As soon as he left the house he met with an accident

Here is a typical scenario our Cordell & Cordell attorneys hear during initial consultations all the time: The wife comes to them with the bombshell that she wants a divorce, tells the husband that he needs to find a place to stay for a while and in a daze, the husband packs an overnight bag and leaves the home with his tail between his legs. Presenting the court confirmation of your positive involvement and influence in your children's lives is the best way to receive a reasonable custody decision. Freely moving out and only seeing your children occasionally does not foster credibility that keeping close to your children is your top priority. While moving out is tremendously detrimental when you have children, it can also negatively impact childless marriages as well. If you are the primary earner for the household and you decide to find your own apartment while the divorce is pending, there is a chance you could be required by the court to continue paying for your wife's living expenses as well. Not only can this be financially crippling while you are going through a divorce, but it sets up a standard the courts can use when it comes to the decree. If you could afford to support your wife like you had for the months -- or even years -- it took for the divorce to be finalized, there is no reason for the court to believe you cannot continue to do so after the divorce is over.

Toward dawn I heard a taxi go up Gatsby's drive and immediately I jumped out of bed and began to dress—I felt that I had something to tell him, something to warn him about and morning would be too late. Crossing his lawn I saw that his front door was still open and he was leaning against a table in the hall, heavy with dejection or sleep. "Nothing happened," he said wanly. "I waited, and about four o'clock she came to the window and stood there for a minute and then turned out the light." His house had never seemed so enormous to me as it did that night when we hunted through the great rooms for cigarettes. We pushed aside curtains that were like pavilions and felt over innumerable feet of dark wall for electric light switches—once I tumbled with a sort of splash upon the keys of a ghostly piano. There was an inexplicable amount of dust everywhere and the rooms were musty as though they hadn't been aired for many days. I found the humidor on an unfamiliar table with two ...

I was seventeen when I said yes to a man. He found me by accident but when the relationship had to end, it ended with casualties. I don’t know who sustained the biggest injury to the heart but you can guess when you get to the end of the story. I’m twenty-one years old now so this happened not too long ago. I was in school—at SHS when a call came through my phone one evening. I asked who it was and he screamed, “You mean you don’t know who is speaking, Alice? You’ve deleted my number?” I politely responded, “Please this is not Alice. Sorry, it’s a wrong line.” He said sorry and cut the call immediately. A few minutes later, he called again.

He said, “I’m no longer looking for Alice. It’s you I called to talk to. I believe people meet for a reason. There are no accidents in life. There was a reason you picked up the call. Let’s investigate the reason...
