Part 1: How to catch your partner cheating


Part 1: How to catch your partner cheating
Our Cheating Hearts
We prefer honesty in our relationships, but reality doesn't always measure up to our expectations. Cheating is an everyday occurrence.
Some cheating isn't even considered cheating. Football games are won by trick plays and earn quarterbacks the title of hero, along with multimillion-dollar salaries. Other cheating is entertaining, like the magician's repertoire of card tricks, sleight of hand, and beautiful women who disappear or survive being sawed in half. Military strategy often involves camouflage, which throughout history has won wars, going back to the Trojan horse in ancient Greece.
Most cheating however is undesirable, whether it's a gambler trying to beat the casino, the student who cheats on exams, the citizen who fudges numbers on a tax return, or the CEO who pays himself a multimillion-dollar bonus while shareholder profits plummet. But perhaps the most disappointing, and personally painful, cheating is that which occurs among lovers and spouses. An unwritten expectation of fidelity is the core of our sexual relationships.
We expect our partners not to cheat. Sometimes lovers release each other from that expectation, as in the 1960s and '70s when ''open'' relationships and ''free love'' were part of a sexual revolution that valued experimentation. The vogue continues to a much lesser degree in the twenty-first century. For the most part, when two people are in a committed relationship, monogamy is not only implied, it's assumed. One mate at a time is the expectation when you've given your heart and soul to another.
Fidelity, unless mutually exempted, rules adult sexual relationships and helps bind two persons together. Infidelity, or cheating, is a serious threat to that bond and when suspected needs to be addressed seriously. Cheating rarely can be ignored. The injured party might try to ignore their suspicion, shove it to the back of their mind through some complicated form of self-preservation coupled with denial. But such a defense mechanism rarely works either short or long-term.
The gnawing reality lurks in the background, only to resurface. Cheating when faithfulness is expected by the partner signals something beyond sexual indiscretion is wrong in the relationship. There's a break in the emotional fabric of the relationship, too. Whatever is wrong will not heal itself.
A cheater lives a life of deception based on tricks that go unnoticed. A cheater's success depends on how well they sustain a hidden life. A victim of cheating only survives to the degree they can discover what is being hidden. Whether surviving ultimately means ending the
relationship or healing it, knowing how to catch your cheating lover is the first step. The practical information presented here will help you along your journey.
Online Cheating
Technology has changed relationship cheating forever. Smartphones and computers make it easier than ever before to cheat on a lover or spouse. Email, instant messaging, chat rooms, dating websites, social networking and text messaging mean the cheater doesn't always have to leave home and wander bars to meet a potential partner.
Legitimate online dating sites do not allow married people to use their services, but nothing can be done to keep users from lying about their marital status. Other companies specialize in targeting married persons and lure them to their websites with ads that romanticize infidelity and downplay monogamy. Email spam further entices potential cheaters who might never have thought of being unfaithful but are easily tempted to see what's out there.
Whether deliberately looking for a fling or innocently surfing the Web's romance filled waters, an endless source of willing partners is instantly available for online cheating. Cyberspace provides a safe, seemingly risk-free atmosphere in which to travel, without worries of being seen together in public. Whether at work or at home, a cyber-affair is always convenient, just a mouse click away, even if your spouse or lover is in the next room. Once cyber cheaters connect, the Internet provides a convenient means for the relationship to continue.
Many people do not consider cyber cheating an actual affair because the participants might never meet face to face or have sex. But a cyber affair, even under those circumstances, is in the least emotional cheating. Time and energy are spent with another individual outside the main relationship. The cheater is taking something from their loved one and giving it to another, depriving the spouse or lover of their total involvement. Even when there is no sexual contact, there's an emotional attachment to the comfort that is found logging onto the Internet and finding fulfillment of one sort or another. A need is being fulfilled by a third party and the cheater is depriving the partner of that role, not to mention presumed trust. William Shakespeare said, ''A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.'' An affair by any other name still stinks.
It's a widely held belief among relationship experts that cyber affairs result in real-time sex more often than not. According to surveys by WomanSavers.com, of those who've had an online affair, one-third admits that so-called innocent cyber flirting eventually goes from email and chat-room conversation to telephone calls and finally a sexual encounter. Another study by the Fortino Group shows nearly one-third of all divorce litigation results from online affairs. Odds therefore are not good that a committed relationship can survive online infidelity. One out of three cyber relationships is probably going to escalate into much more than an innocent way to spend time online. Cyber cheating is not the same as online solitaire, even when it involves
avatars in an alternate reality. Ultimately it's between real people who must face the stark realism of heartbreak and damaged relationships.
Technology indisputably enables a cheating lover. The good news is it's far easier to catch a cheater with today's technology. What previously took months even years to uncover can now be learned in less than a week.
Top 10 Traits of a Cheater's Profile
Is everyone a potential cheater? No. But a large number of people think nothing of cheating on their partners. Some are more likely to cheat than others. Psychologists and relationship experts believe that cheaters have certain characteristics in common. Looking at personality traits, family history and past experiences, you help you recognize a cheating heart and mind.
LIKELY CHEATERS HAVE....
Sexual-sophistication
People with active sex lives prior to a committed relationship have a hard time settling down. They're far more likely to stray outside a relationship than someone who's had little sexual experience.
Risk-attraction
Some people find cheating a thrill. The excitement, deception and intrigue feeds them. When presented with an opportunity to cheat, they just can't seem to resist. They need constant watching because it's always easy for them to cheat.
Parental cheating
This is not to say cheating is genetic. But it tends to run in families. A child raised in a household where cheating took place often grows up and considers it normal for partners to be unfaithful to one another.
OCCASIONAL CHEATERS HAVE....
Bad Manners
When a person is discourteous regarding, say, a simple ''thank you'' or appropriate ''excuse me,'' it's because they simply are not considerate of others. This includes their attitude toward animals as well as people. A tried-and-true adage is ''love me, love my dog.'' Some cheaters simply don't have regard for anyone's feelings but their own. Someone who always puts themself first is unlikely to consider how cheating is going to make their partner feel. They're just downright rude.
Opposite-sex "Pals"
A cheater often has lots of close friendships with members of the opposite sex, including ex-lovers. It only takes one of those best-friend situations to blossom into an affair and destroy
an existing relationship. This person feels if you're ''just friends,'' it's safe to cheat and you probably won't get caught.
Cheating Peers
'Birds of a feather flock together.' A person who hangs around with people who cheat is soon to be cheating as well. There's a camaraderie among cheaters; they support each other's exploits and often share secrets about their sexual encounters.
SERIAL CHEATERS HAVE....
Cheating-itis
This person cheats at everything in most areas of their life. They lie not only to their lovers, but to their parents and friends as well. When they were students, they probably cheated on tests and stole books from the library. A toxic flaw in this person is the constant white-lie. Someone who tells lots of lies about little things usually lies about big things, too.
Past cheating
'History tends to repeat itself, and tigers don't change their stripes.' Sure, there's such a thing as a reformed cheater, but it's rare, and only after extensive psychotherapy or a life-changing cataclysm. Seldom does someone with years of cheating suddenly become a model partner. This person has an Olympic-gold medal in covering their tracks, and are not ashamed to recount their past cheating to a current lover.
Bad-repute
This serial cheater is terrible at concealing their past and has a background that would make Casanova blush. The bad-boy/girl reputation follows this cheater wherever they go. Everyone knows about this person, everyone except their current partner. Often people will approach the innocent party and come right out and ask if your lover, or spouse, is cheating on you, too. Usually, when you're being cheated you're the last to know.
ALPHA-CHEATERS HAVE...
(a category all their own)
Infidelity-Mania
This is perhaps the most potentially dangerous partner of all, because cheating is a life-long compulsion....OCI (Obsessive Compulsive Infidelity). There are people, men and women alike, who believe monogamy is an unnatural state and there's nothing morally wrong with being unfaithful to someone who presumes your trust and exclusivity. OCI's truly believe cheating is
an antidote to boredom, or any shortcoming, in a relationship. This serial-cheater will have an affair at the drop of a hat and knows how to hide everything. Catching this one is hardest of all.
It's unlikely anyone has all ten traits, but several often occur in combination. Two to four traits are common. Yet even a single trait, when predominant, can indicate that your loved one is cheating. Familiarizing yourself with traits in a cheater's personality can go a long way toward helping you find the truth when you suspect cheating. Forewarned and forearmed, you will be better equipped to catch your cheating lover or spouse.
Investigation 101 - Basics & Guidelines
If you've ever fantasized about living the life of a sleuth, here's your chance. Investigating a cheating lover is no different than investigating any case you read in newspapers, see on TV or watch on film. Your most fundamental tools are your eyes and ears. You only need to hone your observation, listening and information gathering skills. With the methods and tools suggested here, you'll be using the techniques employed by detectives and private investigators for ages. You don't need to be James Bond or Agatha Christie. All you need is a desire for the truth and the willingness to persevere until you find it.
Catching a sneaky, lying, conniving cheater can be accomplished by anyone with a little determination and effort. A few rules and guidelines used by professional investigators will get you started, and well on your way to uncovering the truth about what's really going on in your relationship.
INVESTIGATOR BASICS
DOs....
Trust your intuition
If you think there's cheating, there's a good chance it's taking place. Have faith in your ability to uncover the truth, dispassionately and thoroughly.
Stay calm
Face reality, and accept that it's possible your partner is cheating.
Be observant
Take off the blinders, and notice all the little signs that are staring right at you. Notice, for example, if your lover is on edge or acting guilty, disconnected, less fun, or telling you how miserable they are. These subtleties are important.
Listen to what other people are saying
If your partner is cheating on you, someone else knows and there's sure to be gossip. Just make sure it's not idle gossip before you act on it.
Discuss boundaries
Know what's important to your partner, what they value. If a person says it's okay that Ryan or Kate is cheating, they probably think its okay for everyone to cheat.
DON'Ts....
Don't make accusations without evidence
If your partner is innocent, you'll only hurt their feelings. If they're guilty, you'll just be warning them to cover their tracks better, and making it harder to catch them. Don't confront your partner until you are 100% positive they're cheating. Confronting a loved one with cheating, whether they're guilty or innocent, has the potential to change your life permanently.
Don't monopolize
Don't think you can limit cheating by monopolizing your partner's time; it will only make them want more time away from you.
Don't even consider going after the third party
It will only make your partner defend them. Cheating is between you and your partner. If something were not wrong in your relationship, there wouldn't be any cheating.
Don't ask your friends or relatives to spy for you
You run the risk of their wanting to spill the beans to the cheater to help save your relationship, or worse yet take sides against you.
Don't think this problem will go away on its own
Face the unpleasant fact this person doesn't mind hurting you....and don't be afraid to consider dumping them.
INVESTIGATOR GUIDELINES
Keep a journal or calendar
Record collected evidence, dates, times, places. Also keep a diary of your partner's activities, people he sees, excuses, etc. A micro-cassette recorder is a professional detective's gadget-of-choice. It can be slipped into a pocket and is easily available for taking notes whenever you find a valuable piece of evidence, and for recording reminders to yourself. This information will be useful to compare against any bills or credit card receipts you find.
Study simple techniques of lie detection
A library book is all you need. Learn how to interpret physical signs like eye contact, vocal tone, facial expression, sweating, twitching, etc. Note speech mannerisms that reveal lying, such as delayed response to questions, avoidance techniques, excessive speaking, exaggerations, use of humor or sarcasm an evasive ploy when questioned.
Learn how to follow someone without their detecting you
Use a car whenever possible, wear a disguise, take binoculars and a still-camera, preferably with telephoto lens. Never follow a suspected cheater when they're leaving the home you share; if they're guilty, that's when they're most cautious. Always have a back-up story ready in case you're spotted.
Make allies
Stay friendly with your partner's friends and converse with them often to learn if your partner is truthful about how much time is spent with them.
Uncomfortable calls
Call often, whether your partner says they're at work or ''out with friends.'' Note background noises, or if there's an uncomfortable tone in your partner's voice because someone else is present.
Make surprise visits and depart from your usual routine
Show up at your partner's workplace unannounced, or come home unexpectedly from shopping or work. Make a special announcement that you'll be working late, but come home early.
Set a few simple, but tactical traps, to aid your investigation
Once you've begun uncovering evidence, you'll come up with ways of your own to uncover whatever information you need to prove you're being cheated. Here are a few examples of simple set-ups that help catch a cheater.
Send a gift without a card
If your partner asks you if you're the sender, they're not cheating. If there's no mention, the odds are pretty good they're involved with someone else.
Fake a trip with friends
Then watch your house from a distance to see who visits when you're not expected, or if your partner doesn't come home at all because you're away. Call the house to see when and if anyone answers.
Ask someone to hit on your partner
Make sure it's only an acquaintance, not a friend who might want to help you by intervening, nor a mutual friend who might be tempted to tell all and warn your partner. If you don't know anyone who can help, you can hire someone for a small price. A local actor or drama student at a nearby college would be good choices.
Check the bed
If you suspect someone's been sleeping in your bed when you're not home, make an identifying fold in the covers, or plant something inside the covers that will fall or become dislodged the next time the bed is used. This is a sure way to catch any dalliance when you're not around.
Monitor their internet surfing
If you're worried about excessive online activity, mention it to your partner. If they say their activity is harmless, or make light of your concern, ask if you can sit beside them while they're 'innocently' surfing, visiting networking sites or participating in a chat room. If there's no cheating involved, your partner will welcome your involvement and interest. If they're unwilling to let you participate in their online relationships, you can be sure there's cheating involved, either online or in real time.
Searching For Tell-Tale Signs
When the gnawing feeling that your loved one is cheating won't go away, it's time to begin a serious search. By familiarizing yourself with common signs of a cheater's demeanor and lifestyle, you will be better equipped to discover whether your lover in fact is involved in an extracurricular relationship. The characteristics of a cheating lover apply equally to males and female. A cheating boyfriend, cheating girlfriend, or cheating spouse will exhibit the same behavioral signs and patterns.
