Goin through a divorce. Was accused of a four month affair by another woman. No proof. Wife wants to reconcile. I want out. She decides to settle because I've moved all my stuff out and it's apparent that I'm not coming back and am serious about the divorce. I'm giving her way more than half just to get out, including paid off house and land. This weekend I went out with some friends, two being female but I have no further interests in them other than them being good friends. She finds out where I was and came in and took pictures of us all dancing, without my knowledge. When leaving this club, I was on the phone with my friends and trying to tell them which way I was exiting the parking lot because they were smashed and I wanted to follow them and make sure they made it. On the phone with my window down and she comes up and snatches my phone and takes of. Turns around and tells me about the pics then. I get out and walk towards her, not wanting to draw attention from security and cops. She runs back to my truck, gets in and locks the doors. I begin to walk toward the cops to get them involved. She gets out and throws the keys at my truck and takes off running to her car. Get in my truck and gun is also missing. Got it back from some friends that took it from here but she still has my phone. Had hers and mine turned off. Need to know what to do at this point. No papers have been drawn up yet. Was thinking of turning off all utilities at the house, they're in my name, and also getting a restraining order put against her. Haven't heard from her since that night, Saturday night. Just need some advice. She doesn't have the resources, as of yet, to hire a lawyer. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would make a police report of the stolen phone - and while at it, document the other behavior with the police.
Turn the phone off and get a new one-

If another incident happens file for a restraining order -

Forgot to mention that once went to the house to get clothes and she was tryin to get me to stay and then once she realized I was leaving, she got physical. Called sheriff out and she even slammed my hand in the door with him present. Didn't press charges because I'm just wanting to get out.

I presume there are no children.

"Goin through a divorce."
Apparently not. You wrote, "No papers have been drawn up yet."

"Was accused of a four month affair by another woman."
Who is the other woman who accused you? What did she hope to gain?

"No proof."
I find it interesting that you don't deny the accusation. The simple claim that there is no proof leads me to infer that you did, in fact, have an affair.

"Was thinking of turning off all utilities at the house, they're in my name"
There is no reason for you to continue to pay for things you aren't using, but you should give her several days of notice so she can have them put in her name if she desires. Doing otherwise may make you look petty and vindictive to a judge down the road.

"also getting a restraining order put against her"
Talk to an attorney. This is for several reasons. One is that things are getting complicated very quickly. You'll want an experienced attorney to sort things out. Another is that he or she may be able to put things in perspective. Things are always more heated during a divorce, especially initially, than they are later on.

The other woman was a friend she and she has nothing to gain. Married with two children. We have no children. By stating, "Going through a divorce." I was meanin that is the intentions. I'm wanting that. We resided in Lamar county but I am now staying with my parents in Forrest county. Any recommendations on a good, honest lawyer (if such a thing exists.)?

And I do deny the accusation.

"The other woman was a friend she and she has nothing to gain."
Then I'm confused. Did you mean you were accused by your wife of having an affair with another woman? The way it reads ("Was accused of a four month affair by another woman"), some woman told your wife that she was having an affair with you.

"I was meanin that is the intentions. I'm wanting that."
Okay. It makes a difference in how you proceed. If you had already filed, there would, if MS is anything like TX, be a fairly standard restraining order in place. It's usually about things like ruining the other person's credit, harassing the other person, et cetera. It's not a "Do not get within 500 feet" type order.

"We resided in Lamar county but I am now staying with my parents in Forrest county"
You'll probably want to file in Lamar County, as it was the county of the marital residence (and it would therefore have jurisdiction), but an attorney would be able to tell you for sure.

"Any recommendations on a good, honest lawyer (if such a thing exists.)?"
Sure they do. Mint condition Joe DiMaggio rookie cards exist, too, but they are quite rare. Try:

The other woman was a close fried. We talked alot because we both had marriage problems. She started getting attached and wanted it to become physical but that was too much for me so I was trying to back out. She then starts this whole four month affair thing. Now been black listed, so to speak, with all the mutual friends and business associations once had.

"I was trying to back out. She then starts this whole four month affair thing"
Hell hath no fury like a ------- scorned.

LOL! Amen. Thanks for the advice.

For anyone in the Forrest county or surrounding area, attorney Jonathan M. Farris is one of the rare ones.
