Big Sigh of Relief

If I’ve seemed a bit off or curt, it’s been due to a life being a roller coaster. I believe it has come to a stop.
Our younger son’s divorce was finally finalized today. It’s a bit sad, but a huge relief.
He saw his ex for the first time, since he threw her out of his house on July 4th. They did not speak, although he told us she was about to say something. He didn’t want to hear another lie, so walked away.
He let the lawyers battle out his final demands. Thank heavens for his brilliant lawyer and the sage advice our older son drafted into the documents. He’s a corporate attorney, not a divorce lawyer, but he knows his contracts.
Our son came out smelling like a rose, so to speak. His ex will not get the big, beautiful, costly house or his money, but in return she will get a cash settlement just to shut her up and make her disappear.
We all let out a big sigh of relief. We are so happy this ordeal is finally over.

The ex deserved the divorce.

Thank you. He feels a bit emotional, but that’s to be expected. He plans on going to Boston to party with friends, and tomorrow is having a friend hang out with him for his meatless nachos and some football games on TV.
Hubs and I are soooooo relieved this is over.

That's the hassle of divorce that you need to go through the settlement. We don't have divorce here but I find the younger generation avoiding to get married, they just live together and get pregnant. It looks like a convenient way of settling down.

@DianneN so nice to hear that they have no children. When I separated with my first wife, she went to the US with our daughter. But I did not protest just to have a little peace between us.

@Alexandoy I’m sorry to hear that. Do you ever get to see your daughter or she you? I know you are remarried.

@shaggin She was kind enough not to ask for alimony 
. They were only married for 18 months, so the courts wouldn’t be too sympathetic to her if my son took her to trial. However, trial would have cost them both a fortune. We suggested he pay her off and make her disappear.

Its really a big relief because of its the most hard thing here as its a business where girls demand a lot of money for a divorce.

@birjudanak Yes, the game really started with her. Now it’s all over for her and she’s all alone.
They knew each other for 7 years, but you really never know some people.

Yes, she tried for lots of money, but they agreed on an amount. My son wouldn’t budge and would have taken it to trial if he had to knowing she couldn’t afford a lawyer for that long. He still thinks that she didn’t deserve anything after what she did to him - sexting and lying during the marriage.

Thank you. This has been dragging on and going back and forth for far too long. He’s a little sad and angry at her lack of remorse, but he will be fine. He’s in Boston partying with his friends, male and female. It’s just what he needs now.
We are so relieved!

Indeed, it would be a big relief for him. I think he would take time to adjust to the changes. But living with such a dishonest person is not worthy.
