Should I Divorce My Wife?
Your marriage isn’t working, you are not happy, and you want out, and you ask yourself, "Should I Divorce my wife?" Maybe you never thought it would come to this.
But you’re unhappy. Things just aren’t working out between you and you’re considering divorce.
For one thing, you’ re probably wondering:
- How much is this going to cost me?
- Do I need a lawyer or can I file for divorce myself?
- How do we split things up evenly and without causing any “bad blood”?
- How do we handle things like the mortgage and other debts?
- Who gets custody of our children?
The Answer: Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce is just a fancy way of saying that neither you, nor your wife did anything wrong – you just don’t want to be together anymore.
Everything, including the custody, costs, dividing assets and more, has to be settle to both your and your wife’s satisfaction. Feeling nervous yet? Don’t be.

IMPORTANT: Did you know that most courts are subconsciously biased against men when it comes to divorce?
To avoid losing your kids or losing your shirt and everything you own to a lawyer, you need a detailed, easy-to-follow “divorce roadmap” that walks you through the process and gives you direction on exactly how to handle every step from custody to briefs and other legal filings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
f you want to move forward with an uncontested divorce, your state has several local resources that can help, such as the Friendly Divorce Handbook which contains all the necessary forms and files.
You can also check your county website for more information on where and what to file.
Thanks to the internet, you can even find do-it-yourself divorce forms and services that will look over all the paperwork for you to make sure you’ve filled it out correctly.
These reviews are generally done by a paralegal and cost around $250, but they can give you much-needed peace of mind and confidence during what might ordinarily be a very stressful time for both of you.
What If My Divorce is Anything But Friendly?
Sometimes, things don’t always go smoothly and disagreements and arguments can cloud your judgment. When you and your wife cannot agree on how to separate assets, who gets custody and other crucial information, it’s a good idea to start a mediation process.
Mediation is when an unbiased third party (usually an attorney) listens to both sides and makes suggestions for how the couple can resolve their differences. Mediators are usually called into play because there are grounds for divorce, such as adultery or a drug/alcohol problem.
Because this attorney isn’t hired by you or your wife, they may not have your specific interests at heart. You can let the mediator draft an agreement between the two of you, but have your own lawyer look it over before anything is signed.
Above all, be careful not to agree to something just for the sake of avoiding yet another argument or disagreement. You may regret it later when there’s nothing you can do to change it.
