Ladies lockup your daughters, daughters lockup your mothers, guys lockup your medium sized farm animals. I just got out of divorce court, I guess I'm a free man. My marriage is officially ended. So what do I do now?:confused:

Relax and have a smoke, of course, Don.
Congrats, and may your life increase in happiness, satisfaction, and fullness.

My only question is, did she actually leave you any cigars? Perhaps she does not smoke them, but that likely would not stop her from wanting them anyway. :ss

Get some friends together, have a smoke and a few drinks(if you want). Just enjoy some good conversation and enjoy freedom. Soak it all in Don. It feels great.
Let's define FREE. Do you owe her money each month?
Can she call you anytime "She feels like talking"?
Are there kids involved who will be splitting time?
Freedom isn't free. This is not what they meant, but it sure is a catch all phrase.
If your answer to the above questions was NO each time, congratulations, you are free.

Set up an ultimate relax day at home. Put a cooler in front of the t.v., your Humi, any foods, a case of beer (your choice), and the remote. Watch t.v. for hours on end, smoke, and drink! Your a free man, time to kick back for a good 18 hours :tu

With everything that I've been going threw lately, I've had a pounding headache for the last two weeks. This morning I feel a little better. Hopefully things are starting to clear up.

There was a great quote and I don't remember who it was from and it said something to the effect of "You never really know a woman until you have met her in court"
Thanks for all of the good advice (especially the one about the hooker). I knew that this day was coming but now that It's here, I feel kind of lost.
I've felt this way once before. was happy to be out of the relationship but a little lonely in the evenings. Try to stay busy with friends if you can. Sometimes if I was bored and wanted to chat, I'd talk to people here at the asylum. In fact I still do this occasionally, lots of great people here.
The best advice I can give is to spend some time alone. It may be quiet around the house, but in my experience it's not a good idea to start looking for a new companion just yet. Internet, cigars and maybe a little wine are the best medicine for loneliness.

Been through it as well. Spending some time alone is the best idea. Don't get into another relationship for at least a year, maybe more. And the best thing I did for myself after splitting with my ex-wife was to go see a therapist. Really.
It's not an easy transition, even without kids in the picture. Just be careful, take care of yourself, and remember that just because there's no longer a need to justify your purchases to anyone else, you still need to pay the bills. :2

Take a page from Seinfeld:
GEORGE: (inhales deeply) I tell you, Jerry, I'm feeling something. Something I haven't felt in a long time.
JERRY: Pride?
GEORGE: No. Autonomy, complete and total autonomy.
JERRY: Well, you're your own boss now.
GEORGE: I wanna go to a tractor pull.
JERRY: Go ahead.
GEORGE: I am staying out all night!
JERRY: Who's stopping you?
GEORGE: I wanna bite into a big hunk of cheese, just bite into it like it's an apple.
JERRY: Whatever.

OK, thread hijack, couldn't resist adding the rest/ending: (I bolded my favorite line:r )
Then, after learning that his would-have-been inlaws were inspired by Jerry's remarks from a Star Trek movie to establish a foundation in honor of their deceased daughter and have asked him to sit on the board of directors, George and Jerry have this conversation:
JERRY: Hey.
GEORGE: Hey. How's your day, good?
JERRY: Actually, yeah. I'm meeting Mulva here in a few minutes.
GEORGE: So uh... Wrath of Khan, huh?
JERRY: Yeah. Was that a beauty or what?
GEORGE: What was that line again? Something about finding your way in a shadow?
JERRY: No, no, no, it's... "She's not really dead if we find a way to remember her."
GEORGE: That's it. That's the line... (squirts mustard into Jerry's coffee and stirs it) ...that destroyed my life.
JERRY: (stares into coffee cup and looks back at George) Problem?
GEORGE: The Rosses have started up a foundation, Jerry, and I have to sit on the board of directors.
JERRY: Hey, board of directors. Look at you!
GEORGE: Yeah! Look at me! I was free and clear! I was living the dream! I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!
JERRY: Before we go any further, I'd just like to point out how disturbing it is that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise.
GEORGE: Don't you see? I'm back in.
JERRY: All because of Wrath of Khan?
GEORGE: Yes!
JERRY: Well, it was the best of those movies.

I paid a **** ton of money to my lawyer. In the end the only things I lost were a couch and a table. I got everything else, including the kids and child support.
Congrats on your divorce!! It will get better. The hardest part for me was learning how to date all over again and I was only married for 4 years. Enjoy your freedom! :tu

I know that some of you guys will want to kill me for telling you this but here goes. I received the latest bill from my lawyer today. I still have a $560 balance from my retainer. It looks like my lawyer will end up owing me money. On top of that she told me that if I get the Sheriffs job, she may have some side work for me. That's a switch, a divorce lawyer paying her client money.:D
Now go find the right one!
