I really feel so bad for those kids. They will not find it easy. They're vulnerable and it will get worse as they grow into adolescence without a mother around to guide them, a father that will be too busy to care for them, a nanny that will abuse them and friends that may mislead them.
I think you two are just being too selfish and wicked that you place your own happiness and satisfaction over those innocent children that didn't beg to be born. Whatever you do, I want you to know that you and your estranged wife will be judged if anything bad happen to those children.

Who created the toxic relationship in the first place? Is it not their ego and selfishness?

Let me tell you few things as a lawyer

Divorce is one hell of a process. Even the lawyer handling such matrimonial causes have to be very strong emotionally, if not it might affect him/her emotionally and pschologically. This is because emotions are put into play not just by the parties but also their respective counsel.

on the other hand, the divorce process is a very lengthy one and as such you should be prepared both emotionaly and financially.

Things you should consider are
1 Children and their custody (If the marriage is already blessed with one)
2 Property acquired within the marriage
3 Maintenance fee if it arises
4 Alternative Dispute Resolution ( court wil try as much as possible for you both to reconcile before even hearing your divorce petition).
5 The type of marriage you both underwent (Customary/traditional or Statutory marriage or the both).

Other matters will follow when the process is on
After handling divorce cases, I dumped litigation! Nothing is worth the destruction of my mental well-being.

He hasn’t even mentioned anything specific about being in a toxic relationship. We don’t even know if it’s his/her spouse who wants the divorce. Why not focus on giving him a reply on what he specifically requested?

I am about to get divorced. Just wanted have an idea from people who have experience.

Are there things you wish you did differently?

One advice, whether you were right about the divorce or you were wrong and acted in haste, you are going to regret it. You are going to cry and feel despair/fear. You might want to call up the person and beg. You might want to call up your family and rant/cry
When that feeling of regret comes (it will come) DO NOT ACT ON IT. Lock yourself up: shout, scream, cry to make yourself feel better.

Do not go looking for a relationship with the OPPOSITE SEX UNTIL ALL THE FEELINGS HAVE COME AND GONE.
I honestly wish you have a support system. it makes it better

IT WILL PASS!!!

I think we have passed that stage dear. Just preparing for the aftermath. I really need people who have passed through the experience.

No stage is passed bro.
Even on final court prouncement, even after the pronouncrmrnt, things can be amended for better.

Nevertheless, it's not the end of the world.
If there are kids (underage): you guys have to work out custody sharing and expenses sharing. You have to let the kids know you all are still a family, just that some people will be leaving apart. That will help till they mature to understand and assimilate. (So it doesn't wreck them.emotionally)

If the kids aren't underage: better. You can move forward

If no kids: it's well.

All I can say is, follow God more these period.
It's gonna really hurt when you see happy couples or families for the first few months.
But time will heal, slowly.

Wish you the very best.
If you or her or both wanna talk, I'm here.

Hmmm, now this is something!

Dear OP, if I get you right you want someone to share their divorce experience, how they managed the change in marital status and how they moved on right?

So, let me try...

First, you have to be double sure this is what you want. You must be able to assure yourself that you'll be fine without your partner, and that whatever becomes of him/her matters less to you - let that sink!

Then, you should brace up to adapting to new roles or learning new skills. For example, if you absolutely relied on her for doing the meals, keeping the house etc, that's about to change and you may have to carry these on yourself.

You also need to learn to work on your emotions. cos, trust me, post-divorcement brings a great deal of emotional upsets and imbalances. You must be ready to take jeers, insults and non verbal expressions that insinuate you're an outcast. You must watch it not to take it out on anyone (including yourself) and you must be prepared for the frustrations that come with loneliness (of course, except if you have a new partner in the wait...BTW, I hope this has nothing to do with that house girl you suckled back then grin)

Having said all these, a couple of advise is handy :

* Subscribe to one or more social groups of Divorcées (they abound online)

* Calm down and be deliberate and calculative about your next moves... you don't want a bad history repeated ain't?

* Watch your libido! it's the easiest temptation for formerly married persons. Widowhood or divorcement is no license to indiscriminate sexual activities! Save your time, money and soul!

* Be introspective! Now is the time to reflect on how you lived with your Ex. Time to right your own faults and grow beyond dwelling on the faults of the other party.

* Be kind, friendly (without being suggestive) to your Ex should your paths ever cross after the divorce - There's no point bearing grudges. After all we are often kind to strangers...

* If you have kids between you, do your best to remain an excellent Dad/Mom. Impart in them the need to be optimistic about marriage, not withstanding your own experience. Let them know that marital relationships do still thrive! They really don't need to tow your path.

Please note that parting with a loved one is as sore as being bereaved. If you must do this, then Man up!

All the best!

Divorce means freedom from prison, so that you try other soups because you have been eating only egusi soup for ages and you need to try other soup like okro, ogbola and afam soup and edikang ikong soup...... Coming back home everyday to find things in the same exact positions you left them...... The only disadvantage is always coming back to your kids running after you to great and hug you.....thats only if your ex wife was granted custody of the kids, because kids makes every home lively, but believe me, with time you are going to get over it

If children are involved, it’s not a good option especially if issues involved can be resolved in other ways.

But if there are no children, you can go ahead. But be sure of one thing. After the divorce you will move on to another woman eventually. Then you will realize that most women are same, you just have to learn them and theres a possibility the one you divorced will be better than the new one, just that you may not have applied the right solution.

And when you encounter issues with the second one, you can no longer complain else people will say that the problem is obvious you not the women. That’s when you’re forced to endure, then die silently.

So, separation is not always the end of a problem, sometimes it’s the beginning of an endless heartache.

I wish you well brother.

A wedding is easy, but marriage is not.

As a family lawyer, a student counsellor and a married man, it's not always easy to practice what you preach. But despite this, I will always advise divorce as a last resort. I prefer judicial separation.

The heart gets fonder with time and you are bound to miss each other's craziness, this will spark some hope of reconciliation, no matter how little that spark might be.

Divorce could be messy and there is no easy way to move on as a divorcee.

One bad thing about divorce is the fact that you will always use him/her as a standard in your new relationships, and this will be the genesis of many failed relationship.

Another thing is the fact that it might take a while for you to adjust to this new way of life.

I remember after some cases, the client will always call to hang out and visit the office with an excuse of having sessions they didn't need. I guess they just need someone to talk to.

Some take to beer and whoredom, while others simply bury themselves in workload. Working 12-20 hours, 7 days a week.

Let's not talk about the need to start cooking your food. As for the kids, it could change them forever.
