moving out and not wanting to pay until a judgement


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AZ

Married a long time. 4 kids, one is 18. My wife and I have not been getting a long for many years. SHe is never available in any way and certainly not sexually. Money has been very tight the last few years. I had my own business for years, and that went well - I sold it to try something new and did not go well. I am now working and making about $2500 a month, the work is somewhat seasonal as there is no work in the summer. We have skated on bankruptcy for years.

Its never going to work out with my wife. I have not wanted to move out. I wanted to be around the kids but over time she has alienated them from me, they have become alienated from me. I now see that this family, me as part of the family etc is over.

I also now have a good friend who is also recently divorced nearby who has an extra room I can rent.

So : I am wanting to move out. Not pay her anything until a divorce attorney decrees it. She/ we will lose the house - I don't care , our credit is in the crapper any way.

1) Can I get in trouble for not doing anything to support her and the kids between the time I move out and a final divorce decree?

2) Any way to predict what sort of monthly payment a judge might rule that I am suppose to pay?

Thank you

Your wife can request interim orders.

Thank you

You are in luck. I was able to borrow the crystal ball from another site. The prediction is you'll be paying a pretty penny to your wife

And I'm sure you've been available to your wife in every single way she could have possibly needed you, right?
It's a two-way street, buster. And the divorce will be as well.

Yeah its pretty messed up. Stupid marriage and stupid situation. We are Mormon. We met on a mission. She had a year left when we met and I got off the mission first. We corresponded, thought we were in love. When she got off her mission we got engaged on our 4th date and married a few months later. I waited almost a year to marry her, since I got off my mission first.

I am sure I was not the ideal husband but I tried to be for many years. SHe was always distant. A few years ago I found her journal (this is something mormons do), laying open - she had been writing in it. She was writing about how much she hated me - I was shocked and read on. I then read all her journals - hundreds of pages detailing how she hated me, wished I was dead etc. It explained alot. Believe me I have paid emotionally over the years - her distance, coldness etc has been horrible.

I no longer want anything to do with THE church (this is sarcastic) which alienates the kids from me even more as I am now apostate and given over to the buffetings of satan (this is also sarcastic, playing on church doctrine).

She never had to work outside the home until recently - has no real job skills and nothing beyond a high school degree.

Can they establish a payment that is more than I make? I am now considering keeping myself poor just so as to keep her from getting any money

I have to admit the church has made great progress - in a recent Ensign they even encouraged women to get a college education before getting married. Back in the day when I served a mission (when SPencer W Kimball was prophet) he said for males the "true order" was mission, marraige and THEN education - how messed up is that to encourage marriage before even the male has a viable way to support the brood.

Why do you think your children should suffer for the actions of your wife?

Yeah I know its pretty messed up. And I should act more rationally - maybe I will one day when I am not so hurt. And hopefully it will motivate her to do something more with her life than laundry and sleep

And I plan to make it known that if the kids come live with me I will step up my work game and make sure they are taken care off. They can live poor or live with me

You gotta win the prize for father of the year. Who cares about the kids so long as you can stick it to the wife! (obviously, not literally )

Yeah, I tried to be husband and dad of the year - got treated and am treated like POS, - so finally after decades, might as well live up to it. And I appreciate the hate - its only encouraging me all the more.
