I’m Jennifer, a 36 37 38 39 year-old, single mom to 3 great children.
Shaunna is 15 16 17 18, JJ is 6 7 8 and Bekah is 3 4 5 6.
Yes, they all have the same father. (It’s a question I’ve heard before, and it seriously pisses me off.)
After 14 years of wedded bliss, and 18 months of divorce hell, my lawyer is $10,000 11,250 14,000 16,000 richer, and I am alone. Alone in the good way. As in “not lonely,” but content that there is no one to tell me what to do, or how I suck, or what a shitty person I am.
So sit back, grab a margarita, and read about the trials and tribulations of a 30-something hitting the dating scene, all while juggling full-time work, raising a teenager college student, an elementary schooler, and a pre-schooler and two elementary schoolers.
And you thought you had it rough.

Hi,
I am a doctoral student at Georgia State University and I am currently working with Dr. Julie Ancis at Georgia State University on divorce and custody issues faced by women. I have a blurb about the research project and contact details which I would like to send to you. I would appreciate it very much if you could post information on your webpage. Here’s the information.

Participants Needed for Divorce and Custody Dispute Study
Dr. Julie Ancis, a professor of Counseling Psychology at Georgia State
University, is studying women’s experiences with divorce and custody
disputes. The purpose of this research is to gain an understanding of
women’s experiences within the legal system. Individual interviews are
being conducted with participants, and will cover topics such as
interactions with attorneys, judges, and guardian ad litems; coping; and
parenting issues. Interviews are confidential and tend to last between 1
½ to 2 1/2 hours. With the knowledge gained through this study, we would
like to educate those in the court systems and health professionals
about the unique challenges that women may face in divorce and custody
disputes. We may pursue a study about men’s experiences at a future
date. Thank you for your consideration!
