Man thanks fellas for all the insight and wisdom.
Ive been thinking and talking with my lawyer, theres really 2 scenarios that I can do in this manner. Either go full out war in where we both higher lawyers and take it to court or I play it cool for now and we do no contest divorce.
War scenario:
I really dont want to go this route unless I absolutely have to. This will be the most expensive & plus my chance of getting full custody is slim to none, because of my son being a newborn. According to my lawyer, in my county, they favor highly to the mother in custody cases so based on that, going full blown may not be a good option. Besides, we've only been married less than 2 years so we dont have hardly any assets together. She doesnt want the house (she couldnt get it anyway since I bought it before we were married. Shes only entitled to the equity that it built during the years we were married). Also, to really win in the a "war" I would need to have some type of proof of my ability as a provider to my son. I just cant show that now because of the situation, which leads to my next point
Playing it cool:
My wife and I are actually talking. She wants a no-contest divorce and willing to have joint custody. My strategy (thinking as of now) is to go through with it and be the best father I can be and when my son becomes school aged, then go for 50/50 custody or full. To her credit, she doesnt want a whole lot in form of assets or child support. Shes not acting like a bitch in those two categories. My lawyer said we can revisit custody situations in 2 years, this should give me ample time to build my case.
All in all, I just want my peace of mind & to be there for my son. Its unfortunate for us men that a women can just leave & youre stuck in a situation like this, when the laws are not really in your favor. I think this can work out for me. It may not be ideal but it may be my best option for now.
Ps: in regard to her having a side dude. I really dont give a fuck about that. I doubt if she did but if thats the case then Ill actually buy that nigga a drink lol.. but on the real I cant worry about some side nigga. Im just concerned for my son.