There are many clues that indicate your twosome has become a threesome. No one sign, or any one area with several signs, indicates there's an affair behind your back. But a combination of signs needs to be taken seriously when looking for evidence that will lead to catching someone who indeed is unfaithful.
PERSONAL INDICATORS
Energy
People who are cheating often exhibit a sudden, unexplainable surge of energy. Actually, it only seems unexplainable. The source of all that newly found vim and vigor is partially endorphin related. Clandestine affairs can be thrilling and exciting, especially to the serial cheater. The mystery, the intrigue, and the risk are intoxicating. Especially in the beginning, it can make someone feel ''alive again,'' renewed and refreshed. Or, the cheater simply needs to muster more energy to constantly keep covering their trail. Lying and cheating on a daily basis are hard work.
Exercise and weight-loss
Suddenly your partner begins to ''get in shape.'' Maybe they join a gym or health club and never invite you. Either there's an affair already established, or your partner is trolling the treadmills looking for someone. Health-clubs are prime pick-up locations. Or, perhaps your partner has started buying what seems like every piece of exercise equipment, gadget or diet pill sold on late-night TV. People having affairs often start working out at home, or outside the home, and improving their physical appearance and enhancing their attractive factor.
Sleep
New awake or goodnight times usually accompany cheating. Whether it's to accommodate more time away from home, or provide more time alone on the computer, the cheating spouse or lover's sleep schedule changes. Anxiety over an affair also can disturb sleep patterns.
Diet
People having affairs frequently acquire new tastes in food, often influenced by a new lover. Suddenly, a person begins eating differently. Buffalo wings get replaced by escargots. Not only does the usual can of beer become a glass of wine, or vice versa, you might notice a difference in alcohol consumption. Either there's a need to keep pace with a new person, or someone might be using progressively more alcohol to help them deny they're living a lie.
Hair/Grooming
A change in hairstyle and personal grooming often occurs in a person who is cheating on a relationship. Suddenly one's gray hairs begin to matter when there's a new lover. It's not unusual for the person to change their hair color completely, or go from long to short hair. It's also not uncommon for a slob to become the epitome of neatness. The cheating party no longer enjoys their scruffy, unkempt appearance and has a desire to present themself in the best light possible.
Fashion
A person having an affair often begins dressing differently, and starts buying new clothes. One's wardrobe goes from ''ugh'' to stylish. Hipper, trendier or more youthful clothing appears. Either your partner wants a new ''look'' for a new love life, or your mate is being influenced by someone else's style. If a denim and leather wardrobe morphs into silk and satin, it could be an effort to please a new lover.
Fragrance
If your loved one is using a new cologne, it might be part of an overall makeover to create a new image. Or, it could be a new perfume that was a gift from a lover. When people have a reason to make themselves more attractive, perfume or cologne is one of the first places they start. When a person is making a change in their love life, they tend to change many things; some seem inconsequential, but when added together, they all mean something. The sum often is greater than the parts. It goes without saying when your partner has not changed their fragrance, but smells differently, it's always the residual smell of someone else's cologne or perfume. The nose knows how to sniff out a cheating lover.
Jewelry
If your man or woman is wearing unexplained, new jewelry it can be a dead giveaway they're cheating. Jewelry is one of the first gifts lovers give each other. It doesn't matter if it's expensive, because the sentimental value might be a far more serious threat to your relationship that an 18kt gold watch. Likewise, the absence of jewelry on your lover or spouse is also notable, especially if it's a piece of jewelry which you had given them and they are no longer wearing. Why? Is it lost? Is your partner not wearing it because they don't want to be reminded of you while they're cheating? When a spouse is cheating, the first thing to go is the wedding ring. In the case of a married woman, she begins wearing her wedding and/or engagement ring on the right hand, and offers no logical explanation for the shift.
Lifestyle
When one's taste in entertainment, say, goes from comedy clubs to ballet...or your partner suggests a night at the opera when movies and pizza are all you've ever done on a Friday night...you might be witnessing the influence of a secret lover. Or, all of a sudden your partner's taste in music goes from Bruce Springsteen to John Mayer, or they suddenly trade inn the Volvo for a Corvette, without forewarning or discussing it.
Finances
Cheating costs money, and new charges start appearing on credit card and phone bills. Florists, clothing stores, jewelers, hotels, car rental, and airlines often appear. Additional email accounts, online dating services, pre-paid cellphones, and new electronic gadgets are also expenses which can be related to cheating.
RELATIONSHIP CHANGES
Sex
It's extremely rare for a cheater's sex life not to be changed by a secret dalliance. The cheater's appetite for sex with their old partner can change even before the new affair includes sex. The cheating spouse or lover will either want more or less sex with the regular partner. Often there's a request for experimental sex, signaling desires that never before needed to be met. Sex might also become mechanical, often accompanied by little cuddling, hugging or hand-holding outside sex.
Together-time
A person who's cheating spends less time with you, and when you're together it's not the same. There's usually a distance between you, with the other person off somewhere daydreaming. They just aren't ''there'' with you, like it used to be. Either they fail to hear a question, or answer with a grunt. The cheating lover is usually thinking about somewhere else they'd like to be, often with someone other than you.
Absence
Excuses for leaving the house abound. The cheater becomes a master at them. There are sudden or extended trips to the store, often at odd hours. Excessive dog-walking becomes obvious. Any time away from home is a perfect opportunity for a brief meeting or phone call.
Friends & Family
Suddenly the cheating lover prefers the two of you spend more time in groups. Your weekends alone together disappear. Romantic dinners give way to pot-luck suppers with nearly everyone you know, or picnics with three generations of family. On the other hand, when a person is cheating, they might lose complete interest in your relatives, children, or long-time friends. They don't want to be with them any more than with you, preferring to be with someone else. Where children are involved, the cheater often begins to shirk shared responsibilities, like care taking, car pooling and meal times. Worse yet, your partner develops an entirely new set of friends that doesn't include you. They prefer to party without you, promise to be home before midnight, but stagger in at 3 a.m. smelling freshly showered, or of someone else's perfume or cologne. You can be pretty sure this was not a late business meeting, or an innocent night with old school chums.
Gifts
It's an old cliche, but true. A cheating partner invariably begins buying you gifts for no apparent reason, when the real purpose is to alleviate guilt. Gold jewelry, unexpected flowers, expensive clothing, sentimental cards, favorite food and candy are staples of the unfaithful man or woman.
BEHAVIOR TRAITS
Fantasizing
A cheating lover is living a fantasy. They believe they can be in a committed relationship, have a secret affair, and never get caught. Once the fantasy starts, it spills over into other areas of their life. Grandiose business schemes or serious talk about relocating permanently to Tahiti creep into the conversation. Reality and fantasy morph into one huge blur.
Discontent
The cheating person often displays mood-swings exclusively in your presence, going from overly pleasant and ingratiating to irritable or defensive. It's not unusual for them to complain of boredom with your life together. A cheater will say things like 'I need more space' and 'I feel so trapped,' or vaguely claim 'something's missing in our relationship.' Out of the blue, a cheater will want to ''hypothetically'' discuss breaking up or a trial separation.
Lying
When you question a cheating partner about specific events, things never really add up, and their answers raise even more questions. Liars often avoid looking you directly in the eye and frequently shift their eyes. They will blush, stutter, stumble over their words, hesitate in their speech, hold their breath, or twitch. A lying person often fumbles with objects and drops things. They'll over-react and use drama to distract you from your question and avoid telling the truth.
Evasiveness/curtness
When a cheating spouse is living a lie, they become evasive and curt in casual conversation. They want to reveal as little information about themselves as possible, to avoid the risk of letting something slip and inadvertently cause suspicion. They constantly change the subject rather than answer a simple question like ''Have you seen so-and-so lately?" Mr. or Ms So-and-so might not be their lover, but might somehow be connected, so they're not safe territory for a person who's unfaithful.
WORK HABITS
Schedule
When someone is cheating on you, their work schedule allegedly changes. They begin leaving the house earlier in the morning, and coming home later at night. The routine changes to accommodate extracurricular activities, whether it's spending time with a new love or just needing more time alone. A nine-to-five desk job suddenly requires long explained absences from the workplace. Or, sometimes a cheater actually will be working more, if only to be anywhere other than home, or to make extra money for wooing a new lover.
Access
All of a sudden, your partner is not reachable at work; either they're not at the workplace or they're in meetings and ''can't be disturbed.'' Your phone calls go unanswered, and so does your email. The mobile phone gets turned off, or is ''out of range.'' No longer does your partner call you in the middle of the day, just to see how you're doing. In addition, you're specifically asked not to drop by if they're working late.
Workload
There are marked changes in the nature of a cheating person's job description. More travel is required, longer and farther trips are suddenly necessary. Furthermore, you are no longer invited to tag along on a business trip. There also might be an increase in after-work and dinner meetings that used to occur infrequently, if at all.
PHONE SIGNALS
Mobile Phone
A person who's cheating tends to become nervous when their cell phone rings your presence, and they'll try and hide the caller-ID screen. In addition, you'll probably notice an increase in calls that go unanswered when the two of you are together. Text messaging might also increase, because it's a perfect way for cheaters to communicate even when you're around. Take particular note of your partner's face if he reads a text message in front of you. If it brings a warm and fuzzy smile to their face, it's probably not a business-only message. In this case, it's more likely you're witnessing cheating first-hand.
Phone cards
A person who's cheating sometimes purchases a pre-paid, disposable mobile phone or pager which they believe will facilitate private calls and communication. If either of these appear suddenly, and there's no business reason for them, recognize this is typical among people who are hiding an affair.
ONLINE TENDENCIES
Password
Cheaters have their computers password protected, or locked, so you can never use them. If you ask permission to use their computer, they won't give you the password, but insist on logging in for you. If they do give the password, they'll soon change it.
Email Accounts
Several different email accounts on the same computer are common when someone is cheating. This is how they receive emails from the person with whom they're cheating, or from dating websites they're using to meet new people. A separate account might exist solely for chat rooms.
Internet Usage
People who are cheating often spend unusually large amounts of time on the computer, mostly late at night after you've gone to bed, or early in the morning before you awake, or when you're not around. If you're in the house and happen to enter the room, they'll typically switch screens or close browser windows. When you ask a simple question like "Find anything interesting on the 'net?" you'll get an abrupt "No,'' or they'll change the subject.
History
People who want to hide their internet tracks will continually clear their history and frequently remove cookies. There's never a trace of any sites they've visited, even ones that are not sex or dating related.
Collecting Clues
Even the most cunning cheater is careless and forgetful at times. Looking for clues in all the right places invariably leads to valuable evidence that will help you catch a cheating lover. Here's where to 'look for love in all the wrong places.'
POCKETS/PURSE/WALLET
Check jacket or coat pockets and turn them inside out. Don't forget jeans, sweaters, shirts. Take everything out of a wallet or purse, including paper money and credit cards to see if anything is in between. You might find a receipt, scrap of paper or ID card with a phone number and name scribbled on it. People write on anything when they're in a hurry. The best time for this search is when you expect the other person will be gone for a long period of time, for instance, when they're at work. You don't want to get caught red-handed, with everything spread out. You can have a quick look when they're in the shower, but that would not be a good time for an extensive search of wallet or purse.
CLOSET
Lot's of things fall on the closet floor, especially when someone hangs up their pants or jeans. Look behind any shoes or luggage on the floor, in the corners, and hard to reach places. Keep an eye out for anything unusual, like credit card receipts, matchbooks, ticket stubs, or notes. Don't forget to check shelves, especially higher ones, even if you need a stool to reach them. Top shelves are favorite hiding places, especially for a box of love letters or financial papers. People hide things in places they think you'll never look because they're inconvenient. The least likely place is probably where you'll find the best evidence.
HOME OFFICE/DESK/WASTEBASKET
This method of investigation could be called ''in-home dumpster diving.'' People think if they rip something into little pieces and throw it into the trash, no one will ever know about it, that it's disappeared never to be found or seen again. Sometimes you have to go through the trash and collect bits of ripped paper and tape or glue them together, even if it takes two hours, to find the incriminating evidence you need. Torn pieces might at first look like an official interoffice memo on yellow legal paper, but when you piece them together, they might reveal a suggestive or flirtatious note to a coworker. Even though it was ripped up and never sent, it shows intent, or might be a first-draft of a note that actually did get sent.
Look through the desk, for any notes from a third-party, perhaps inside a box of stationery or business cards. Leave no desk drawer unopened; search thoroughly, and often.
Carefully examine any personal items related to work -- briefcase, date book, organizer, address book. Remember, a cheater often records their lover's phone number under a pseudonym, code-word, or another person's name.
CAR
Things always get left in cars. Look in the glove compartment, under the seats, in cup holders, behind the visor, under floor mats and in the trunk. Check ashtrays in the front and back seats for notes, tissues, and small personal items. Are there cigarette butts when your partner doesn't smoke? Check for hairs on the seat or headrest. Are the seat positions, especially on the
passenger side, the same as they've always been? Has someone other than you or your lover been driving the car? Check the radio and CD's to see if your partner's taste in music has changed. Are the stations set the same as they always were? Is there a CD by a musician your partner has never liked before?
Keep track of mileage. Know the distance between home and work. Check the odometer at night and record the mileage. The next night, check it again. Excessive mileage could mean a rendezvous either during lunch, office hours or on the way home from work. Too little mileage might also be a clue that your partner never even went to work that day and spent it with a lover.
If it's ten miles to the office, every time your lover goes to the office, whether in the morning or back to work after dinner, the odometer should read roughly twenty miles more. Sometimes your partner has to go back to work at night if there is an emergency or an urgent meeting is called. If the return and the mileage is nowhere near a roundtrip's distance, you'll be safe to assume there was no trip back to the office. If the normal twenty-mile round trip is only ten miles, you'd be smart to check within a five-mile radius of your home, especially for motels or restaurants, and try to corroborate this finding with any credit card charges. Starting with the odometer often leads to more evidence.
