Help, From a lawyer.........

OK guys, so I called and left voice mails at 25 places, and the first guy just called me back. he said the same thing you guys said " CALM DOWN ", he does this for a living and said we can get a continuance. it seems like a dirty trick to tell some guy he is getting divorced on a Friday night, and then he is getting kicked out of his house 60 hours later. I know how rough lawyers can be, but sheesh.....

Yep. Like I said, last minute notification is game for crappy lawyers with barely a case.
Reason being, if they barely have a case to start with, you have no time to prepare a proper argument against the little they do have. And this works because your left with no time to find representation. And most do not know how court procedures work.

Example, any document for your case must be submitted 24 hours before court. this is required because it gives the other party time to review and prepare against it. If you can't find a lawyer before you have to be there, use that argument as well. That you new a conituance because you're currently representing yourself and wasn't even given ample time that you could file the necessary paperwork to dispute her claims.

Again this is stuff that will make a judge see she's just trying to railroad you and make you look all the better.

And bring up the fact this is her 4th divorce and she knows the procedure in which to railroad you by.

I think nowadays you have to have mediation and such before a divorce is granted

Don't change ownership paperwork on anything. But if you have sentimental or small valuable items in the house you should remove hem pronto

And I'd quickly install a couple cameras So you can see when she comes and goes and what she takes when you're not home

You won't need a lawyer for the first appearance and maybe not at all
Depending in what she is demanding to get

If she wants you to move out yet continue to pay for everything
I don't think a judge will grant that if you don't have kids together
 
Whatever you do DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE !! Even if she comes back, don't go to a friends to stay, don't go to a hotel and stay, just continue to live there. If she comes back, just keep on opposite sides/rooms from her. Her leaving the house first will work against her. Good luck !

Edit: Do put up some cameras like the post above recommended .....that's a good idea.

All kidding aside, your on the Long Journey. It will all work out eventually, but for now, RELAX and BREATHE. Either you will find an Lawyer to get you a continuance or the the Judge will grant you one long enough to get an Lawyer. It's gonna be an emotional Rollercoaster the whole way. But don't Panic. Again the Panic will keep coming at you, but you need to keep it at bay and keep your whits about you. Again Breathe. Listen to the Guys here that have been through it. Hold your Temper and DON'T give her any ammunition to use against you, but firmly stand your Ground.

There is simply no limit to what some women will say and do in a divorce proceeding (I imagine some men too). Protect yourself by all legal means necessary. Sorry you are going through this man, if you take marriage seriously and someone pulls something like this it, can be ruinous to your physical, emotional and financial health. Take care of yourself.

Good luck.
