wife and her attorney are pressuring me to sign divorce papers by end of the year. Even my own attorney seems to have turned on me. Seems to want to give wife everything. Just want a peaceful divorce..i know..let me dream anyway.
what usually makes women pressure men to consent to divorces so they can wrap things up by year end? Taxes..feel like there's something going on and i just can't put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Not sure either. My ex and I divorced (years ago) in the middle of December. I asked my attorney if we had to file together...the answer was "you have to live apart 6 or more months"...we seperated in August...however, if you marry on december 31 you HAVE to file together...SOUNDS CRAZY TO ME...In the state of Texas we have a 60 day cool day period AFTER we file for divorce...there are other areas you need to look into...who has the house? who is paying the mortgage? does she want to be reimbursed if she is staying in the house and paying the monthly payment...your attorney needs to come out and say what his deally-o is with you and not helping you through this...I would not sign anything unless you are ready and you are understanding everything...are there any settlement issues? Ok, I'll quite rambling...I've been burned...so I try to help others by my experiences...

Sometimes people just want to move on. That is true of men and women. Sometimnes they have new relationships, again, that is true of men and women. If you divorce before the end of the year, and it is finalized, taxes must be filed separately.
Every person wants a peaceful divorce. Unfortunately, that often mens do it my way or the highway. That certainly won't get it done quickly. In any divorce, you have to decide what issues are most important and what issues can be coimnpromised.
The good news is that if your spouse wants the matter concluded by the end of the year, she may be willing to make additional compromises to make it so. As a result, for a limited time, you may have a bit more bargaining power.