WORKPLACE
If your partner owns their own business and you have access to the keys, getting into the office will be easy. There's always an extra set of keys to someone's business, or find a way to duplicate them. Wait until they leave work and no one else is there. Enter with a large bag or small piece of luggage for ''office dumpster diving.'' Rummage through desk drawers, file cabinets and trash cans. When you're home alone the next day, examine the trash and anything else you found. You never know when you'll come across a love note, hotel receipt, airplane ticket, photographs, etc. Be on the lookout especially for handwritten notes, because most office communications are printed.
When your lover or spouse doesn't own their business, you have to invent an excuse for access to an office or desk in a large, busy place. Visit when you know your partner won't be there, pretending you were in the neighborhood and forgot they were out that day. Think of an excuse to use their phone or leave a note; call anyone, even listen to a dial tone, while pretending to look through desk drawers for paper or pen. Have a good story ready, in case someone walks in, like wanting to leave a surprise love note.
People having affairs think its safe to hide photographs and personal correspondence at work. Big mistake on their part. They're also sloppy about leaving notes to or from the third party lying around at work, along with gift, restaurant and hotel receipts. Scoop up anything suspicious, and don't forget the trash. Just as at home, torn handwritten notes found in the trash can be pieced together and provide valuable clues to what is going on with a cheating lover.
JOURNAL
We live in an online world, but many people still keep handwritten journals and diaries. Men and women alike often have a need to express their feelings and tell the whole truth when they're living a lie. There remains a need to set things straight, to tell the story ''the way it is.'' It's a perfect place to confirm suspicions or dispel them.
Think carefully before reading someone's personal writings without their knowledge. It's always a violation of trust. If you find nothing, you will have to live with what you've done, and risk the other person finding out. However, if you do find something, it will more than justify your invasion of privacy. After all, the other person violated your trust first with lies and deception.
Always give careful consideration before invading someone's privacy. Proceed only if your suspicions are strong enough or there are other clues to warrant such a transgression on your part.
BILLS & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Check phone bills. Look for late-night calls and unrecognizable phone numbers.
Check bank statements for unusual withdrawals or deposits; notice any checks made to a realtor or landlord you don't know, to see if your partner is providing housing for someone else. Carefully go through credit card statements and note any unrecognizable travel charges for airplane tickets or hotel. Look for restaurant charges that seem excessive or non-business related. Check store charges for expensive gifts that you didn't receive, especially jewelers, clothing boutiques, and florists.
Check their Phone
A cheating partner, who is careless or forgets about caller ID, is often caught when they lie about where they are when they call you. Even if they are calling from an unlisted number, caller ID can help you catch a cheater in a lie. Say your partner's work number always displays on your caller ID screen. If they lie about their location and your screen is reading ''private'' or ''unknown'' caller, you'll know they're not at work.
Caller ID works whether or not you answer a call or are present at the time. Most devices store as many as 100 incoming numbers until they're deleted. This can help you know who is calling and who your partner might be speaking to when you're not around.
REDIAL
If you are witnessing excessive phone use behind closed doors, especially late at night, you can check their phone call history for the number and sometimes the name of the person who's cheating with your lover, provided the number is listed and unblocked. If you notice recurring calls to a number you haven't seen before and aren't in their contact list you could try giving it a call and see who picks up.
Block your caller ID
While gathering evidence from your own phone, whether at home, work or using your mobile phone, always disable it by going to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID and switch it off (iPhone). You don't want your number showing up on someone else's caller ID screen. Your number is automatically blocked, but it's still a good habit to block your caller ID whenever you're sleuthing. You might find yourself in a situation where the only available phone has a listed number that can be traced to you. You don't want to get caught doing the catching.
REVERSE PHONE SEARCH
If you have a suspicious phone number, and want to find out to whom it belongs, you can utilize an Internet search engine designed specifically for this purpose. This is an excellent way to research the numbers you.
A number of online companies provide access to databases containing millions of records related to landline, mobile, and even unlisted phone numbers. This information is collected from public information and confidential sources. A reverse phone search will give you the name of the person, the exact address, other phone numbers belonging to the person, the person's address history, and satellite maps. These websites allow you to look up one number at a time, and also offer memberships that give access to an unlimited number of numbers. For additional fees, these services provide background checks on any name you uncover.
PHONE MONITORING
It's illegal for private individuals to record or listen to someone's telephone conversation without their knowledge.
A tempting supply of bugs, taps, recording and listening devices, bluetooth software, etc. is easily available for spying on a cheating lover or spouse. These can be purchased at electronics stores, and readily online. Their use however is highly frowned upon, even by professional private investigators. There are so many legal ways to catch a cheater, you don't have to risk going to jail.
Furthermore, any evidence gathered this way cannot be used as evidence in court cases where cheating results in divorce.
Cyber Snooping
A cheating lover or spouse can be involved in an online affair, using the computer to find dates, communicating with a secret lover through email, hooking up in chat rooms, or networking on social sites. Whichever activity, there are several resources to help you identify cyber-cheating and catch the culprit.
EMAIL ADDRESS FINDER
If you discover an email address while investigating your partner, you can use an Internet search engine to find out the name, address and phone number of the person who owns the account. This reverse search is similar to a reverse phone search. Email search systems access the same databases used by law enforcement and licensed private investigators, and this kind of record search is entirely legal. You get immediate access to the information you need simply by typing an email address into a template.
You can also use an email database to do a direct email address search. If you find a person's name on a slip of paper or elsewhere among your partner's possessions, simply enter the person's name and you will have instant access to worldwide databases with millions of email addresses.
If you have the name of a person you suspect is cheating with your partner, you can also use these same search engines to conduct background checks that will tell you a person's work history, driving record, criminal record, court documents, etc. You have the option of a one-time search, or you can purchase a membership with unlimited searches.
COMPUTER MONITORING SOFTWARE
In recent years, people have begun using sophisticated technology to uncover whether their partner is having a cyber-affair, or otherwise communicating with a secret lover via computer. Computer monitoring software has come a long way in recent years. Invisible software is able to gather information about a computer's activities without the knowledge of the user.
Before you conduct computer spying on a suspected cheater, know that it's only legal to investigate a computer if you have shared ownership, or if you advise the computer's owner in advance that you will be monitoring their activity. Become familiar with laws governing computer privacy in your state or jurisdiction. Following are some of the computer activities you are able to monitor with special software.
Email/Chat/Instant Messaging
Computer monitoring software can help you catch a cheating partner by recording all computer activity, including that of private email accounts set up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as Web-based e-mail such as Gmail. The monitoring software tells you if the email was sent or received, date and time the email was sent, its content, plus attachments which you can open. Even if the email is deleted by the person who received it, it's still saved on the monitor program.
You also can monitor instant messaging and chat room activity. You won't have to wonder about who is saying what to whom, because both sides of the messaging are recorded. Cheating lovers and spouses feel this communication is safer than email because it's not saved. But with monitoring software, a separate recording is made of these activities for your later viewing, whether the cheater deletes them or not.
Internet Browsing
Monitoring software allows you to track all the websites visited by your suspected cheater. If you think your loved one is visiting a dating site and has set up a profile on one of them, you can find out which sites are being accessed. Social networking sites can also be monitored, to see if your loved one is trying to find new relationships or killing time by sharing intimate details of his or her life.
You not only can see which websites are visited, you can also see how much time is spent on a site, what time of day the site is being accessed, and exactly how many visits have been made to a particular web address. This will tell you if you're dealing with innocent surfing, or serious cheating.
Keystrokes
The ability to record keystrokes is important not only to see what is written on a computer, but also for capturing usernames and passwords. You'll be able to see what your loved one wrote to another, but also when they change their mind, decide not to say something, and delete it. You even can read a document that never was saved or printed.
Screenshots
The word-alert screenshot feature of monitoring software is based on a list of words you've created to trigger the screenshot. For instance, your list might include the words ''kiss,'' ''hug,'' or ''sex.'' Whenever these words are typed by either your loved one or the other party, a screenshot is taken and you can see everything on the computer screen, as if you were right there. This feature is particularly revealing if your cheater is engaging in web-cam chat. You'll not only have a record of the chat, but you'll get to see what the person looks like who's cheating with your partner.
Web-Based/Remote Monitoring
Most monitoring software can only be accessed when you are physically on the target computer. Latest technology allows you to monitor a computer from another location. Also called invisible
or web-based monitoring, this feature allows you to monitor a computer from any other computer via the Internet, once you've installed the software on the target computer. If you leave town, you can monitor a target computer, even if you've traveled thousands of miles cross-country. Or, if the computer you are monitoring is a laptop, it doesn't matter how far it travels you can still record it's activity and access the information.
KEYSTROKE LOGGER/RECORDER
This is a simple device which records and stores every incoming and outgoing stroke on a computer. It's a small device, about the size of a flashdrive, that inserts into the computer's USB slot.
A keystroke recorder's advantage is it provides access to a computer without needing the password, and will even capture the password. The disadvantage of a keystroke logger is it's visible on the back of the computer. It's the first place a cheater is going to look if they're trying to cover their tracks. If you want to risk being found out, you can briefly install one of these devices on a computer, if only to get a password. You then will have full access email, browser history, chat room activity, or computer files.
Surveillance Gear
GPS TRACKER
In most jurisdictions, it's only legal to track a vehicle which you own. If you do not co-own your partner or spouse's car, you can install a GPS tracker on your car and lend it to your suspected cheater. Always check with an attorney if you are in doubt about privacy laws regarding the vehicle you want to track.
GPS trackers fit in the palm of your hand. You can opt for an active GPS tracker which operates in real-time, sending a location every 5 or 10 seconds. A very common form of this is an Apple AirTag. If you have an iPhone it's very easy to sync them up and start tracking their location in minutes. You can even create notifications that alert you when they arrive or leave from certain places. So let's say your significant other suspiciously leaves their workplace during lunch, it will give you an alert.
HIDDEN CAMERAS
Tiny cameras, known as Nanny Cams, are sometimes as small as a penny, others can be hidden inside a writing pen. Cameras can masquerade as a smoke detector, wall clock, desk lamp, radio, necktie, or other covert systems.
There's a lot of equipment available, but it's not all top quality. There's nothing more disappointing than purchasing a video system that can barely send a signal across the room. Familiarize yourself with video camera fundamentals before making a purchase. Your local electronics store personnel can offer solid advice, and various online sources provide extensive information about their products. Basically Nanny Cams are mini TV stations, a camera with a transmitter built inside. The camera transfers video to your phone and backs it up so you can view it later.
Another consideration is whether you're going to record audio. It's perfectly legal to record video images of another person in your home or on your property, if there is no expectation of privacy, say in a bathroom. But it's never legal to intercept their oral communication. If you end up using your spy-cam video in a divorce case, you don't want to risk having it thrown out of court because you also recorded audio. You probably are best off with a video-only camera for spying on a suspected cheater when you're not around, or they're behind closed doors. If you haven't recorded audio, you won't have to worry about an angry cheater suing you for invasion of privacy when you present your evidence.
Hiring a Private Investigator
Whether to hire a private investigator to help catch a cheating partner is a big decision. Consider that some cheaters are expertly skilled at lying and covering their tracks, especially if they feel you're suspicious. Cheaters are often professional liars, and you might need professional help to get to the truth.
A private investigator is an excellent way to discover the truth because the investigator is not emotionally involved and will be more objective and impartial than you. Even usually clear-thinking people trying to catch a cheater on their own become so upset by what they uncover that they lose perspective and objectivity. Other people are naturally suspicious and paranoid, and can see infidelity where none exits. In both instances a private investigator is a good idea. A professional has the advantage of knowing how to investigate a cheater without imagining things that aren't there. The worst thing anyone can do is falsely accuse an innocent partner of having an affair.
Another reason to hire a PI is for your own well-being and sanity. It's not always a good idea to witness the affair yourself. When you have an urgent need to learn the extent of an affair or identify your cheater's lover, being faced with stark reality might affect you more adversely than you expect. Scorned lovers have been known to lose their cool and do things to harm themselves or others. Emotionally fragile people who suspect cheating should not hesitate to get someone to do the dirty work for them
The PI is an experienced professional who has been trained in surveillance and uncovering evidence. A professional has more resources and owns the proper equipment. A private individual, trying to figure out if their partner is cheating, can waste months of valuable time because they lack the proper investigative tools and skills. Furthermore, the PI has a government license to gather evidence and conduct surveillance and is aware of laws governing such activity.
If you're married, and you feel your situation might end in divorce, hiring an investigator is a smart decision. When there are children involved, whether or not you're married, it's always wise to have a professional investigation when you go before a judge to discuss custody issues. A thorough investigation might also help you determine to which extent you want a liar and cheat in your child's life at all. In court hearings, it's always a plus to have a PI testify on your behalf and present concrete evidence that won't get thrown out of court by the judge. You might find lots of evidence on your own, but some of it might have been gathered illegally.
The major drawback to hiring a private investigator is cost. Investigating a cheater can be expensive. Depending on what you need, rates begin around one-hundred dollars per hour, and go up from there. If you live in a large city, hiring a PI can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Fees are less in smaller towns but hourly rates anywhere can add up quickly. In the end however the expense might be worth every penny. You will have to decide if this is a situation where you don't want to be 'penny wise and pound foolish.' Not hiring an investigator might end up costing you more in the long run, both financially and emotionally.
Once you decide to hire an investigator, know there are different areas of private investigation. Make sure you select a PI whose expertise is infidelity investigation. Preferably, get a recommendation from an attorney or friend you trust. Or, check your local yellow-pages directory or search online for an investigator who specializes in domestic, matrimonial or spousal investigation.
