Exploring divorce options. Husband mentioned a collaborative divorce. Have any of you had this approach? Anything I should know ahead of time? Consultation with lawyer is later this week. I am just exhausted and want to make sure I have all the facts before moving forward. Thanks

Is a collaborative divorce the same as mediation? That’s what I did and highly recommend it if you’re able to speak amicably and both genuinely seek resolution.

same!

I have heard of this. (I am a lawyer, it not a family law attorney). It can be a good option if things are amicable. Do a bit of Googling on it. If it is right for you, it can save $ in attorney’s fees.
Good luck, OP!

Did you contribute to any of the investments? And how long have you been married? If he’s trying to keep all investments and 401K then tell him to give you the whole house not split. Of course look at the total cost of everything and number of years of marriage and also how much you contributed actively or passively (by taking care of home and family so he can thrive professionally?)

Know all your assets and his assets and have a good idea of how you want to divide the assets. IE: both keep your own 401k, sell the house and split the proceeds, etc.

Yeah.. husband is saying we have to be respectful during this process .. at the same time he’s like 401k is mine, savings and investing accounts are mine too and we split the houses in half 🙄. Not sure how respectful things will go and how fair the process can be

Please DM me. Or check your DM

All - I am on a large project (100+ people) a consultant that was combative to me (and in email) and did poor work is now likely going to be brought on to another work stream that I will be tangentially related too. I’m trying to be an adult about this but I’m just so upset people get away with things and come back. I was his Manager. It was a poor fit but his behavior was inexcusable and when I talked to his CC he was not surprised (pattern of behavior). Don’t know what I’m asking just advice.

Ladies, how would you handle a male coworker who’s openly condescending, argumentative, and dismissive in 99% of interactions? He has laughed at my response to other coworkers, cut me off rudely while talking, and is generally very negative towards anything the team says. Account leadership has already spoken with him numerous times about his behavior.
