Another divorce topic

A good friend of mine is a Veteran and spent time in the Kush Mountains of Afghanistan and has seen some very bad stuff. When he returned home, he found out his wife was having an affair. He became immediately upset and moved in with a friend of his, but tried to forgive her and fix things due to their 2yr old son being in the mix. She told him she would not stop seeing this other man, and they filed for divorce.

He hired a local civilian attorney. While meeting with her attorney, her attorney slammed and attacked my friend. "You don't know how many divorces I've had to deal with because of you Vets, it's your fault and all of you are the same. Angry badasses that feel the whole world owes you everything. You make me sick." My buddy was hugely surprised and speechless for a minute, "Don't you ever talk to me like that again, who the hell are you? I've tried fixing all of this, but she has refused to work with me. I have never asked anything from anyone nor have I ever held my service or my status above them. I volunteered. I suggest you will NEVER speak to me like that again."

This guy has seen crazy stuff and only shares bits a pieces with his closest companions. He is grateful and humble and has never mentioned anything to me about anyone owing him a dime.

He hired a JAG attorney...[:D]
Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

    I hope he gets single scot free and that witch doesn't get a dime. I'm sorry for your buddy but he's definitely better off without her. Now the new guy can have a girl who cheats on her man. Good riddance.

    He needs to talk with HIS attorney, not hers.

    I am shocked that an attorney would be such a low life. Particularly one hired by a cheating low life.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Personally, I think he was being baited. Trying to get him to go off.

    I applaud his ability to hold his temper.

    Agreed - whole heartedly.

    Seeing if he could jack-up your Buddy and get him to react badly and in the process "cut his own throat".

    Your Buddy apparently handled it all OK.

    I'd suggest that he not speak to her attorney or to her, unless through his own attorney.

    That would all be the best policy for you Bud.

    Yep, he was set up for a flare of temper so her attorney could get an advantage in court for her.

    He's well off to only say the words, "Talk to my lawyer." Anything else will be fodder for her attorney.

    To the best of my knowledge, JAG will not represent you in a divorce. They will assist and guide you during separations, but cannot/will not do the divorce thing. They may also have suggestions as to civilian lawyers.

    Maybe things have changed....I don't think so, though.

    Happens all the time. Been told that the bars are packed with women the night after a large deployment. The military should do these young men a favor and bar them from getting married their first 15 years in the service!!

    She will raise the child, and he will pay child support. Carry on.

    I agree with this 100%

    On top of that, the lawyer is probably also stroking his ho wife.

    My opinion is that he should not speak a single word to the wife until after the divorce is final and if he is required to speak to her or see her for legal reasons, that he have a reliable, reputable witness with him.

    Been divorced a few (3) times myself, I've become a rogue scholar on such things. Just sad fact. Also, have been on both sides of broken vows. Some of many things I've learned from my experiences are: The new guy is destined to learn, "if they will do it WITH you, they'll do it TO you". AND, trying to reconcile has a 99percent chance of failure. AND, Staying together for the sake of the children is pure B.S. AND, divorced parents should make sure the child understands that the divorce was not his fault (small children don't understand divorce so they naturally think it must be their fault). Let her go and you start a new life and happy home for the child. quote:Originally posted by Navybat

    Yep, good for your friend to hold his temper. He should not go in alone again, let his attorney do his talking.
