Dear Attorneys,
I don’t know what to do. I’ve been married for twelve years and have two kids. I’m not happy. I can’t see a future with my current wife. But do I stay for the kids? How do I deal with not seeing my kids each day? Or supporting both households? I don’t think my wife is happy, either. Should I stay or should I go?
Sincerely,
Charlie Clash
Dear Charlie,
That is tricky, and we are sorry to hear that. We always tell clients that it’s a personal decision as to whether you should stay or go. If you are struggling with that and not ready to file for divorce, you may want to seek couples and/or individual therapy first. If you decide to move forward with a divorce, your questions are common, and something we discuss in our consults. If you are negotiating with your soon-to-be-ex, you can get creative with a parenting plan that works for both of you. Financially, we can assess assets and even work with a financial advisor to see what options you both have for essentially running two households on the same resources where you previously only ran one.
Wolf & Shore Law Group is here to help you make your family law matters easier, not harder. We are realistic and direct with our clients. We encourage potential clients to seek out a firm where they will feel comfortable and confident. Ever argue with a woman? Let Wolf & Shore Law Group go to work for you.
