I live in Georgia and my wife has filed for a divorce and drawn up a sttelment agreement as well. I do not beleive in divorce and I will not sign papers that consent to it.

What happens if I contest. She is going to leave my 401k and stick me with a new 21,000 dollar vehicle and walk with about 6,000 in debt.

My response:

First rule of marriage : You can't keep someone in a marriage if they don't want to be there.

Contesting your divorce will only wind up costing you BIG BUCKS and get the two of you to "Point B" anyway. You can't stop it - - you can only delay it. And "delay" is what costs.

So, my friend, whether you take the easy route and sign the papers, or take the difficult route by contesting the divorce, you're going to eventually get to the same point. The only difference is your choice, and the weight of your wallet when everything is over.

Good luck.

?

My biggest problem is that I do not want to have any records anywhere saying that I agreed to the divorce. Is there anyway I can have that put on the record and be done with it ?

Curious as to the source..

Under this message, click on the button that says "Profile". You'll get all my stats.

It doesn't matter if your agreement is "on the record". If you don't agree voluntarily, then what you're saying is, "I want a contested divorce - - I don't want to make things easy." But, no matter how you get there, you can't stop the divorce, whether you agree or not.

Well, that's fine, and it won't matter to your attorney either. Attorneys love contested divorces. That's because we make lots of "attorney's fees".

So, unless you want to wind up spending a lot of money so it won't "be on the record" that you agreed to the divorce, then by all mean, bring a truckload of money with you to your attorney's office, and your attorney will fight like crazy - - only to end up in the same place.

Good luck to you.
