Divorce Joke

The grief-stricken man threw himself across the grave and cried bitterly.
"My life, how senseless it is! How worthless is everything about me because you are gone. If only you hadn't died, if only fate had not been so cruel as to take you from this world, how different everything would have been.”
A clergyman happened by and to soothe the man he offered a prayer. Afterward he said, "I assume the person lying beneath this mound of earth was someone of great importance to you."
"Importance? Indeed it was," moaned the man. "It's my wife's first husband!"

I-dont.com.au..........Poll

Our current poll question:

"What is the most challenging aspect of divorce? "

We are finding that the vote is close between Children, Finance and the Decision to Divorce itself.

We are a little surprised that the decision to divorce is ranking so high in the poll. It is an area we currently don’t have much information on or articles in the articles section. However, due to this result we are looking for more contributions in this area. If you have any good links to articles on “The Decision To Divorce” please let us know so we can continue to provide more information on this important topic. If you specialise in the area professionally as a counsellor then feel free to provide us with an article to be published on the i-dont website.

We already provide a variety of articles about how to assist with children on the site and there has been a lot of chat in the Discussion Forums on this topic as well.

Your Thoughts are Wanted - Your help is needed for research about Shared Parenting in Australia...i-dont.com.au has been approached by university researchers, to seek out willing participants who are prepared to participate in a research project on Shared Parenting. The aim of the research is to analyse how parents undertake the practice of parenting their children after they have separated or divorced. Read more about this research project.

With regard to people’s financial concerns, people using i-dont.com.au have shown that financial concerns are challenging at every stages of the divorce process; the initial stages, during and after. We have found there is the finance required to just complete the process of separation and divorce and then of course the financial settlement at the conclusion of the process. There is of course the future cost of running two sets of families if there are children involved as well.

In February 2007 i-dont.com.au is going to introduce you to a brand new finance product that is very suited to divorcing couples. Please stay aware for the announcement in February. Lawyers handling the settlement, Financial Advisers pondering ways through this maze, Mediators trying to find solutions to settlement issues and the divorcing participants themselves will all find this finance solution quite an amazing possibility. Of course it won’t suit everyone but it is an innovative approach to the problem and definitely worth your time to consider as an alternative. contact us if you want to know more

Your answers to these poll questions guide us to providing more of what you want from the i-dont.com.au website. We have refined this Poll into a new poll to clearly rank the top three responses. Keep on voting on every POLL.

Relocating Children

An increasingly common scenario after separation is the desire by the carer of the children of the relationship to move away from the other spouse, whether it be due to employment opportunities, a more desired lifestyle, or a new relationship. Such a relocation of residence may be to a town within the same state, or interstate or overseas. Such a move will normally involve removing the children from their school, their networks, and the other parent and possible extended family members.
