question about getting a divorce
How messy and expensive can it get to have a divorce? I'm seriously thinking of divorcing my wife. We've been together for about 12 years. We have no kids together but we are both co-owners of a house that the mortgage isnt paid off yet and we own one vehicle. We both work together as well.
I don't really want to get into all the gory details but I will say that the passion is gone and that she is a grandma, she has two grown kids with kids of her own. Her kids don't respect me and steal from me which is part of the problem.
Will I have to pay her child support even if the kids arent mine? Also would I have to pay her alimony?
Does any one know, or have been through a similiar situation?

Since the kids are grown and not yours, I doubt you'll have to pay child support. Alimony varies by situation and by the laws of your state. I would suggest talking to an attorney to find out what the laws are in your state. Many attorneys offer a free initial consultation. I'm including a couple links for you as well. They offers general divorce information as well as state-specific information.

if the kids aren't yours you don't have to pay shit. now alimony is something that you don't have to pay as it's decided by your and her lawyers unless you choose selfrepresentation. i say go for it man. life is a bitch and then you marry one. i remember when my friend tom got a divorce he got custody of his son and his lawyer got him out of losing much money at all. alimony is something that is decided in a private hearing between clients, lawyers, and lots of discussion. the house, the car, the joint accounts (if any) will be paritioned out in a hopefully fair (but often one sided) method. i say go for the car and let her have the house but that's just me. i don't know what to tell ya man. i say your best option now is to get legal advice and get it from a lawyer who is one a divorce lawyer and two is one who is familiar with the laws of your state. a buncha teenagers on the internet isn't the best place to go. meet with a divorce lawyer in your town, and the meeting is confidential anyways they should help you to square things out.
