@OP ... Respect for them doing the right thing and making sure the kids are grown. D-day for me after 12 yrs of marriage was just under a year ago. 9 months is the legal separation time here, it's just a "let's see if this was just a bad fight" thing.
Personally my divorce is more civil than our marriage. My kid laughs at the way her friend's parents handle it. I'm happier than fuck and it obviously shows.
To those considering divorce - Burning bridges is fun and all, but it's never worth doing when there are kids involved.
I started thinking when my kid was 7-8 and came to the conclusion to stick a few more years minimum. The end result was me getting D'd instead of giving but I'm good with that ... I could take that emotional blow much better than the spouse. Because of that, the process wasn't an emotional tsunami. In the end, it's just a negotiation like below.
100% agreed and this is a recipe for both custody and financial #winning. It would be interesting comparing our divorce settlements to those ready to duke it out.

Guys, in most cases it's our fault things work out how they do in bad divorces where we get bent over ... here's why.
- You KNOW the cards are stacked against you for alimony and the law has no moral issues using force
- You KNOW the cards are stacked against you for custody and the law has no moral issues using force
- your female is bat shit crazy (your words, not mine). To be fair, their emotional roller coaster and lip flappery are the most defective parts of their anatomy. You know this so why would you expect her to be the adult in this situation?
Be a man. Do the right thing ... if not for your kids, for yourself. Life is better when there's no noose around your neck.
Take the pussy off the pedestal and step away from the podium please.
