Chargers and divorce.

[6pkrtse]

Sorry to hear about your illness & your possible divorce. Don't give up. It takes time but everything will come around. I went thru a divorce & I guess I was the one of the lucky ones. She moved out, I let her take whatever she wanted (took basically half of the house). Once out she was on her own. My kids all chose to stay with me. I was able to keep the kids, house, cars, truck, toys & bills of course. I couldn't be happier. No lawyers. We went in to court, said she has what she wants & so do I. She pays me no child support, I told the judge I didn't want it & I would raise my kids on my own.... We walked out of the court room & went our separate ways. We do our best to keep things civil for the kids the little bit they ever go to see her.

I hope things work out for you.  As for your Charger can it be protected from divorce by putting it into a trust for your son where you are the caretaker/operator of the vehicle until he reaches a 21 or 25 then becomes his?

A little to help you get over this.

The son will be your saving grace as long as you keep a great relationship with him. Fight for 50% custody, not just 50% legal guardianship( just makes you able to make legal decisions,etc)

You will also be happier than you ever knew you could be in time.

A fun idea for the car.....carefully take off the front clip and tell her the motor is blown, too....lessens the value and good for negotiating.

As a general rule, and regardless of the jurisdiction, trying to gift, transfer, or otherwise try to change the ownership of property that is subject to division while in the process of dissolution is not an efficient (and may not be even legal, depending on how/what you do) way to "protect" it.  Now, if she agrees to that, for the benefit of the son, that's a different story.

In short, if the OP has legitimate concerns about what is going to happen to his car, other assets, and more importantly his son,  he needs to not pay attention to the awful "advise" being doled out by these keyboard Michael Cohens and go talk to a local lawyer who is well versed in the jurisdiction's family/divorce laws.

Sorry about how things are going, I suppose most of of have been through a crappy divorce. I got escorted out of my own house and had to hunt a place to live for 4 months until mine was final. I finally got my old house back which she did not want thank goodness and I had to pay her half of what the charger was worth at the time which was 10 years ago. Luckily my daughter which was 13 at the time was told that when she turned 14 she could live with me if she wanted to so the day she turned 14 she called for me to come and get her. She was with me til she left for college and now she is 23 and basically grown. I was glad to have her hanging with her dad tho. If he is 14 then he is old enough to understand some of what is going on but it's still not something that's easy for him or for you....

I'm not sure that I want to know the answer but.....
To the lifelong bachelors, anti-marriage types, etc: What do you do about your sexual urges? Jerk off all the time ? Search for prostitutes?
Buy a $5000 sex doll ?  
I have had some time between women but not years and years. Wouldn't you forget what a woman feels like after awhile?

Hell....I used to get much more sex when I was single. Picking up girls in pubs and clubs each weekend until I found Mrs Right!! Did not find her until I was about 35 (so that was about 20 years of bachelor fun!!) and got married (for the first AND ONLY) time when I was 40. Sex now is probably at usual married couple level....you know, Christmas, Birthdays, when she dings the car and is trying to calm me down!!!

True that, Alf.  Got more pussy by accident when I was single, than on purpose after getting married.  (After the two year honeymoon phase of course).

Jees, Kern, you post some random sh*t.

Try living with this mind of mine. I have random ideas floating around ALL the time. Resisting the urge to say inappropriate  things is a full time job with me.