Conclusion - NOW WHAT?
You've done all the work, collected the evidence, maybe even hired a private investigator.
There's solid evidence you're the victim of a cheating lover or spouse. Now you have to decide
what you're going to do next. Do you want to work on your relationship? Or do you want this person out of your sight forever?
There's no easy solution. Someone's cheated on you. You might be dealing with years of commitment, children, friends, relatives, and finances. Your next step could make a drastic change in your life. It's difficult, confusing and scary. On one hand it would be easier to look the other way and forget about what you've learned. On the other, you have to make a decision about what is right for you, do you stay or do you go?
Heavy emotions are natural when you discover your partner is cheating. Early reactions are disbelief, anger, jealousy, revenge and guilt to name a few. Be sure your emotions aren't clouding your thinking and influencing your decisions. Step back and give yourself as much time as you need to calmly and rationally confront your partner. Don't react emotionally and don't overreact. It's easier said than done, but take time to pull yourself together, think rationally, and decide how to proceed in your best interest.
Confide in a close friend, or seek professional counseling. If you're married, consult a lawyer, especially if there are children involved. Consider your options and the consequences. You might be willing to forgive and work to heal the relationship, but once confronted your partner might decide to leave you and be with the other person.
The only thing you can be sure of is yourself. Keep strong to your belief that you want and deserve a peaceful, loving relationship based on honesty and trust. With that in mind you are well on your way to re-establishing your relationship with a cheating partner by whatever means it takes. You will find a way to forgive and forget, if that is what you want. Or you will emerge strong and energized, able to face the future and start a new life.
All endings are new beginnings. Rediscover your hopes and dreams. Above all, have no regrets. A search for truth is never in vain.
Part 2: Dump/Divorce a Cheater (Get rid of them)
How to file for divorce
When you are filing for divorce, you will want to notify the court that you are going to proceed with the dissolution of your marriage. This is something that means you are not able to work the marriage out any more and you want to put it to an end. You will file a summons and petition the court in your county. Ultimately it is then in the courts hands and you will have to wait to hear when the actual hearing will be to determine the next step.
Before you decide to file for divorce, you will want to choose the proper state and county to file your papers. In order to start your divorce proceedings, you will want to make sure that you are going to the right place first. You must make sure that the divorce is occurring in the county where you or your spouse lives.
You must make sure that you are ready for the long haul in a divorce. You will find that the proceedings will go on until a conclusion is reached about all of the issues that are brought up. This can take a short time or a longer period of time depending on the issues and what each party is ready to do about it. There are going to be many different alternatives in a divorce proceeding. You will want to make sure that you are open minded and going into the process with good intentions at the same time.
You may have to go to court in order to figure out what is best for you and your family. You may have to talk to a judge and let them decide for you if you are not able to come to a resolution together. The judge will take into consideration everything that is said so that he can make the best decision for everyone that is involved in the proceedings. You may want to make sure that you are ready for this type of outcome to happen.
You will probably find it to be necessary to hire an attorney to take care of the proceedings in your divorce. You will want to make sure that you are represented well so that you are not putting yourself at risk for coming up short in the end. You want to have your message sent to the courts loud and clear so that you are able to make sure that your side of the story is heard. There are many factors that have to be decided in a divorce hearing and you want to do your best to have it ruled in your favor.
The last thing that you should want to do is make the divorce a messy one. You should not want to make it hard for the other person just for spite. This is not a good idea because all it will do is add more stress on you and may even hurt your case. You want to make sure that you are doing what you can to make this procedure go as quickly and fairly as you can. That would be best for everyone involved including you and the family around you.
Find an attorney
How to find the right lawyer to handle your divorce can be difficult. There are many factors that you will want to look at. Once you have gotten over the pain and hurt, you need to consult a lawyer to advise you on what's fair. Some lawyers will try to go for all they can, but if you want to have a civilized divorce (if one is possible) you will want to go after only what is fair. There is a lot of stress that divorce can bring, but if you find the right attorney you will find that you won't have to deal with so much. You need a lawyer that will ease your stress levels.
One thing that you need to look at when choosing an attorney is the fee. Is it going to cost you an arm and a leg? If so, then you may just be adding more stress on top of things. Lawyers will let you know what their costs will be, and that will depend on the difficulty of the divorce. If you don't have anyone contesting a marriage then you may just want to hire the same lawyer and get things over with. If you want to have a sensible divorce, you don't want to go with the high paid lawyers. They will go for all they can so that they can get a better fee. You need to be as open and honest as possible when you first meet with the lawyer. This way you can have a good idea of what to look forward to.
You should also take their expertise into consideration too. If they have a good track record, you should hire them if you want to have a blood battle or get as much as possible. However, you can hire a lawyer outside of the divorce field. But if you get an experienced lawyer, they know the judges and how they react to certain cases. They will use all of their knowledge for your advantage. The fee may be more important than expertise, but you should know that you get what you pay for.
You may also want to ask around. Your friends will know a few lawyers that will be good candidates. A good lawyer will not hide anything. They will let their clients know that they would like to be referred and they may even talk about past clients. This will convince you of how experienced and good they are so that you will hire them. Their testimony may mean nothing, but if you ask around you will be able to get a good idea of what they are really like. Some lawyers are known for being hard and so if that's what you are looking for, then you should go with a lawyer that everyone speaks of.
You should also go with a lawyer that you like. It is important that you trust your lawyer. You need to be able to rely on them. You also need to know that their attitude goes along with yours. If you want a cutthroat lawyer, then make sure that you have the personality to be, but if you just want to get it over with and be done then seek a lawyer who will go after what's fair.
When it comes to picking your lawyer, you will want to make sure that you have one in mind that will do exactly what you want. You also want a lawyer who will have the time to deal with all the
stress of the divorce so you can easily wash your hands of it all. You will want a lawyer that understands how you feel and knows what you want and how you would like to get it.
Learn divorce laws
Divorce can be messy and difficult. You do not want to have a lawyer that never calls you or that never communicates with you. Before you hire a lawyer, you may want to look up some of your state divorce laws so that you have a better understanding of the situation. You need to find legal representation and ask your lawyer about certain laws that you can file under. You will need to know what may prevent you from getting what you deserve like a prenup. You should also refer to other cases so that you know what to expect. Sometimes your lawyer may sugar coat the situation, but if you are able to identify some of the things that could help your case, your attorney is also more likely to let you know the truth. They will think that you have some general knowledge of the laws and if you are prepared your lawyer will be straight and honest with you.
If you plan on having a huge divorce worth a lot then you will want to go with a firm to represent you. You can also help your lawyer prepare by telling them some things that may be used against your spouse and also be doing research. If you stumble across a law that can be used to your advantage then you are more likely to win because it might be something that your lawyer never thought of.
If you cannot afford a decent lawyer then you will need to hire a bono lawyer. They have limited knowledge and resources. They may not know the law as well and may want to just settle. If you learn how to investigate your own divorce then you should be able to tell your pro-bono lawyer to build the case against your spouse and then you will be more likely to get what you deserve in the case.
You should also research the laws for quick settlements. Once you get a quick deed, then it cannot be undone and you may end up with less than what you started the process with. You should know that there are tax payments that would be paid. Each state has certain laws when it comes to the quick divorce. You will also need to research any other taxes or fees that may be paid for things like property or the interest of property.
To do the proper research you may want to ask your lawyer what you should do and how you can help. You can also go online and begin to search for cases and laws that may be helpful to you. You will want to make sure that you keep all financial records that were saved during the marriage. This way you know what everything was paid and how much the depreciation of such goods would be. This will be a big help while going through the divorce.
If you have children, you will have to research a lot of the state laws. This way you know exactly what the chances of you getting full custody are and what shared custody means. You will also want to check to see what the parent's limits are. You may not be able to take children out of the state during a divorce, so you will want to know what you can do, as well as, what your spouse and do within the limits of the law. You will also want to know what you can do legally to obtain information and when things need to be filed so you know exactly what's going on in your divorce process.
Find out about child support
You will need to see what your state laws say about child support. The key point to child support is to make sure that the children are taken care of when the parents separate. After a divorce, some people can not provide enough for their family on one income, that is why you need to file for child support.
The judge will make the child support reasonable by looking at what the father or mother makes along with the guardian of the child and then the needs of the child. The older a child gets, the more money you will pay because their needs increase. Those who refuse to pay their child support will be prosecuted. It is against the law to ignore the decisions of the courts. Usually, for child support you get to see the children on a regular basis.
Both parents have a duty towards the children. One will give the support, and the other will use the support money to help their children's expenses. Usually, the one who has the least time with the child will pay the support. Sometimes it is the father and sometimes it is the mother. Your marital issues are never a concern in child support because it doesn't matter what went wrong with the marriage, only that the child is taken care of. The only thing that matters is if the parent is responsible. If there was abuse, obviously they won't get custody and will end up paying child support regardless of visitation.
You do not get to choose what you will pay, so you need to do your research when you first start the divorce proceedings. You will first want to make sure that your payment is scheduled. Your payment is due a certain time of the month and if they aren't on time, you may end up in jail for backed child support. Child support is only used to give the child shelter, food, and clothes. It may be used to purchase school supplies as well as other related things. Your payments will stop as soon as they turn 18. Some states require you to pay child support past 18 if they are still in high school or even college. If they become emancipated, you don't have to pay child support anymore either. Obviously if the child dies, you no longer have to either.
Find out right away what you may be paying because if you don't pay then you will either go to jail, things will be auctioned off to pay your debt. You will have property seized by the government and then they sell the items to get the money. If you would like to keep your things or freedom, you may want to think about the amount you are willing to pay and then consult
your lawyer to see if you can get the payment around that amount. Most people pay about $200-300 a month on child support per child.
You may have to get a second job just to keep your payments coming. Don't worry about not getting the payment on time, because most employers will send it straight from your paycheck. Every check that you get, you will have a little bit taken each time for your child support bill. If you are use to living quite extravagantly, when you start paying child support, your spending will have to go down or that you can afford to live on what you make.
Child support is very serious and you will find that it isn't cheap. Consult your lawyer to find out what you should expect to pay.
Find out about keeping the house
When it comes to keeping the house, you have to be realistic. Can you really buy them out, can you afford the payments of the house? It's completely unreal. You should also think about who will get the children. If you don't want the children to be with you completely, then don't expect to get the house, because the house usually goes where the children are. You shouldn't ask for custody because of the house. Children are not leveraged in any case.
They should not be used so you can get whatever it is that you want. One of the biggest reasons why someone will sell the house during the divorce is because neither one of them can make the payments alone. If one of you can, you can take advantage and buy out their half or you can sell for your advantage again. If you want the house, ask the other to move out right away. This way you will have a better chance of getting the house, as well as, the other party losing the house since they forfeited it to you. The one who moves out will be seen as a very generous person who just gave the other the house. Ask for a removal. This will allow you to have temporary absence, but remember they can also file for a temporary stay in the house, after the other has left. You should have a plan if you lose the house.
You're not guaranteed the house; so don't act like you are. But if you run your business from the house or within the house, you will get the house just because it would be an inconvenience that is unnecessary. It will prove that you have more value towards the home.
You want to make sure that you never leave the house or it will leave your possession. You will want to consult your lawyer on other tips on how to keep the house. You will want to make sure that you don't suffer financially just to keep the home. Some of the things that you will need to keep in mind is who will fix the things around the house. Do you have the ability to pay for the pairs or can you do them yourself?
If you do get possession of the home, you should change the locks. This way you can't have them entering the premises without your permission. You will want to change the locks as soon
as they move out. This way they can't harm you during the proceedings. You may even want to install an alarm so that you know that no one can open a window and get in. If you feel that your life is in danger, don't fight over the house. However, as a mother or parent you have the right to protect your children and want to stay in the house. When it comes to disputes that include property, you have to ask yourself if it is worth it and why you are pushing the issue.
To get the house, you will want to think about going through medication. You may find that you will have to give up more things for the house, but you have to wage the house against the other possessions. Usually, if you get the house then you get practically nothing else. You may get child support and alimony, but you don't get any of the other possessions in most cases.
When it comes to divorce proceedings, make sure that you don't have anything to hide. If you do, have a backup plan so that you can clear your name and the courts may be more likely to give you the house. You will want to think about the children as well when it comes to the custody of the house.
How to deal with money issues
You need to find ways to save money during the divorce so you don't end up going into debt or needing a second job. When your marriage is over, the last thing on your mind should be your money, but it usually is. You have to learn ways to protect yourself so that you have money to live on through the divorce and after the divorce. You will find yourself angry and confused after you have announced your split, but you shouldn't feel overwhelmed about the money you may lose. Many people find out the hard way what divorce really means, and it usually means they leave you with half your stuff.
First, you should never get married without a prenup. If you don't have the prenup, you will be in so much water when the divorce comes. You don't need a prenup just if your rich, you need a prenup regardless off your assets. When it comes to your finances, why on earth take any chances of losing good, hard-earned money? Secondly, you need to know your finances throughout the marriage. You need to know where at least 80% of the money, if not all the money, goes.
You need to know your wealth. Your wealth is your assets minus your debts. If you have $10,000 in the bank, and you have a total of $50,000 (which is a combination of credit cards, mortgages, car payments, and other things that you may owe on), then you have $40,000 worth of debt, your wealth is nothing. However, if you own your own home and paid $40,000 for it, and have a couple thousand on credit and a couple grand left on a car payment, you have a lot of wealth that needs to be protected. Even if you have debt, you want to make sure that you don't get stuck with it by protecting yourself with a clause in your prenup.
As for refinancing during the divorce, anything that the other person wants, make sure you take your name off the deed. If your cars are in both names, get the name taken off just so if they fall behind in payments, you don't have to worry about your credit being ruined. Usually, the house has to be sold and divided so you shouldn't have to do anything about your name on the deed. However, they can buy you out and then you will need to get your name off the deed and the mortgage.
