I was married for 14 years and divorced in less than three months. I was in the RAF and injured my spine while serving in Germany. We were posted back to the UK in 1999 and in 2000 I was sent down to Headley Court on a 3 week rehabilitation course but halfway through my seecond week they told me they could do nothing for me because I was in agony all of the time. I found out that the career that I enjoyed so much was over and my wife was leaving me for someone else both on the same day. I got home and she had sold my beautiful Samoyed dogs, emptied the bank account, took my boys and left. I was left with £22k of debt and nothing else. I was heartbroken, 720 miles from home and had nobody to talk to and seriously considered ending it. Things got worse very quickly because I had the CSA treating me like something you wipe off your shoe and taking a third of my pay each month. I then had nasty letters and phone calls from credit card companies including hers and nobody cared about me, they just wanted their money. Eventually I was awarded a generous RAF invalidity pension and decent lump sum along with a war pension. I used the lump sum to clear the worst debts and once out of the RAF got a job with a small engineering firm and eventually cleared the rest so for the first time in 20 years I was debt free. The downside is that job made my spine even worse and I now had problems with my neck. I met a wonderful Scottish woman in October 2001 and after 11 years together we tied the knot in 2012. Out of the blue a couple of years ago my ex contacted me asking if I could let her have copies of our divorce papers. After the lightning divorce she threw at me she lost the papers and wanted me to help her out!! You can guess what the answer was!! I have just learnt that her latest relationship has fallen apart and she is back home at her mothers. What a shame!!
. The daughter got a divorce that cost her money and time because her ex wasn't being cooperative. It took 5yrs all together.
