Every state has the option to divorce for abandonment. Always use it if there’s any chance at all that it is appropriate. The outcome is generally better for the spouse that was abandoned.

Anonymousabout 1 month agoHm... For the first time I meet a story on LW, where the reason for the dissolution of marriage by the wife is simply greed. Not her going to greener pastures to some rich asshole, but inexplicable greed in its purest form.

Chopinesqueover 1 year agoVery good read. Technically strong writing, and the editors did good work too. Each character was interesting, but my one suggestion is this: What the hell happened to make a sane, presumably decent woman do that? It seems inhuman for a woman to sacrifice all her relationships for, what? More money? Was she poor? Was her life not complete? Men can go off the rails, and women are human and fallible too. But still. What could realistically make this character DO that? Her husband would presumably know her well enough to have some inkling, but nope.

"Gisele was right. I had been putting off the inevitable." - Fucking finally!

"At least I'll have something to start my life with again when I do get out." - Even IF she could keep what was legally earned, there'd probably still be penalties and fines, plus half to Geoff.

I don't remember what I've scored this in the past, but I don't think I can score this now. It's a very good story, if overly long. I don't see how divorcing him protects him. If there's no evidence linking him to the crime, there's nothing they can do. The "I'm still married" crap was bullshit. She hit him with divorce papers and fled the country, stick a fork in the marriage, it's ovah! BTW, if it was all for the family, why not give him his share at the beginning, instead of her greedy rant?