To really know your finances you should get your credit report. Many credit vendors like credit card companies and credit lenders will let you know what your credit is for free. However, there is a $15 fee to know if you get it from a credit report company. You should also open your own bank accounts and always keep your money separate. This way you know what is yours and what is theirs. You will also want to keep your credit cards separate as well. This way you can keep your debt separate too.
When going through the divorce you will want to think about cutting them off your health benefits at work. This way you can save money, plus get them off your benefits completely. You will want to change beneficiaries of any policies that you may have with your mate as the beneficiary. If you took his name, you can file paperwork to regain your maiden name, however, it is costly; you may want to save this for later. You will also want to talk to your lawyer about the house. The house should, by rights, sell and the proceeds divided up.
Rebuilding your self esteem, during divorce
When the divorce process begins to move along, you may find that your self-esteem is completely gone. You need to learn how to rebuild your self-esteem so that you can move on successfully after the divorce. Moving on successfully means that you are okay not being married to them anymore. It may take months or even a year to get there, but it is a lot of work for some. Some people will take it really hard and the shock of the divorce can be devastating. You need to learn how to focus on the positive things and learn how to appreciate what you got. You will feel a lot better about your life when you learn how to think positively.
You should never beat yourself down. It's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault, you may have just had a bad marriage, it's so hard to tell what a marriage will be like until a while after 'I do'. Don't think about the past, but focus on the future. You will want to replace any thoughts where you doubt yourself by stating something that you like about yourself and keep telling yourself that you're okay and everything will be okay. You should learn to use positive words to describe yourself like smart, beautiful, ambitious, and so on. Your image of yourself will affect your life a lot.
To think positively you need to think things to encourage yourself. You should use self-esteem building activities like talking to yourself in a mirror. Tell your reflection how you feel about yourself in a positive way. You should make encouraging statements and you will actually begin
to feel better by doing such things. The first step to rebuilding your esteem after divorce is to let go. You need to place the past in the past and begin to think about ways that you can improve the way you feel about yourself.
The best way to let go of the past is to get dressed up and go to your favorite restaurant and eat alone. If you can go there by yourself and have dinner, then you know that you will be okay. You know that you can be okay with being alone. However, if you feel extremely uncomfortable, ask yourself why and then tell yourself some encouraging statements so that you can feel better about the situation and accept being alone or single is just as fine. No one will stare at you, no one will notice you and at the end of the meal you will be much stronger.
You should also let go of any goal of being perfect. This will allow you to adjust and you will lighten up about the entire situation. No one is perfect, but making yourself try to be will only make things worse. This is when you should tell yourself that you're not perfect, but you're perfectly fine being who you are.
If you must you may need to make changes you need to be able to stand on your own. You should decide what you need to do to find yourself again and then reach out. Your level of success and confidence will rise. You should also learn that you can not isolate yourself. You need to be around people and your closest buds will not let your self-esteem dissolve. They will help you through the divorce as well as many other things. Your friends and family should be the key to finding yourself and love after the divorce. You will find the courage to move on by finding comfort in your friends.
How to look your friends in the face, during divorce
When it comes to divorce, it is hard to tell your spouse, it's even harder to tell your friends and family. If you have been thinking about divorce and you have taken it heavy to heart, then you will want to tell your spouse and then your family. The timing needs to be right. You shouldn't announce at Thanksgiving dinner that you would like a divorce and hope that your entire family listens so you don't have to repeat it. You should arrange a time like a luncheon to tell your closest family. Take your mother out to dinner and tell her what you think and how you feel. It's okay to vent.
Your family will be completely understanding, and if you don't think that someone will be, let them hear through the grapevine. You should speak to them with calmness in your voice. You can imagine how some of your family will react, they too will be shocked, and especially if they didn't know that the marriage has problems. You should never tell your family on the phone, in a letter, or on the answer machine. If you don't think you can face someone and tell them, then don't tell them at all. Wait until you have had time to accept it and when you are in a good state of mind. Let the shock happen.
Once you have told your family and friends they will begin to ask you questions. You have the right to answer and the right to decline. You don't have to justify anything to them. As for showing your face up to family events, You may want to pull away for a couple months because they are going to be a lot of ignorant people who tell you that they are sorry or comment and if you aren't ready for that it's okay to pull away from certain events, but you can not isolate yourself. It will help you to face your friends and family once you have someone on your side. You may want to tell your sister, your brother, or a close friend. This way you will find strength in numbers. The most people to understand your situation, the better you will feel about it
When it comes to telling the children, you should do it together. You both should remain calm and just tell the children that you would like to try it apart, but make sure that the children understand that they aren't losing a parent or both.
Counseling has helped a lot of people deal with their failing marriage by lending some support. You should discuss some of the arrangements that you need to figure out and how you feel going through the process. Therapy would also be a help when it comes to announcing it to someone who may not understand. You will find courage and strength in the therapy.
You may feel uncomfortable announcing your spit, but you need to remember that this is the time that you need to lean on someone. You need to find comfort from your friends and family. How else will you find comfort if you do not tell them; as soon as you are ready you can make a phone call and invite some friends or family over and tell them everything. Don't leave anything out. Your friends will validate your feelings and will support you so do not fear their response.
Divorce is hard on everyone, but telling the friends and family should not because they love you. They want you to be happy and will be there for you regardless of anything. They are your support system and should be allowed to give you the support that you need.
Learn to get past what you hear
Divorce teaches a person many things. Some people take them to a place that makes them bitter. People lose a lot in divorces and that's not just personal materials. A person will lose a piece of himself or herself through the process of divorce. You should know that when you go through a divorce you might make a lot of personal changes. You will find your own way and become independent. You may change negatively, but eventually you'll get back on track.
You will want to overcome being this way by allowing yourself to learn your lesson, but not hold it against yourself. You will learn so much from a divorce that you may be scared to enter another relationship, but you shouldn't. You should know that your friends and family love you and want you to be happy. Your friends will encourage you, as well as, support you.
One of the most important lessons that you will learn from divorce is that you are stronger than you think. It takes a lot out of a person and it knocks you down. Going through all that you have, you will become a stronger person. It will enable you to handle situations that you normally wouldn't think you could handle. Divorce makes you stronger.
It will also allow you to know the difference between words and action. Your mate might have promised to be civilized and then took everything. This may make you not want to trust anyone ever again, however, you will find a medium of believing everything and distrusting everything. You will know when someone is feeding you a line and you will tell when someone is being truly honest. Actions always speak louder than words. You may want to keep that in mind when it comes to other relationships.
You will also learn to appreciate your friends. You know when you have a true friend because you will never be alone in your times of need. Your friends will always have your back in everything that you do. You will also find that your friends are a source of strength. They will encourage you to be better and they will encourage you to have goals and reach for them. Divorce will also let you know which friends aren't worth a dime. You will be able to tell the difference between an honest person and someone who will stay with you and someone who just uses your friendship every now and then.
Another important lesson that everyone will learn is that anger helps heal. Although, there are people who say that you should hold back on your anger during times like divorce so that you don't mess up your case. But you need to get angry! You need to yell, you need to curse, you need to right your wrong even if it won't help. Once you have expressed your anger you can then learn what it takes to let it go. You can get all your feelings out, all your hurt, and then you can learn to forgive. Anger is the beginning of the healing process.
Another tip that you will get from divorce is that sometimes it's better to be on your own and follow your own path, rather than put up following someone else. You will be happier being able to control your life. You will be a better person if you are able to find your own way of doing things. Your self-esteem will rise because you are an independent individual. It may be something that you never expected from yourself and more of a reason to feel a whole lot better about the situation.

You want to only have credit with credit card companies that have good interest rates and that are going to help you with your financial building. You want to make sure that you are not overspending on these limits. Only use what you plan to pay back as soon as possible.

The credit cards to cancel
When you are going through a divorce it can be a difficult time. This is a time that will be emotional and also frustrating as well. You need to make sure that you are doing what you need to be doing to protect yourself. This is going to mean that you have to take a stand and make some very important decisions. You need to make sure that you are doing what you need to do so that you are staying ahead of the game.
There are certain things that you need to do first when you are getting divorced. You have to go through your finances to make sure that you are secure. You and your soon to be ex need to sit down and decide what you have to do in order to make this time go as easy as you can. If you do not get along with your ex partner, you will want to try and figure out a way to get safe when it comes to your credit and all of the credit cards that you have.
Most people have a credit card or even more than one. Some of the cards that people have are in their own name and some are in both their name and their spouse's name. This is dangerous when it comes time to a divorce. When the situation is heading for divorce, you may want to make sure that you are canceling some of the cards that you are not going to need anymore. You will also want to make sure that you are canceling the cards that are in both you and your ex's name. This will protect you more than you think.
When you have credit cards that are in both names, you have to make sure that you are calling the company and ending your service with them. You may end the cards that you have with that company and get new ones issued to you from a new account that is only in your name. This means that you are terminating all of the privileges that your ex would have had to the cards. This will be your way of taking charge and keeping your credit in good standing.
When you are looking for ways to figure out what cards are best to keep and what cards are going to need to be canceled, you may want to sit down and figure out what your interest rates are on them. You will only want to keep the cards that are in your name only and that have a smart interest rate attached to them. You will not want to have to pay a lot in interest that is added on to your account. This is the main reason why it is so important to make sure that you have a card that has low interest because this will make your payments lower as well.
You should be thinking about what is best for you and your credit. If you are not sure how to handle something, you can seek help from a professional. You can get counseling for your credit after a divorce so that you are getting the facts that you need to get your finances in order and to protect your good name. There are only a few things that you can have in life and one of
them is your good reputation. This is something that you own outright and you do not want to take any risks in messing it up.
Any cards that you do not use or have your ex partner's name on them need to be canceled at once when you are going through a divorce. This is the only way that you can keep your credit where you want it to be and avoid any unexpected charges being added on. You need to be in control and find ways to rebuild your credit and keep it up.
Your life is not over when you are going through a divorce. You are in for the ride of your life. You will have a bumpy road ahead, but you have to make sure that you are able to take on this challenge head on. You need to make sure that you are ready for the world that is ahead of you and what you need to do.
You will need to think about more than just the emotional support that you need when you are going through a divorce. You need to worry about your finances. You will want to have a great credit standing so that you are ready to go on with your life on your own. You need to make wise choices for your finances and to keep your life together and on track. You will want to start with your credit cards and find out how to keep them in control.
You want to make sure that you are canceling your credit cards that are in both you and your ex partner's name. You want to make sure that you are terminating them first so that you are not going to have any battles over charges. You will then want to make sure that you are getting rid of the credit cards that are not good for you. This will include any of the cards that have a high interest rate or that have annual fees added to them. You do not want to be paying high interest on a credit card that you may or may not need for a big purchase at some point.
You will want to make sure that you are finding ways to lower your interest rates on your credit cards that you do keep. You can do this sometimes by simply asking the card companies to do it. Sometimes if you are a good customer they will help you with your interest rate and give you a break. You may want to think very carefully before you decide to use your credit cards on some of the items that you purchase. You need to make sure that you are in need of this purchase before you decide to make the transaction.
You will need to contact all of your creditors and make sure that you are informing them that you are divorced and that you are not going to want your ex to have access to your accounts. In some of the cases, you may have to close your current accounts that you both have. Sometimes they may have to arrange for you to have a new account set up so that your information is the only thing on the account. This will help you keep track of your credit so that you are not going to be responsible for any purchases if any that are not by you.
You will need to start building new credit for yourself. You may want to think about how you are going to do this. You want to make sure that you are making the right choices so that you are
able to keep your credit in good standing and make a new path for you to go on. You want to try and find a way to pay off your old credit cards and loan amounts so that you are starting with a fresh and clean slate.
Another good idea is to open up a bank account or savings account so that you can get on your way to saving money for yourself that you will need later on. You will want to make sure that you are able to put a little bit of money away each week or month so that you can start building up your good name. This will be a huge help for you later on when you may try to open up accounts for credit cards or for bigger purchases like a home, car, or to get any type of loan for any reason. You will see how this will also help you build a stronger financial security net for yourself as well.
You will want to try and keep on track as much as you can. Avoid buying anything that you do not need and keep your spending to a minimum. Once you have achieved your goal of building up your credit and getting back on the right track, you will see that you can start your way to a better and more secure financial future.
Get out of that mortgage
When it comes to the divorce you have every right to think about the mortgage. If you don't think that you'd be able to pay the mortgage of the home, then you should not go for the house. If you want out of the mortgage you may have some trouble. When it comes to the house every state has a different law that pertains to community property. In fact, some states are known as non community property states, where they believe that someone always owns everything; it's just a matter of determining who.
When it comes to the lenders, they aren't going to be happy having to redo the mortgage of your home. However, even if you are in the middle of the divorce, the mortgage payment still needs to be paid. In fact, it is up to the creditor to allow you to get off the mortgage or keep you on. If your wife or husband can not get the loan by themselves, then you are more than likely going to have to make sure that the mortgage is paid regardless if you live there are not. This can really mess up someone's credit.
If you want to get out of the divorce without the mortgage, you are going to have to think about a few things. You are going to either ask your spouse to buy it out, or you will have to ask them to sell it. Depending on the state and your circumstances, you may have to sell the house regardless. If the other person cannot find a co-signer then they will be forced to give up the home. This is one of the easiest ways to get out of a mortgage, however, the laws vary from state to state and you may have difficulty splitting the assets 50-50. Remember, if you place your house up for sale, you still have to pay the mortgage until the day it is signed over to a new couple or person. This is because you are still the legal owner of the home and it has to be sent by someone.
If you are worried about your credit rating you will have to do some work or investigation because you enter the divorce process. You will need to know what credit cards that you two have and the balances on each. Not only do you have to worry about the liabilities that you two have racked up during the marriage, you have to think about all the money that you have saved on account. You may end up having to repay your spouse from the account and pay for your credit debt.
