    Just found out that my hubby of 21yrs has been fooling around most of them. I don't even know where or how to start a divorce. I don't know the laws or how much I need to start one. Any advice would help, please.
    Thank You

    Awww, I can't help with divorce attorney advice, but just wanted you to know that I'm so sorry. :-(

    Same here, I've got no advice, just very sorry you have to go through that. Your a better woman than me, I'd need an attorney to get me off from murder charges instead of a divorce attorney. :-(

    I have heard good things about Mary Jo Howard Wells, a local female lawyer. Native Clayton-er.

    I have not used her but just heard good things.

    Soory to hear this sad/bad news, Good Luck.

    MANY moons ago (25 years?) a friend of mine swore by Stephen Woodard. My friend got custody of HIS four children (18mo twins, a 4yo and a 6yo) plus child support from the excuse for a wife.

    Jack and Yates Dobson are ringing bells like crazy for some reason too...

    It's been years since I've been in contact with him - If I could I would call him and get info for you :-(

    Our kids Peds are Drs Bliss & Tetreault ... OT but I bet Martin Tetreault is the husband half.

    This looks like a great site with lots of info and has a helpful looking message board: http://family-law.lawyers.com/divorce/

    ACK! I've known too many people in this county! The right people and the wrong people! You've got me thinking too hard now.

    So after 21 years that's it? You both want out? There's nothing to salvage?

    I think her problem was that he was never all the way "in" and as a result she wants "out". That whole loss of trust thing is hard to overcome especially considering the potential health risks and having to be tested for STDs. It takes two to make a marriage, but one can break it all by themselves.

    Teelalee, you need to also get an appointment to be tested for STDs now and again in six months to be sure you have no long terms "benefits" from his activiities. Your attorney will want to know the results of the test in either case, I am sure.

    Scott Johnson (Mast Law Firm) up at 40/42 is wonderful. I'm really sorry this happened to you, but you do need to get legal advise right away. I was in the same boat 3 years ago and getting a lawyer to handle the legalities was the best thing I ever did.

    :shock: Mary Jo became an attorney?? I didn't know that... I went to school with her. Well, hopefully I'll never need to use her!! ;)

    Hey hon~

    I second Scott Johnson at the Mast LAw firm. Also, there's Jonathan Breeden up here at 40/42. He's good too.

    Know the feeling (sudden separation/divorce)...good luck!

    But 21 years? I guess I can understand if I'd been drifting apart from my wife for a long time. But if she just cheated because of sex and was truly sorry, I'd forgive her.

    I see where you are coming from Josey... and that is very noble of you. It takes a strong person to forgive and even stronger person to forget. Forgetting is the hard part. But she said he had cheated for the most part of the 21 years... that sounds not so good in my book.

    My heart goes out to anyone who has to endure this in a marriage. :-(

    A big ole THIRD for Scott Johnson.

    Scott "held my hand" (not literally of course) thru my entire seperation/divorce. He's a straight shooter and is dang good at what he does. I wouldn't trust anyone else, ESPECIALLY if there are children involved.

    661-2005. You are more than welcome to tell him that Jennifer Konkol referred you.

    Jim Johnson is the best. I know this from experience. If you need a PI, I know one of those too........
