My husband emailed me that he wanted a divorce and then left the state for "some alone time" now he wants to have me go through house and see what I want and then take it and leave. What should I do?

Tell him to go F##k himself . You don't have to leave the house without a judge's order telling you to vacate the premises .

Thanks - I am just scared because he doesn't want to get attorneys and wants to do it all ourselves - I don't want to because he makes too much $$ and I don't....I don't want to be a *&%* about it but I want to get what is rightfully mine. I put 6 years into this marriage just like he did.

My ex husband wanted to handle our divorce without lawyers in attempt to screw me and I went out and got a lawyer and ended up screwing him!!! My advice... GET A LAWYER. Remember that the person you are divorcing is not the same person you married. Protect yourself and get a good lawyer.

I have an appt on Friday with a lawyer. While he was away at "his alone time" I copied all the paperwork I think I need to show all the monies he makes and has gotten since our wedding (he never should have never left me alone with the filing cabinet). He gave me his ring last night - all it is now is a piece of gold - doesn't mean anything else.

Lostherway... that is an excellent way to describe it... the man we divorce is certainly not the same one we married. Sadly I learned that the hard way and lost a lot in trying to be nice.
Get an attorney and protect yourself... you will be very thankful you did.

He has made me an offer - says this way I won't be responsible for his debts. He says we can put it all in the divorce papers, including changing my last name. I just want out because I am tired of fighting and not sleeping and just not being happy. Help me please!

Not sure what help you are referring to in this last post. Being a woman, though, you have the upper hand in the divorce IF you use a lawyer. Also, are you saying you want some compensation for your time in the marriage, but don't want the debt associated with it?
