly catch a couple of things (missing car VIN #s for title transfers and verbiage for out of state school registration permission). Also, the mediator nearly freaked out at our amicable way to split the sale of the house, and we had to tweak it to calm her done (imagine someone telling you that (10-2)/2 = 4 is very different, legally, than 10/2 - 2/2 = 4 🤷).
      Ie Mediation can be great-IF you trust your spouse and both can work together ahead of time to has out most money, timeline, maybe some custody expectations, and possessions.
      But, be wary of poor online reviews hinting at some imperfect lawyer or staff issues, know you’ll still need to be a bit savvy yourself-or have someone else cheaper or free to help you review the document before finalizing, … and, you probably should take measures to consult a lawyer, tax person, and/or online help-especulially if you suspect you can’t fully trust your spouse (or yourself) to not make some rash, emotional financial or other big decisions prior to separation, mediation, or divorce.
      Oh, and get counseling for yourself and the kids.

    Even my extremely uncomplicated (no pets, no kids, no shared property), completed uncontested, totally amicable divorce cost $1800 in notary fees and a year of calls to the courthouse until it was finally approved. And literally all we needed was for a judge to rubber-stamp a document saying, "Yep, I agree you're divorced and have already handled all the financial stuff already!" I became hugely sympathetic to the people who are "separated but not divorced" because DAMN that shit gets expensive!

That’s where most of the money went - to the notary. In theory we could have done in ourselves, but after bashing my head against the instructions for two weeks, I realized I needed a professional. The divorce filing fees were only about a hundred dollars, plus another 40 to get a formal copy of our marriage certificate, which we realized we didn’t have. A ridiculous waste of money to do the notarized document, if you ask me, but needs must.

(and my parents have by no means been an ideal couple) A lot of the awful & messy divorces I've seen have been between two awful & miserable people who would happily tell you all about their misery at the hands of their awful partner, but couldn't see an ounce of their own awfulness even if it slapped them in the face.

      I had to end a bunch of relationships because they couldn't see that they had any flaws or fault of their own. They were the victim, and everything that was wrong was external to them. It made any form of progression in the relationship impossible. When you think that, you dont take responsibility for anything. It explained alot, and It was very subtle and took about... 8 years to really become a problem. Hilarious.
      But when it was happening, and I was trying to resolve the issues and hitting a brick wall because of that deep rooted attitude, I was like... this is what people in divorces keep describing to me.
      It takes two active, willing, engaged, responsible, and accountable participants to form a relationship long term. If even one isnt doing it, it cant work. I think thats where the stat comes from. People being lazy, and just not taking responsibility for their lives.

    I'm all for Shacking Up, especially if one has already been married and divorced and has kids. Second and subsequent marriages can screw your kids out of their inheritance, because if you die before your 2nd spouse does, that spouse gets it all, leaving your kids with nothing unless you've provided for them through trusts and such with the help of an attorney. However, that rebound spouse will still get all the family heirlooms, including the gun collection your great-grandfather started that you planned to leave to your son and the jewelry or art collection ypu planned to leave to your daughter. And if the step-parent decides to be an even BIGGER asshole, just out of spite (and they quite often do), your kids won't even get the family photographs you've taken and collected over the years. There may even be a beloved, old, family pet that simply "vanishes" without a trace or a decent explanation. I truly and firmly believe that remarrying is one of the shittiest things you can do to your children. MUST you REALLY have that piece of paper that ties you to a step-parent with hundreds of feet of red tape?
    Remember folks ~ Blood is thicker than water, and you never TRULY know someone. Didn't you ALREADY learn that with your ex?! Don't gamble on family treasures or your children's inheritance just for a sheet of paper that will likely be FAR more trouble than it's worth, and far more costly to have revoked than you can imagine. The "NEW" WILL wear off, just like it did the first time. When that time comes, if you avoided signing that contract, your arm will get sore from patting yourself on the back.

Also, there are other feminist organizations that work hard to help these women. The whole thing is awful.

      We treat children as if they don't have their own opinion, meanwhile every child I met knew damn well which was their favorite parent or if they loved both the same. Of course this shouldn't be the end of the discussion, but the child's wishes should at least be considered.

    I like that petty, vindictive people, have to pay more because they're never satisfied, and feel they're owed more than they deserve.

    Never get married. Saves you a ton of money and heartache. 😅

      1. Social Security benefits
      2. Tax breaks
      3. Cheaper car insurance
      4. Cheaper health insurance
      5. Keep more of your home’s sale price
      6. Retirement perks
      7. You can “gift split” and save on taxes later in life
      Cons
      1. Filing jointly could launch you into a higher tax bracket
      2. Filing jointly could raise your student loan payments
      3. You could pay more for car insurance
      4. Your spouse’s credit could negatively impact your loan terms
      Still largely beneficial from a money standpoint

    Excellent-videos! My five-year relationship came to an end a month ago. The love of my life chose to leave, and I can't stop thinking about him; I love him so deeply. I've done everything I can to win him back, but nothing seems to work. I'm feeling frustrated and can't imagine my life with anyone else. Despite my efforts to move on, I just can't shake the thoughts of him. I don’t know why I’m sharing this, but I really miss him).

      Its tough to let go of someone you care about. I can relate, my 12year relationship also ended, and I struggled to move on. I tried everything to get him back, even seeking help from a spiritual counselor who ultimately helped me reconnect with him!

    Quick tip to not get divorced. Don’t get married. There are virtually no benefits in doing it.

      And if you have kids it’s actually more beneficial on taxes if they assume the mother is single, even though both parents live in the same house, at least in my country.

      Realistically, couldn’t you just do all the stuff a monogamous married couple does with marriage? It’s pretty much just a contract.

  • @garylefevers
    @garylefevers Год назад +12

    Personally, I think it should cost at least as much to get married as divorce. That way people will think about things a longer amount if time. And I am saying this after a happy marriage for over 35 years. We are still happy but its not always easy.

    • @mrbn2022

      Hire a wedding planner for a big formal wedding and yes, getting married will cost as much or more as the divorce will a couple years later.
