MONICA R asked:


Ok, I want to file for a divorce but I am going to continue livin with partner for sake of kids. But dont want nothing from him nor do i want to file for child support or full custody. The packet seems so confusing, it talks about summons and that hes being sued and that we can not be around each other while the court make ther decision or something like that. I just dont understand. I consulted an attorney but im still confused they told me that the court will grant what I want if hes ok with it. The packet says stuff like if thers kids u must fill out the child custody forms and child support. I dont want all of that. again we will continue residing in the same home like a normal family but just not married. Will the court really demand child support and custody forms to be filed? UGH! I just want this over wit….and please no mean comments.
He is behaving in a irresponsible way financially and i dont want him to ***** up my credit over hes stupid decisions. That is why I want the divorce I want to be single and responsible for my own debit. does it make any sense?
correction (my own debt).

   I thought so, but are you sure this isn’t confusing for the kids?

   You can also get legally separated but not divorced.

   I say fill out the forms as best you can just in case and when it comes to the Court to decide, explain the situation to them.

   If you file for and are granted a divorce it is the states responsibility to see to it that the children are being taken care of and that means it has to be on paper. It is a lot easier to get married than it is to dissolve it and if there are kids involved then their best interests have to be the main concern.

   Why would you want a divorce if you are going to keep living there and have a pretend marriage?
   It doesn’t make any sense.

   I believe no matter what you would have to do custody and child support
   for a divorce because at some point you will move on and that will
   need to be worked out so do it like you would want it when you do
   not live together It took 2 years to do my divorce and I don’t think you have to worry about it until it becomes a problem in your situation then you’ll be glad you have it all settled. The child support is for the kids
   and as far as I know you can’t wave it.

   Well if you don’t file for custody he may and then he can just take off with the kids and there’s nothing you can do….

   I don;t get it.,,you want to divorce but still play husband and wife? Makes no sense…..