When you file for divorce you will want to close all joint accounts. Make sure that everyone knows that it was by request, not because of other circumstances. You will want them to note that so that it shows up on your credit report and has nothing to do with your credit when you go and apply for credit.
Some people will run up the bills and then make some payments late to screw the other person in the divorce, but that is ridiculous. If you try to screw up their credit, your credit is going down too. So why bother playing such games when it's just going to cost you more in the end.
Also, make sure that you have a copy of your credit report so that you can keep notes of the changes in your rating. This way you can't get in trouble if your mate tries to play the credit game and starts buying things with your name and then not paying for it. Divorce, rebuild your life, get a new pet
So what happens to the pets when it comes to the divorce? Some care so much about their animals that it could be devastating when the lawyers speak of them like property. The value of the pets that we place in our hearts can sometimes be hard when it comes to being apart. If you are in the battle of your lifetime and your mate wants to fight dirty, they can go for custody of the pets.
They use the pets like leverage, much like children. The key to making out like a bandit in a divorce is to find what one person wants and then act like you need it or want it more. Usually the courts will give pets to the one who is more passionate or emotionally attached, which can be easily faked. Ex's go for the pets because they want to hurt you as much as possible. If you have any children or pets in a marriage you are more than likely to have an ugly divorce.
Like the children, the courts will ask themselves what is best for the pet. If your spouse gets the home and the yard, more likely they'll get the dog. If the pet only knows that one home, they are more likely to get the pet because they have an emotional attachment to their secured home. However, some judges will go on the fact of who had the dog first. If you gave it to your girlfriend and then over the years became attached to it, the attachment doesn't matter. Sometimes they look at pets like property. Who has the right it property? Well, the answer is, the one who owns it. They will not share the pet. This is because it's actually unhealthy for the dog. The dog will become confused easily and they won't have their security and may develop some emotional or aggressive behaviors.
Most of the time, the wife got the kids, the house, and the pets. This is because they feel that the children need the house as security and the family pet needs the children for security as well, so they all go together. This is one issue that has been addressed over the years, and the father has gotten all three.
If the judge can't think about the pet's interest, maybe you or your spouse should start acting properly in the divorce and instead of trying to get it all, give up the things you really don't want. If you don't like the dog, don't take the dog. If you don't have a cat, don't ask for it. Don't fight over something that is just going to hurt you both in the long run.
However, there are people who lose their pet and need to rebuild their life with a new one. There is always going to be hurt feelings about losing the original pet, but getting another one will help you deal with the loss. It won't replace the animal, but it will allow you to begin the process of moving on and letting go. You may need some time to think things over.
It's hard to replace a pet that you were so close to. It's like losing a child or best friend. However, if you get another pet, not just another dog or cat, but any type of pet that will comfort you and be there for you then the divorce will be a lot easier to cope with. If you are thinking about a new pet, you should go to the shelters. They have animals that have been rejected and hurt and they will bond with you. You are more likely to bond with them because you can understand their situation. You may find that a pet from the shelter will be exactly what you need. Divorce, rebuild your life, make new friends (how to find new friends)
So you have just gone through a divorce and you now feel the need to find new friends. Maybe you just relocated to get away from your ex and all the people who take a role in your divorce, or maybe it is because you have lost all the 'friends' in the divorce.
Either way you know that there are dozens of new people that you can be friends with. If you still aren't in the mood to go out, but you still feel the need to reach out to someone, try the Internet. You don't have to go online looking for love or a new boyfriend/girlfriend. You can go online to find someone to talk to and become good friends. This person can be male or female and they can be there to talk to without judgment. The Internet is great too because it has false security. You can interrupt their words anyway that you would like.
You don't have any body language to help you decode the messages and you can't hear their tone of voice. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing. You can be whoever you want to. You may be depressed and embarrassed about your divorce, but to them you can be a single person who has never been married. You get to write your own story line to make yourself feel better about your situation. You can find comfort from this person much like a person that you've been friends with forever.
If you want to reach out for serious friendship you may want to spend more time with friends and family. They can introduce you to some people who are in close proximity to you and you can begin a relationship with them. If you are looking for someone to be more than just a partner for
game night, you can also ask some of your friends if they can hook you up with someone who you might like. Although blind dates always seem so horrible, you will find that you may fall in love with a person who you met through a friend. Never judge a situation before you enter the picture because you never know what you may find in a person.
If you believe that you need some new friends because you are so depressed, it may not be a friendship that you need, but some medical attention. If you believe that you are so depressed then you need to reach out and get some help so that you can be happier. Some people find that drugs, alcohol, or even involving themselves more at work is the solution to depression. Just because you cannot think about how sad you are doesn't mean you aren't. When you start to self medicate or overwork yourself, you are only adding more fuel to the fire. It's not healthy.
If you would like to reconnect with an old flame that you recently saw again, then you have no reason not to go for it. There is no reason why any one should feel that they couldn't ask another person on a date because they have just been divorced. You're divorced, you're single, and you should go seek out dating opportunities, as well as other friendships. A friend is what keeps you young. Friends can help you get over your divorce, as well as your depression.

About the house in your name
Usually in a divorce, the couple that is divorcing needs to make the decision about who is going to keep the house. They need to work this out on their own or make sure that the courts address it. You have to make the decision about what will be done with the property. There are many different options and it is important to make sure that the decision is best for everyone involved.
In a divorce it is usually determined what is going to be done with the house. You can either sell it and split the profits between the two people that are getting divorced if they own it, one person can offer to let the other one have it, or the other party will buy out the ex spouse. It will depend on how the divorce is settled to determine this decision. It is always better when things are worked out easily, but sometimes this is not possible and the couple will have to seek the help from an attorney or court system.
If you are the one that is ready to take on the challenge of keeping the home, you will want to make sure of a few things first. You will want to be certain that you can take on the mortgage payments. You will have to decide if this is a payment that you can afford each month. You must make sure that you have thought about your income now that you are divorced and what you will be able to afford.
You will also want to think about the fact if you really do want the house or not. You have to want the house because it is where you want to stay and not just be the winner of the house to spite the other person. You have to get through these feelings and then determine if this is where you want to stay and rebuild your life after the divorce.
Sometimes it is better for the couples to decide if they should sell the house or not. It is important to think about the financial security that you have in time and think about what you can afford to lose and gain in the situation. Do you really want to start your new life over in a house that you once shared with your ex? Is this the house that you grew up in and want to keep it for sentimental value, or do you want to make sure that your children are raised in the home that they know and love? These are a few of things that sometimes people need to think about and have the right answers for when it comes time to decide what to do with the house. If you are the one to be leaving the house after a divorce, you will want to see how it will affect your credit. If your name is on the mortgage to the house, and your ex spouse does not pay, you will be responsible for the loan and your credit may suffer because of it. The lender wants their money no matter if you are living in the home or not. If you owe money on the home it may also make it hard for you to go out and purchase your own home later on because of the outstanding balance on this one.
It will be important for you to either make arrangements with the ex that they are going to be faithful in paying the mortgage or have this documented in the divorce or you may just want to have them get your name off of the mortgage. This may require them to refinance the home in their name only so that you are no longer financially linked to the home. This is something that you will have to think about and make sure that you have everything set before the divorce is final. You want to protect yourself as well as keep things settled and peaceful with your ex.
The bills you need to think about

It is important to have these bills paid so that you can keep your credit and good name after the divorce. You do not want to start out your new life with bad credit because this will only make things more difficult later on.
You will want to think about the bills that you have together with your ex. These bills have to be arranged for payment. You need to figure out how you are going to handle them so that you are getting them sorted out before you go your separate ways. Sometimes these bills are sorted through before the attorney and the judge settle the divorce.
Getting through a lot of the hassle of figuring out the bills is something that you have to do. You must make sure that you are protecting yourself so that you are able to be financially ready to take on the role of supporting yourself and making your new life better. This is something that you must do for your own protection. You are on your own now and need to watch out for yourself.
There will be other issues to think about like the house payment and the car payments. You will want to discuss this with your ex partner so that you can get these things figured out and settled for when the divorce takes place. Other payments will include things like the car insurance, health insurance, life insurance and any 401K plans that you may have in place. This is something that you must be thinking about when you are going through the life changing experience of divorce.
Of course the one thing that you must think about is what you can now afford and what you cannot. You need to think about the things that you can take on and what you are going to have to have to make ends meet once you are divorced. There are many issues that you have to address so that you are able to survive on the income that you have coming in. If you have to make sacrifices for a little while then that is what you have to do.
You may also have to pay your attorney fees. Sometimes when you are in a divorce you may find it to be necessary to hire an attorney. This is the best way for some couples to get their point across a little bit easier. You will want to start making payments as soon as possible.

This is all part of rebuilding your life once you are divorced and improving your entire life and well-being.
Your children
One of the most important things to think about when you are getting divorced is the child that is involved. You want to make sure that you are able to keep them out of the conflict if any between you and your ex.

This is a good way to make sure that everyone is being honest and that the other parent is not telling the child anything that may be untrue or hurtful towards him or her. It is important to keep any negative remarks banned from the children's ears during divorce. You do not want to be saying anything bad about the other parent to the child. This will only make the child more confused and may even scare them.
Make sure that the children are keeping a close relationship with both sides of the family as long as it is a healthy relationship. You want to make sure that anything that can stay the same does stay the same. You do not want to be making too many changes in the child's life. If you can, try and keep them in the same school or as close to their original surroundings as possible. You do not want to take everything away from them because this may be the only feeling of security that they have.
You may want to try and share custody of the child so that the child is able to have both of their parents any time they need them. You do not want to make any divorce or custody battle ugly.

Part 3: Rebuild a Better Life
Find an apartment, and move on in life
Moving out and finding an apartment can be a good thing. It will start the divorce proceedings. However, if you have children, you do not want to move out. If you were to move out the other spouse may end up getting the children because they live in the home and it's a stable environment. Also, they may be given the home just for the fact that there are children and you have already made arrangements to live elsewhere. However, if you move out you will have relief from the arguments and torture that many people take while trying to push a divorce through. If you would really like to keep the house, then you should stay until the judge has made his decision. At the temporary relief hearing, this is when you can make your plea to come back or make the other move out.
When you do move out and find an apartment you can look for apartments that are for those
who are going through a divorce. They are usually very cheap and most people will keep to themselves. If you do move out and without the children than you should see them as much as you possible can arrange so that the judge will allow you to keep your visits. You may want to purchase an apartment that has plenty of room for the children and you may want to set up with rooms so that when they come to your place they can be entertained and comfortable. When you move you, take everything that you would like with you. You should take any personal things like your clothes and jewelry. You should also inventory everything that you take so that it can't come back as stealing. If you take it out right away, the law will see it as yours. Depending on what it is and the value of it (money or personal) you may be able to keep it or you may have to be ordered to give it back. But, if you would like it, please take it with you, because you never know what they may do to your things. Also, don't be greedy; leave most of the furniture, unless it was in your den or private area. You should never clean the house out, regardless of who owned what. It will look bad in court, plus you don't want the children to be disrupted. When you move out, don't go to the girlfriend/boyfriend's place. You want to show independence and it may be just what you need. If you cannot afford a place on your own, you should move in with a friend or family member. You should not' move back to the parents because you never know what dirt the lawyer can dig up about your family when it comes to custody of the children. Also, make sure that this other person would have no personal interaction with you so they can't say that you are dating each other. Moving in with a close friend or cousin will make the rent easier to be paid and you won't be completely alone. You will have someone to stay with that will support you.
Once you are settled in your new place you can gradually begin to build a new life. Go out, meet new people, have fun. Just don't do anything that would make you look bad if someone brought it up in court. This way you can move on with your life, but you don't mess up a good beginning. If there aren't children involved you may even want to move out of state if your family is located somewhere else. This way you can have family around you be able to move on.
Find a new job, and move on in life
There is a great life that lies head after divorce. You will be able to move on with your life. You can get up and move to a new place and start a completely new life. Some people will do just that. They will change jobs, they will refinance, and they will begin to date again. Just because the divorce is done and is final, this doesn't mean that you have gone through all the steps. You still have to pick up the pieces and try to move on. It's hard for many to move on because they have spent so much time with that person and it can be hard to break up someone who doesn't want to. There are a lot of feelings that you will go through, however you will find that there is a lot of hope that lies in the bounds of the aftermath.
After the divorce you have refinanced and everything is done and over. You don't have a mortgage, you may not have a car payment, you may not have anything to your name. This is a great opportunity to relocate. You don't have to go to another state, but even another county would be a huge change for you. You will have to find a way to get back in the game.
The first step to rebuilding after moving is to find a new job. You may want to find a job that allows you to work more because now you don't have to worry about sharing your time with your wife, or you may decide that you don't need a high paying job anymore because you don't the bills or family to support. You can adjust to your new living by going up or standing back from employment. You can purchase a new home and start there, or you can just not make any commitments and rent. Your like is completely up to you.
It may be a long way to come back once you have been knocked down by a divorce. You may have to start from nothing. You will have new views, new goals, a new life. You can leave everything behind or you can build yourself back up. Some people just find it easier to leave everything than truly deal with anything. It is a hassle to go through a divorce and the alimony can make you need to get another job. You will find that there are so many things in a divorce that can cause you to take up drinking, but then there are so many more things that you can do to make things better. You can make things better by going for an important job that you didn't want to take because of your family. You have nothing holding you back. You can re-do everything your way. You don't have to worry about pleasing anyone but yourself.
You are completely independent. That is one good thing about divorce. It can also be scary. If you feel like you can't stand on your own, you can ease your way into being independent. You can move in with some friends, you can take a less demanding job, you can purchase a lease for an apartment, whether than purchase a home. You don't have to make any commitments to anything. Once you feel like you can get back in the game you can begin to make commitments like buying a house, or asking someone on a date. It's a slow progression back.
