  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

it's been a trying month

Jody, I'm sorry to hear all this happened to you. You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers. Smoke sent from Amsterdam.
 
Sorry to hear about the double whammy. For the divorce, you might want to look into mediation. People who mediate often have a better experience. (you usually don't get to say anything you want in court, but get to communicate more in mediation). It might be much cheaper than divorce lawyers, and if you don't like the outcome, you can still go the lawyer route.

If you do go to court (ie she gets a lawyer) make sure you do get one too. I hate to see people pay tons of money to a lawyer for anything like that (and that is coming from some one graduated from law school, and waiting to see if I passed the bar).

Hopefully your wife will be grown up about it, and it can be resolved fairly, without the need to spend tons on lawyers.
 
Sorry to hear about your mom and your bad fortune my friend. I will keep you both in my prayers.
 
Well, that certainly floors me! :eek:

Smoke and prayers going up for you from Virginia.

Sadly, they taught no divorce law in any of the graduate schools I attended. Now ... if you needed someone to run an X-ray crystallogram of her, I'd be your huckleberry. :D

Joking aside, I think I genuinely know what you're going through. You have all my sympathy, sir. If there is anything an old experimentallist can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.
 
thank you all so much! all your thoughts and prayers, advice and tips are so appreciated! i am 100% certain my mom will recover, it's just gonna be a long hard road.
the divorce, eh, whatever.
keep the prayers coming. thanks again.
jody
