—FWIW, I’d advised him to disappear and flee to another country...—
This. If the woman files for a “no fault” divorce and there are very young children involved, I would strongly recommend fleeing to another country. It may appear to be a “from the frying pan to the fire” sort of thing, but you have no idea just how screwed up your life can get when she uses the kids against you.
To give you a hint, I knew of one guy that spent $100,000 defending himself against preposterous accusations from his ex that he sexually molested his own children. Of course there was no proof. In family court the wife only has to make the claim in hopes of getting more money/autonomy.
Oh, and he won. But do you think it leaves a scar on everyone touched? And do you think there are any people who still think he “did it”?
“Oh, and he won. But do you think it leaves a scar on everyone touched? And do you think there are any people who still think he “did it”?”
Exactly! That’s why I recommended that he flee or if he does want to try the divorce route, claim he’s gay. Those are the only two options I see.
He’s a white male with two children in MA; can you say FUBAR?