Once you have relocated you can spend your time like you wish and you can change anything in your life. You should try to be independent because you will make the progression back quickly. You can be okay sooner than later.
Find a new hobby
Moving on is very important when it comes to rebuilding your life after divorce. You will be out of it for a while, but you will find that you can rebuild yourself and learn from your mistakes. It is hard to part from someone who once was a part of who you where, but you will find that you can move on and find new things in your life to bring you joy and happiness. You can find a new hobby at your church, within your community, or within your home.
After you have allowed yourself to grieve, you will begin to want to find other things to fill your hours. If you are the type of person who like to be alone, you should find new things to learn that you can do by yourself. Take an art class at the local community college. Learn how to sculpt or do pottery. You can also learn how to write. You can write a story or article about your life to describe what you are going through. You may find that your hobby could turn into something that you can pursue as a career. You will be able to spend the hours productively than sitting in front of the TV eating ice cream.
Some people will take up a hobby that gets them back into interacting with others. You may want to join a local pool or bowling league. You may go to the community center and join a card game once a week. If you really want to get back into the interaction, you should take dance lessons. Learn how to ballroom or to do some jazz. Then you will be able to learn something and find something new to enjoy. You don't have to go alone, you can take a brother or cousin or dear friend to be your partner. It will be something new to experience. If dancing doesn't sound like a good hobby, you can take up a local job of something that you already know.
If you were really good at a sport, you may want to become an assistant coach or coach of a local high school team or college team. You can start up a new chapter of AYSO or some other thing. You can also do some community service to fill your hours. You can do things like feed the poor; raise money for your church or community, or other services that are needed.
Anything that you can shift your attention to will be a great thing. You will be able to let go of all the hurt and pain and focus on something positive. Even if you would like to increase your reading or do a 25,000-piece puzzle, do anything that will stimulate your mind and allow you to adjust your focus. When you find a hobby or something to focus your attention on you have less of a chance of focusing on the negative or starting bad habits like drinking or smoking. You will be able to find a positive release.
You can take many things, many classes, at local colleges that you can do with a friend. You can learn how to cook, paint, write, or anything else that will stimulate your creativity. Just
remember that you need to find something that interests you and that is convenient. You can also find hobbies around the house too. You can go antiquing with a friend or you can remodel or redecorate the entire hours to your likening. Again, anything that will get you to focus on the positive outlooks on life.
Find new friends
Most people will find that it is hard to resolve or let go of their feelings during a divorce. They will become angry and feel like they will lose control at any moment. You should know that there are hundreds of people who feel the same way. You will want to seek therapy to help you control your temper and feelings of rage. When you seek therapy you will also learn how to get along with your mate for the sake of the children. You may also want to stay friends during the divorce so that you don't end up losing a lot of money during the divorce. You don't want to spend hours of your time in mediation or court. You want to be able to put this as much in the past as possible. You don't want to waste any more money and time than necessary so you should become friends with your mate for the sake of that.
To be friends you should still care about what the other feels. You should talk to them privately and civilized. If you want out of a marriage and remain friends, you should try to keep affairs and such out of the air. If they don't know that you have been seeing someone else, don't tell them. Just tell them that you aren't feeling good about the marriage and want to try it apart. You will also want to keep the affair to a minimum during the divorce. As soon as you place another person in the mixing you will have someone feeling defensive, and that's not your goal of this. You should also participate in family therapy so that the kids don't feel that it's their fault. You can find security in therapy and you will notice that most people will be able to feel better because they have resolved some of the issues. They have gotten answers for some of their issues. When it comes to being friends, it's hard to divide everything up and still claim friendship.
Divorce is territorial and the worst of everyone will become evident. This is when you will want to set a day or two aside to talk to your spouse calmly about what goes and what stays. If you talk without the attorneys then you can keep things off the defensively and be more productive. You can go through out the house and talk about all the things that you are going to miss and how you feel. This way they know that this isn't so easy for you either. Most of the time, you can resolve all the issues of a divorce by just talking off the record. You can save money on the lawyers as well as the hurt that is involved. You may end up having to give up some control over certain matters so that the compromise will allow the divorce to stay civilized. When you talk, you should never raise your voice. Your tone should be low and you should try to understand their side so that you are able to have a clean sweep.
You should explain to your mate that this is not an act or plea to come back. You have cared about them for a long time and still do and that is why you would like to spare any of the hardships. Some people will try to be nice to come back, but if you are nice to your spouse in general, things will be more pleasant for everyone and the divorce will go quickly. You should compromise, but you shouldn't give more than you are willing.
Start exercising
Divorce can be seen as an opportunity to start a new life. You can do everything all over again, but hopefully learn from your mistakes. There will be many things that you will have to overcome when it comes to the divorce process. You will want to move on and with some respect.
If your husband or wife left you, it can be very difficult to deal with, so you may start to try to find comfort in unhealthy behaviors. You will want to avoid drinking, smoking, drugs, and overeating. Those who are seriously depressed notice that they tend to eat more because they are overwhelmed with feelings. You don't want to do anything that will jeopardize your health. In fact, you should get hobbies to fill the time and maybe take away the feelings of emptiness. If you do things that take a good amount of focus like solving puzzles or exercising, not only will you keep your hands off the goodies, but you will also be able to stimulate your mind and body.
When it comes to exercise, some people will start because they feel that their mate left because of their appearance. There is nothing wrong with your appearance. Some people just fall in love quickly and just as quickly out of love. You should never start exercising with the intention of bringing them back. This will not only hinder your weight loss when it doesn't work out, but why would you want to go through all of that for someone else? If you feel the need to lose weight and get healthy, then it should be because you want it for yourself.
Since this is a major way of dealing with your pain, you will want to have someone there for you all the way. You want someone to talk to about the divorce and someone who is willing to encourage you to get healthy. This person can be a close friend or family member. All you need from them is complete support. You may want to see if they would like to go to the gym with you so that you can have some competition. Competition will keep you going with pace and it will make you work out harder. This person will comfort you through the divorce and they will allow you to stand on your own.
When it comes to weight loss, you will notice that your entire life can change. You may begin to realize that you are a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. If you are able to exercise and burn off all the pain and hurt that you are feeling, it won't take as much time to move on. If you can get your feelings out, you will find that you will be able to let go, move on, and build a new and wonderful life for yourself. Rebuilding is hard and it can be frustrating, but if you have someone near you to help you pull through then you are among the lucky ones.
A divorce can take so much out of you, but if you do not allow it to get to you or bring yourself down, then you will be able to stand a much stronger and independent person. You will be able to find strength in yourself and it will be a great comfort when the divorce is final. Your marriage may be over, but you have just been given an opportunity to rebuild the perfect live for yourself. Divorce - How to rebuild your life, get new clothes and feel good

Memories and forgetting

For them, they will have had their share of ups and downs and it is important for them to hold onto the good memories so that they can keep a positive attitude towards life.
Memories that are not so great are something that you may want to forget. When you are going through a divorce, it will seem like everything will bring up a familiar memory to you. You will want to make sure that you are going to be able to deal with those times and all the feelings that come along with it. You may have to find a way to cope with them and to get past the things that remind you of the good old days.

You will have the comfort of these memories as long as you are able to control the way that they make you feel. You want to be able to keep these memories in the back of your mind but you also want to be able to get past the bad feelings that some of these memories can leave for you.
If you are looking to try and forget the memories of your life that you had before your divorce, it may be an uphill battle. There may be no way of getting past this type of issue. You do not want to forget the good times that you have endured especially if those memories included children. You want to be able to look back on this time with happiness and not be disappointed or upset by them.
You should remember that you would have many new memories to make for yourself and your family. You want to take comfort in the fact that you still have a life to live and you want to make the most of the life that you have now. You want to go on and continue to enjoy the good things in life as much as you can. In time, you will find it easier to let go of the past and get started with the new beginning that you are about to go through.
The worst thing that you can do is shut out the memories that you have created with someone that you loved even if now you are no longer in love with that person. You will want to grow with these memories and find ways to accept the fact that the past is gone and that you now have to live for the future and what it holds in store for you. A divorce is not the end of the world and you will want to find ways to move past the hurt and get to the good stuff that lies ahead.

Moving on and the in laws
Getting divorced is hard for most people that have to go through it. It is a time that is considered very sensitive for most. This is not something that many people look forward to and in fact it can be something that is very disruptive to their lives. This is especially true when it comes to dealing with the in-laws.
When you are dealing with the divorce and all the family members that you are now going to be divided from, you will have to take a well thought out approach to it. You may or may not be having a good relationship with them. It is hard to figure out what you are able to do and what is right. You need to dig down deep inside yourself and figure out what type of person you are going to be.
If your in-laws have never done anything wrong to you, you owe them respect. You do not need to sever your ties with them just because you and your ex do not get along anymore. In fact, many people still see their in-laws on a regular basis because of children that are involved or just because they have a special relationship with them. You do not have to make this time a difficult one and in fact it can be good for everyone involved.
You should make sure that you are communicating with your in-laws right from the start. If you have a good relationship make sure that you are expressing your love towards them. You want them to know that you still value their love and you still want to be part of their lives. You need to make them aware that you have no intentions on ending the relationship with them just because you and your ex cannot stay married.
If you are someone that has a rough and rocky relationship with your in-laws it may be better to end the relationship at least to some degree. You may still have to see them from time to time, especially if you have children that they need to keep in contact with, but you do not have to make the visits long or get too involved with the meetings. You can simply consider them acquaintances and you will not have to waste your time trying to be nice to someone that you do not like.
You will see when you are in the middle of a divorce that most of the time the other person's family is on their side. However, in some cases, you may not have to worry about this problem. You may be able to have a fair and calm divorce and this will allow everyone to remain friends. This is something that is definitely a good thing when it is achieved and it is something that will make both families a little more at ease for all types of family functions.
You need to keep your best interest at heart and the interest of your children as well. If you do have children and you are getting divorced, you need to make sure that you are not taking them from their grandparents and extended family. They did nothing wrong and do not deserve to be punished for any reason. However in some cases, it is not a good idea for the children to be around the in-laws. You have to make sure that you know the facts and keep in mind what is best for everyone. You will see that when you do this and if you do make an effort, you will have less tension and live a more peaceful life.
Avoid sex with the ex
Divorce is something that no one wants to face. It is a hard situation that many people have to find the strength to get through. Sometimes there are hard feelings between the two couples and sometimes the couple will still get along very well. It is hard to tell what is going to happen and sometimes you just have to see how it goes. The ball is in your court and you need to make the best choices that you can.
One thing is for sure; once you are divorced, you do not need to be intimate with your ex. This is not something that is wise because of the issues that will come along with it. You want to break your ties so that you are free and able to move on easily to better and bigger things.
You will want to remain friendly with your ex. This is for obvious reasons. When things go a lot smoother, you will find it to be a lot easier to get things accomplished. You really can kill them with kindness however you do not want to be so kind that you are jeopardizing your health and well being for any reason. You do not want to get involved with the complicity of having sex with your ex when you are trying to rebuild your life and make something better for your future.
When you are trying to rebuild your life, you want to do the right things. You need to make the right choices for you and you family so that you are not putting anyone's well being at risk. This will also include your ex. When you are still carrying on an intimate relationship with your ex partner, you will find that you may be setting either one of you up for a very big fall. This is not something that you should be doing at this stage of the game.
A divorce is something that can be very complicated and when you are combining sex with your ex, you are only making the situation more complicated. You need to make sure that you are severing these ties and making it very clear that you are not interested in this part of your life anymore. You need to of course make sure of this before you file for divorce but having a physical relationship is not the only thing that matters with a marriage. You need to have all the factors there so that you can have a successful relationship that works for both of you.
There are so many things to worry about when you are trying to rebuild your life after a divorce. You do not want to have to deal with too much when you already have so much on your plate. You want to be careful and make the wise decisions that you know you can make. You have to be willing to let the physical side of your relationship go so that you can free your mind and body up for the next chapter in your life.
There is so much life out there and when you are divorced, you are able to take it all on. You should not be holding on to the past even if it is comforting at the time. You want to get out there and find out who you are and what your goals and dreams are in life. This is the only way that you can make your new life a huge success. This is going to be worth the self-control that you have when it comes to refraining from having sex with your ex.
How to talk to your children
If your child is young, you will want to talk to them about your divorce with your partner. You may want to leave the talk up to the parent that is closer to the child if they are in their teens or older. A child, at any age, will have an issue with their parents during a divorce. You will want to be careful how you handle the situation because you never know what may happen and what the
child might do to react to the divorce. To a small child, divorce is the hardest. Their entire world seems to collapse
They will become enraged and scared. They won't know what to expect, until you talk to them, they will feel like they have just become an orphan. When it comes to a divorce with children involved, you will want to make it as quickly and do a lot of damage control. You will need to talk to them about how they feel and you can learn how to support your child through this.
How do you tell your child that daddy/mommy is moving out? You should talk about your break up and the divorce as soon as you know that it will go through. You will need to tell the child what is going to happen so they can expect everything and not be affected by surprise or shock. You need to make sure that they understand that your marriage did not fail because of them. You will want to tell your child that they are still loved and that nothing, other than sleeping arrangements will change. The kids need to know that they aren't losing a parent. If you find it hard to be together with your partner, then you may take your child aside and talk to them with another that loves them very dearly. You may want to ask the babysitter or someone whom they are close to so that they can receive support.
You should also try to make the talk quick and easy. You will need to give your statement and a little definition of what it means. Tell them how the divorce will affect their lives and you should be as honest as possible. You need to tell them why you are getting a divorce, explain the word divorce, and then tell them how it will affect their relationship with their parents. Make sure that you don't say anything bad about your partner. Just tell your kids that you feel that the two of you would be better apart. The kids are smart and may agree, but they will be angry and scared because they do not feel secure. Don't ever say anything about the divorce that is negative, even if you are on the phone in a different room. You never know how it will affect their lives.
