I am a mother that is seeking a divorce from my husband. I am not familar with it. I have two kids with him and know there is going to be more than just a divorce. I do not have any idea on who to contact (an attorney) regarding this. Does anyone know of any attorney for me.
For anyone that wants to hear, I am not embarrassed about this, I should have thought it out before I even did it. But listening to other people, I jumped into something that I should not have. We have been together for 13 years but married for 2. I am hurt internally because of how I am being treated throught this marriage. I am from Michigan, here by myself and living pretty much with his parents. We live in the same building. I am confused and do not know what to do at this point. all of my family is in Michigan and Detroit is not doing so well right now. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Crying!!!!!! Thank you all for listening.
I can't really help you with a recommendation, but I just wanted to tell you to hang in there and you have to do what is best for you and your kids.
Divorce is never easy but sometimes it is necessary. There is a lot of support here for you. These women are very supportive and kind and between us we have a wealth of knowledge to help each other through the tough times.
Good luck to you and your children.
HI C.,
I'm so sorry. Divorce stinks, I know, I've been there. When I divorced my ex-husband, there was a lot of influence from his mother. In fact, I felt like I had to divorce her too, she had a lawyer!!! My lawyer was up against three for my ex (and his mother) and still got me a great deal. He's a good man and he's been practicing law in Chicago a long time (it's his backyard as opposed to my ex's north shore lawyers), he came reccomended to me by a buddy at the Chicago Board of Trade and he's reasonable.
His name is Patrick J Powers. His offices are at: 19 South LaSalle Suite 902 Chicago, Ill. 60603. He also has an office at 6650 N. Northwest Highway in Chicago 60631. His number is: ###-###-####. If you call him, tell him L. O. sent you and we're doing just fine!
Good luck to you. The pain goes away, honest. It just takes some time.
All the Best,
L.
There is no shame in getting a divorce, especially when you are not being treated well. I’d recommend calling Sherry Kessler at 312/419-1433. She is very good and easy to talk to. She’s located downtown.
Stay strong for your babies. They learn how to be treated by watching you. And if you settle, so will they.
Good luck.

I am so sorry. You have to be strong for those kids. Please call my lawyer. He gives free advise and he is very comforting and caring and understands we need to make things as easy as possible for our children. His name is Lucas Figiel, his number is ###-###-####. Tell him Michelle Garica sent you (he'll get a kick because I send everyone there)
I know how you feel, I moved 1000 miles away to Texas for 2 1/2 years and hated it,but I moved for my husbands job. Things were rough between us and I left him, I moved back to Illinois. The time apart made him realize many things and he asked me to take him back, I said he had to move to Illinois. He did, we took it slow, lived seperately and started over, 1 1/2 years later we are good, but if I never would have left, he would have continued to treat me horribly. I did not jump the gun with divorce, I tried to use time to see if things would change. You can file your own divorce, there is software out there, all you have to pay is the court fees. My mom prepared my uncles divorce.. As long as you can agree to custody and child support concerns and dividing up the assets, then you can do it on your own. I know the feeling though, the empitness, the loneliness, the longing for faimly and friends, feeling isolated and just down right depressed. I know those feelings and time worked for me, but time may not be your answer, I left b/c I hated the way he made me feel,but I still loved him deeply, if you find you are not in love with your husband, then time may not change a thing. If you need someone to talk to, you can email me, I understand how you feel.
