Update...It's been a very emotional afternoon. As I posted I made a consult with another law firm, only to find out my wife has retained them. They gave me a paper with 2 names circled of lawyers they recommend. I cried all the way home, my situation felt hopeless ... so I got home, was greeted by my dog Remi and I fed her. Made myself a CC and coke and called the first lawyer on the list ... he gave me a consult over the phone (he is in Tennessee on vacation) ... wow this is what a good lawyer is like ... he is not cheap ... but thinks we can get a higher percentage of the house and possibly recoup some of the money I gave her...I see him Monday. He's been practicing law for 43 years, was very friendly, listened, compassionate and told me not to worry he will get me a good deal...At this point I hate my wife, I want my lawyer to bleed her dry...Please don't judge me. When I'm less emotional I will explain the bankruptcy we went through...then you tell me if I have a right to hate her.
Hey lukin, we're still here and rooting for you like it's fourth and goal. It was really pretty awesome of that lawyer to give you the names of other lawyers. Make sure the new lawyer can hold his own against these people. I don't want to see you get a Morris Claiborne lawyer when you need a Jalen Ramsey. Spend time with Remi who can be trusted to love you no matter what. Heal emotionally knowing you are not to blame and you've been spared a life time of crossing oceans while she won't hop a puddle for you. You are getting your life back.
No need to explain why you hate your wife or want revenge. Right now, we all want revenge for you to some degree. I'm sure you've heard the saying "There's a thin line between love and hate". It was not your decision to abandon your wife, she abandoned you. For now, get down to the business of looking out for yourself as property is divided. Provide everything you can that will help your cause. Tell your lawyer the truth and don't forget about her leaving you off her insurance.