You should not just tell your kids how you feel and about the divorce and then never talk about it again. You need to encourage them to ask questions for the next couple of months. Smaller children will find difficulty so you will want to make sure that they feel safe and secure even if one of their parent's move out.
Some of the questions that you need to be prepared to answer are: What's a divorce, Why are you two getting a divorce, Do you still love them, and they may ask you to see the other parent. All of these questions need to be answered as soon as possible so that they can feel secure again. You may want to ask their teachers if they are acting up and for any tips or news that may suggest that the child is having a hard time accepting the news.
Divorce, moving on and setting up a new house
When it comes to the divorce, you may not get the house. In fact, neither of you may end up with the house, so you will need to learn how to move on and set up a new house for your comfort. Maybe you will look for an apartment, condo, or you may find yourself wanting to purchase a home.
You will want to be sure that you know what you want in the divorce. You may want the house, but not fight for it and lose it. You may also want the house and get it, but then you realize you can't afford the place by yourself. You may end up single, with children, and no income or little income. It can be hard for you to move on and purchase a home.
If you have a less painful divorce and still talk civilized to your ex, you may want to ask them to keep their name on the house. If you have a co-ownership, you will both own the house and you can both continue to pay the taxes and the mortgage. This is very rare, but there are some couples who do it for the sake of the children. The judge will also take that in mind when it comes to the child support. However, it may just be best if you get a smaller house. With a new and smaller home, you can sell your other home, stay somewhere near the area, and still be able to avoid your home. It's like trading your car in, it will help pay for the next one. It can be easy to trade down.
With the downgrade, you children may feel like they have just lost their security bubble, but if you tell them that you are going to try to make everything feel like home and ask them to give the move a shot, and then you can begin to make a new home for your family and friends to enjoy.
The first step to making a new home is to try to make everything seem a little familiar. The children will appreciate the thought and effort. You will match the color of their rooms and try to make their rooms similar to the original. This way the kids will have a safe haven once again. If the kids are open to the divorce, then you may want to give them the change to decorate their room. When you decorate the rooms like they would like, they may have an easier time accepting the divorce and the kids will be fine. As for the rest of the house, you can decorate it the way you would like. If you would like to have certain colors in your home, then go for it. If your kids are older than you should involve them in the decorating process so that they feel more comfortable in their room.
You can place the furniture anywhere in your home and you can do whatever you would like with the home and not have to worry about what your husband or wife would think because it doesn't matter. You will want to make sure that your kids are involved in the process of sitting up at home so that they can get used to the house and being away from their original home and friends. If you have any children still in school, you don't want to move out of the school district because you don't want to uproot the kids. You will want to make the move as smooth as possible for the children.
Moving on and keeping that life insurance!
Did you know that your life insurance policy could still cover your ex even if you two are divorced and no longer wish to be a part of each other's lives? Insurance policies have a lot of fine writing when it comes to this. You don't want to ignore your insurance decisions because it may end up making you pay more than you could ever imagine. The laws are different for every
state, so you will want to check out what it means for you and your mate, because you may find yourself in the middle of some expensive complications. If you have a good insurance agent, you may be able to protect yourself from this. You will want to make sure that you think carefully about your insurance options when it comes to your mate.
First, you need to think about your life insurance. When you have something that involves a lot of money, you will want to make sure you know exactly what it is that you are signing. When it comes to getting your spouse of your policy you will want to talk to the agent right away. As soon as the papers are filed, you should see what you have to do to take them off the policy.
Some states will make the policy invalid as soon as the divorce goes through. You may also need to replace them and get a change in the policy. You can take your ex off and place your children or others as the beneficiary. Changing your beneficiary isn't hard and can be done within minutes. Think about who pays the premium. If your husband wants he can stop paying or cash in the policy and leave you with nothing if anything happens.
To protect the children, make sure that your divorce states that they keep the policy with the children as the beneficiary and make sure that he or she shows proof to it each year. The only thing is that if a policy lapses, they don't have to reinstate it. You may be about the money, but your ex may be responsible to repay all the premiums that were paid.
If you would like to name your children as the beneficiary, you will want to open a trust fund and then name the beneficiary the trust. This way your ex will never see the money. They are not allowed to give the money to the ex, but place it into a trust fund that the children can collect at 21 or 18, whatever the agreement happens to be. Make sure that you have all your bases covered so that your ex doesn't get any of the money.
Think about medical insurance. In some states you can stay on the policy for 36 months after the divorce is final. Your child can be covered until they are adults when it comes to most policies. The key is to make sure that you know your HMO limits. If you move, your ex may not be covered or for emergencies only.
Homeowners will give you some surprises. The things that are covered may only be those of the named insured. Therefore, if your wife or husband has the insurance in their name, then your stuff will not be paid for if a fire or other damage happens. When you move, make sure that you take everything to your name. You will want to take anything that you would miss if it were unable to be recovered. Your auto insurance is another thing that you will want to think about looking over so that you know if you are covered under your ex's.
Your bank account - how to save money
You will want to figure out ways that you can save money when it comes to a divorce. It's hard enough dealing with all the things that you are going to have to give up. You should know that it is hard to rebuild your life after the divorce, so you may want to figure out how to save money during the divorce.
One way to save yourself some money is to be your own PI. A PI is a private investigator. You need to know what the assets are, what the liabilities are, where your spouse goes at night, what they may own, and other things. You will be surprised what you will recover from your investigation. So how do you do an investigation? First, you need to look at the planners or notes that they leave around or on their desk. If you do not live in the house anymore, you may not have a legal right to anything in the house, if it isn't in your name.
This way you may not be able to legally obtain notes from the desk. However, you have the right to go through the trash once it is placed to be picked up. There's a lot that you can find in the trash, especially when it comes to the old bills, and it will give you some questions that you may need to look further into to answer. Not all answers are given right away. You may end up having to track their moves and what they do so that you can gain strength in the case. You should also fill out the court financial forms. This is helpful when you think that your ex may end up taking it all. It will help you organize your information so that you can foresee the future. You will begin to look forward to the future when you see what your new life will be like. It will also tell you if you can enjoy the same lifestyle after the divorce. Together, you may be able to live a good life, but you may find that your lifestyle is too much for one person to handle the burden. You may need to prioritize your life.
You should also get a good and solid value of your house. The real estate market can be unstable. You need to know the value of your home by giving it a title; such as a house, a family home, an investment property, and so on. Then you should base your value on the most recent appraisal. To come to an even closer value you will need to seek the opinion of a realtor and an appraiser. Sometimes the realtor will come with an appraiser. Sometimes you don't have to pay a fee if you end up selling your house.
Another thing that you will need to do is obtain the value of any family business. You will want to make sure that you know what you are worth or what your husband is worth so you can either obtain more money in the divorce or learn how to protect your assets. The business name has a lot of value and may be connected to a patent or intellectual property. Your business may be valued high just for the fact that it has a value of interest held by many people. You should also try to calculate child support too. Find out your laws and do the math. The law takes in consideration how much time they spend with one parent and the expenses of the child,
as well as, your income.
All of these suggestions will help you with your divorce expenses.
Learning to eat alone
The hardest part of a divorce is being alone. You have to learn how to do everything alone. You have to learn to live alone, to do things outside of the home alone, to sleep alone, and to eat alone. Have you ever sat in a restaurant alone? Did you feel weird? Do you feel like you don't fit in being single? Well don't fret because you will be able to rebuild your life without your ex and you can learn to enjoy being single.
How can you learn to eat alone? It's hard. It's so hard to be around couples and be the odd one in the middle, however, it doesn't have to be. If you are willing to try, you will find that your first time will be very difficult. One you first go to a restaurant, for the first time, without someone you are going to be insecure and wonder how many people are staring at you and what they are saying or thinking. The others don't really matter, it's insecurity with yourself. To deal with this you have to go through many steps.
First, you should go out and get all dolled up. Look your best in a new dress and have all the pampering done all day long. When you feel like you are so beautiful, you are ready to go out. Make reservations at your favorite place and strut your stuff walking into the place. People will notice you, but then you will know it is because you look so great and not because you stand out in a negative way. This will make you more confident.
When it comes to your behavior during the deal you can order a drink and read some of the things that are at your table. You don't have to make eye contact with anyone. All you have to do is sit there and give off some confidence. Soon you will have men coming up to you and giving you a lot of attention. This is perfectly fine. It will give you compliments and you will love the free drinks.
Once you have built some confidence up, you will find that you will have no problem eating out by yourself, but what about eating alone in your home. Well don't feel bad about being single. Make a healthy meal and then make yourself comfortable in the kitchen or in front of the TV. You may want to cuddle up in a blanket and enjoy some comedy or such on TV. Once you have done this a couple times at home you will become comfortable eating alone anywhere.
The key to being alone is being able to say negative things but then letting them roll off your back. You should not expect to be able to be okay with being alone right away. The longer that you were together, the harder it is to get over the relationship. You may feel like you never want to be alone ever, well it's not possible. You need to learn how to be independent. You know when you are independent when you are able to go out to eat by yourself and not feel one bit out of place.
For you to be able to be okay with being alone, you have to be okay with yourself. That is why it is sometimes easier for women to get dressed up and look their best before they go. As for men, they usually do not have issues with being alone. They can be alone, they can eat alone, they can sleep alone and so on. Men do not have security issues like women. If you truly dislike being alone, you can spend more time with loved ones, but you will never know how it feels to be independent.
Divorce, move on sexually
Everyone has been hurt so badly that they swear off from dating forever. However, it just doesn't happen. Many people claim that they don't want another relationship after the divorce because it will effect the children. It's okay to move on. In fact, many people expect their ex's to move on and have sex, as well as, meaningful relationships.
The only thing that you need to be worried about when it comes to sexually relationships and divorce is that you should never get back with your ex. If this is a person who would hurt you so much and leave you, why would you ever go back just so they can get some. It's not helping you with the divorce and it's not helping the kids, if there are any. When you hook back up with an ex, it confuses people. People think that they want to get back, and some times the sex is just sex. It doesn't mean anything. If you start seeing your ex again, you will find that the children will be just as confused. They may have false hope of you two getting back together. This can be devastating to the children.
Next, when considering having sex again after a divorce you have to ask yourself why you want to. Do you just feel lonely, is it a hormone thing, or do you really care about them. If it is more than just loneliness or hormone and you truly care then you will be more inclined to talk about the sex before taking the leap. You want to make sure that this is not something that will cause you immediate hurt. Love has risks, but you want to make sure that you don't turn your back and find out that everything was a lie. You don't want to be taken advantage of. You need to make sure that you are not in the relationship to hide who you really are or to keep a safe distance from love. You do not want to be with someone who you don't care about so you know that your heart doesn't get broken.
Another thing to keep in mind is that every man is different. You should not think about how they will hurt you because that's what the others did. If you make your present interest suffer because of what happened in past relationships you are condemning the relationship. It's okay to trust again and to love again. There are risks, but that's the thing about love. It's worth the risks.
If you plan on engaging in sexual intercourse with another after a divorce, make sure that it is something that you want. Make sure that you can live with the decision and that you are
responsible. Today, you need to take the proper precautions, not only with your feelings, but with your health. You need to make sure that you use protection from STD'S and pregnancy.
When you move onto another relationship, erase the slate. Don't bring up your past a lot. Don't compare your actions with them to how you were with others. If things are right they will work out. Don't look at your life as a system. Love is one of the most mysterious feelings. It's hard to describe it, and it's hard to tell why things happen. You never know when you are going to fall in love and fall out of love. If you take things slow and let things take their own course, you will find that love will find you. You will be very happy.
Don't let your divorce hold you back from having a good relationship.
Finding that new special friend and moving on
Do you find yourself divorced and dating again? It's so hard to find someone special enough to make a move. It's hard enough to even accept your first date let alone start a new life with someone special. Dating is a game that can involve good times and bad times. The thing about love is that you have a risk and everyone has a risk. The excitement is what we live for. It is what we need in our lives.
If you have been out of the game for a long time, you may feel a little out of place. You are now in new situations with new people. Dating is hard and it gets harder the older we get. Why? Because we tend to be on the defense rather than the offense when it comes to dating in our older years. Before you get to the dating, you have to stop and think about a few things. You have to seriously think about what you are looking for and why.
The first thing that you need to do is just your priorities straight. Do you just want to meet new people, do you want to be friends, or this a relationship that you seek? Don't allow anyone to tell you what you should do. You can be in your 60's and seek love; you can be any age and want to seek love. You should never let another person tell you what you want. You need to know what you want first so that you don't mislead anyone or get mixed messages. This is the way that you can date smart. Dating smart means that you both of the same objections and are perfectly matched in goals.
The next thing is to be open-minded. You have forgotten what it is like to be in love. You can make crazy mistakes in the name of love. Don't allow yourself to get too far off the ground. You don't want your heart to break so early in the game. The first date is always the worst. If he calls back, great, and if they don't then it's okay because you have another date. Don't tie yourself down. Play the field to find out what exactly you are looking for. This will let you pick someone because you want to not because you are settling.
When it comes to meeting someone new, be open to the channels of love. Let your family and friends help you get back in the game by doing some blind dating or speed dating. You will want to ask some of your friends to help you find someone and you should ask your family the same thing. The only thing about blind dates is that you want to make sure that your supported. Don't allow someone to say that your too old or blind dates are ridiculous. We all have had a blind date and one or two turned out to be a meaningful relationship.
You can answer a personal ad online or in the newspaper. The only thing that you have to worry about this kind of blind date is that it is done in a public place. You want to make sure that you are safely going to meet someone. Don't allow them to know your full name or where you live until after a few dates and you think that it's someone that you would like to meet.
When you have allowed yourself to meet that special someone, you will find that your life will pick up where it seemed to fall apart and you may have your happiness ever after. The only thing about ever 'afters' is that they normally don't find you, you have to find them.
