[quote]Well, divorce sucks, big time. I wish I'd be tougher, but not I'm not. It was pretty hard to read these papers. Is it just me, or most people go through that emotional stage? It hurts somehow...I'm not sure how to deal with all that. The most important, we are divorcing over such a stupid issues, nobody cheated or did something really bad. It's just situation - more money, less trust... It's SAD. [/quote]
I was the one who filed for divorce and it still hurt to read the papers that I signed before I filed. It's normal. It's the beginning of the end.
And you are right, it was over a stupid issue. His greed. You can't change that. One day, he will realize what he has done.
In the meantime, you take care of yourself and your kids. And move on with your life.

Hi, sorry for the long post. This is like my life story these days. I am so glad I bumped in to this one. I work full time and make good money. See for last six months my husband (we have children from previous marriage, none together), pushing me to sign an agreement document, which he nicely put that what will happen to kids if we die, I liked the idea, but then he defined a divorce scenario too, where I freaked to and said why do we have this, are you planning for divorce, he said no no , it is just incase we part our ways. He has way with words, wraps things around. I told him I am very uncomfortable with this. So we had a fight, then it went away, after few months it came back again, I had same reaction, so we got into worst fight, he threatened me to file for divorce, and stopped talking to me for a month and asked his mom to cook and do things for him (BTW she lives with us(another problem)). I couldn' take the silent treatment, so I said OK let me see what do you want, I asked him few questions around his scenarios, but he didn't have any answers, he told me to talk to his lawyer who is preparing this agreement document which is actually a post nup. I talked to his lawyer and asked questions like my husband wants me to sign off my rights over his 401K, his life insurance, plus he wants me to sell everything and split everything in 50% and give to his kid right away, if something happnes to him, what will happen to me, she said she can't counsel me and I need to have my own attorney. I told my husband about it, then we got in to another fight, becuase now he says he can't trust me, he thought I will sing this document, so I asked him send me the copy of the document, when I saw it in black and white (so far it was all words), I modifed it to make sure it will be harder to get divorce, plus we both assign something for each otehr, so he again said no more deal and he is filing for divorce.SO here after six months I am getting divorce every other week from him, or he doesn't talk to me, or some other kind of abuse. SO FINALLY three days ago, I informed him honey don't worry too much anymore, just to make things easier on you, I am filing for the divorce. I finally head it with him, and I didn't sign anything.
Please don't sign anything, true reason will come out why does he want you to do this in the first place, if marrige is rocky then work on marrige, this is what I told my husband, save the marriage, don't run to save money, if that is what you are after than live with your money, your wife will leave you in a heart beat.

First, if the two of you were to get divorced, the kids aren't going to come into consideration since both of your kids are with other people when it comes to asset division.
And he has been planning on filing for divorce for a long time, he just wanted to keep most of the marital assets. Did he agree to waive his interest in your 401K, life insurance, leave some to your kids in the divorce? Probably not. And if you signed it before he filed for divorce, he would be able to go after your 401K but you wouldn't be able to touch his.
My suggestion is to contact a lawyer (his attorny is right, she can't advise you. She's his lawyer not yours. At least she was ethical enough to let you know this) and file for divorce before he does. Put him on the defensive. If he wanted a divorce, he should have just come right out and said it rather than try to get a settlement that is not fair before doing so.

Yes he asked that he will sign off his rights too over my 401K and life insurance too, my bigger question was, since I really loved him, what are we doing for each other as caring spouses, his answer was well I am splitting joint account and house, reality is I put all my life saving in this house, he stashed away millions away for his kid, I trusted that we will be running home together, he makes 30% more than I do, but he got very expenive tast, so we spend lots of money in all kinds of stuff, plus my kids are gone 50% to their fahter, his mother and kid don't go anywhere, I work full time, but then I take care of whole house hold including his mother, they expect 9 course meal on the table every night. I am 40+ and very tired now due to all this physical and mental stress. So I was more what if something happens to him tomorrow, we have very little money in joint account which will be gone paying all the bills, plus house got zero equity due to market, so I will be lietrally pennyless and homeless, when his mother and kid will go to live with his other rich brother. It is not fair, humanity wise. This is why I had such a hard time signing the document, becuase it was against mrriage, I am filing for the divorce, it hurts, and yes it is for such a stupid thing, if you see we have everything, jobs, house, good kids, health, love everything, but becuase of his money saving act from me will make lose everything. I really feel sorry for the kids, they were blended like crazy, here actually adults has been the porblems, and children will suffer in the result.
