Re: Wife filing for divorce
You keep asking the same question. I assume that you persist because you seek some sense of security, which is understandable.
If she files for divorce in June, the case will probably last until March or
April of next year, if you do not settle the matter quickly. This delay will be somewhat expensive because the Court will compel the parties to make certain court appearances and perform certain tasks which will incur attorney's fees which a quick settlement would avoid.

Re: Wife filing for divorce
Now, don't take this wrong, but let me summarize:
you are in the middle of a divorce.
You and your soon to be ex both probably have a job. You may have a house. you may have savings, pension, credit card bills, and other things to deal with.
you have a child (children), and child support and college tuition needs to be paid. That is measured in tens of thousand of dollars.
Nothing that an attorney can say over this bulletin board can come close to helping you solve your problems. Careless actions by you will likely cost you thousands of dollars, make your life more difficult, and possibly cause additional harm to the child.
Hire an attorney. Go see an experienced divorce attorney located reasonably near you, and pay the attorney to review your situation carefully with you, and give you some guidance.
