Getting a divorce is no fun at all. There is so much work involved in it, that I am sure that I will never get married again. It is sad that it had to end this way, but there were far too many irreconcilable differences that we seemed to have no other choice than to go out and get a good divorce lawyer.

My lawyer suggested that I get short term insurance for me and the kids until the divorce was finalized. I was covered through my husband’s plan at work and she suggested that he could remove me at any time without telling me. I could not chance that happening, as this would surely be when I needed the insurance.

We have actually tried to stay pretty civil with each other. We are, after all, still parents to the same kids and those kids do not need to see us fighting. They need to be loved now, just as they were before the divorce and we are both really good at that.
