...from a potentially overzealous wife? My wife and I have been married for 4 years. We have a 3 y.o. boy & 3 dogs. We are both E-5's in the AF and make the same amount of money. Everything is in both our names, a house, 2 cars, credit & checking accnts. She wants the divorce more than I do, but I agree that it's probably for the best.
We are both from broken homes. I would like to keep this as civil as possible b/c I don't want my son to go through the torment I did of 2 parents constantly arguing, fighting, etc.
I am afraid that the first thing she will do is try to move to a different base and that I will not see my son. As everyone knows, the woman has the upper hand and I'm afraid of losing all of my money as well.
I wouldn't think that she would try to screw me over but I kind of get the feeling that is where she is headed. She is currently TDY and just told me to expect papers in the mail. I don't think this is the best route, especially while she's away.
How can I persuade her to keep it friendly? Other advice??
