Coworker going through a bone crushing divorce right now. Married 15 years with two kids and the oldest boy, 12 years old, is seeing everything.
His wife just decided to change completely one day. She dropped the act is more like it. And then she has new boyfriend and is treating her own kids like pfft whatever, not caring if they go to school, taking them to a clothing store she likes to browse for a few hours on the weekends and calling that being a mom, and just generally being a neglectful cunt who sleeps in until noon all day.
He's crushed, but the dumb bitch is not playing her prospective divorce case very well at all. She moved out, she is verifiably indifferent to spending time with her kids, her kids are disgusted and will probably never trust or respect or like her as much from now on to say the least. It's a shitshow. I'm letting that guy have his phonecalls and fifteen minute text breaks and repeating the most hurtful elements of his situation to me over and over. I just don't want him to cancel his 02 subscription. We need his help lol.

Short of as necessary to exchange the children,
He needs to cease all communication and get counsel before he does something stupid. It doesn't take much to get a dvro against you, even on false allegations plus crocodile tears.

Shut up, make sure you are the one to attend everything such as doctors appointments or teachers conferences, make sure you are known as the provider for the child completely. I heard judges dont take kindly to parents who cant even name the teacher of their kid.

I dunno. That's just where I start. Men are at a greater risk of false allegations in family law matters or having state law turn standard male behavior, i.e. being angry and saying words, into domestic violence.

My coworker hasn't filed for divorce and his wife hasn't either. She just moved out and ended the relationship. He should file first, no?

Just tell him to be very careful about the counsel he chooses. Family law practitioners tend to be the bottom of the barrel. If he can find one that also does complex personal injury cases, e.g. medical cases, that's probably a better choice than someone who just does family law. That's not always the case, but I've met family law attorneys. 😒

And the reason the personal injury guys can be very apt family law counsel is because they know how to put on a show. That world is very different from us civil law guys who are very formal and procedural.
