Well, I hope that you got out of it without lawyers mining the majority of your bank account!

It was uncontested. Took her awhile to come to an agreement but it cost me a whopping $408 for the filing fee. I've got my son 50% custody. :thumbup

All married folks should be so lucky when things go sideways the spouse says no hate, let's be civil, split things 50/50 and get on with life.

Wow! Glad it was amicable and painless (from a financial/legal standpoint), it could have been much, much worse! :thumbup

Wow that great. Congrats! I thought I got off cheap for $2500. :laughing

When you spend time with your son, It will be important maintain a good attitude towards his Mother. Always try to be civil, positive, and don't trash talk her in front of your son.
Best Wishes on the rest of your life. :)

Kids see/hear more than we realize, always take the high ground and remember that you're setting an example for your child(ren) under circumstances where you're separated from their other parent. No matter how bad the things are that the other parent is doing/saying, always be the adult that you want your kids to be when they grow up. Don't worry, they'll be able to see the difference and decide for themselves and I know it can be incredibly hard sometimes if the other parent is not doing the same thing (This is not just for the OP, in fact it seems like it will be much less of an issue, fortunately, for the OP).

Now, it's on to dating for the OP once he's past the period of getting over the disappointment of the failed marriage. I went through 3 years where my kids had no idea that I had dated anybody, I didn't want them to go through the cycles of meeting somebody they liked only to have that person disappear, the only person they met was the woman I married and who was the mother of their younger brother.

Jeff, i was in the same situation 5 years ago, and its true what they say. Time heals.
Good for you, keep the good attitude and always be there for your son. Lead a good example. I don't know if you remember, but its seems like only yesterday i was helping you both moving in to your new house at Tracy at that time.
But things always change. And it should change for the better.
I wish you luck pare.
And thank you for serving our country.
Currently my nephew is in the service. He's actually rigth there in Florida.
God speed.
