You seem confident things will go more your way than hers with the judge. While we would all root for your team very quickly, we would be wrong to assume too much. Things don't always go as expected with judges, as they do see things through their eyes and not ours. They also have to consider volumes of past rulings as they attempt to make consistency part of their "fairness".
Just saying ... don't let yourself be too surprised by surprises. The one thing you can make sure ends up in your favor, is you. Be yourself. Grow. Thrive in the face of whatever comes your way.
She may be unhappy, you can't fix that and she doesn't know how. She may or may not think she will find happiness in your absence, but you can't blame her for your unhappiness if you aren't making your own fun.
You obviously won't be celebrating the end of the M, but you can think of ways to celebrate your survival because you are a Survivor. Think of ways to celebrate what you have instead of what is changed. Celebrate being blessed, because if you decide that you are - You Are.
I do have NO idea how the judge will rule. It just seemed he's tipped his hand a few times though.
Has asked us to fill out a court style financial statement and from that will make a ruling. I may just be to logical here, but if one has a full time job with benefits and makes more $, it would seem to me the other one, who also has some medical issues with a torn up knee and rotater cuff...well I could be surprised for sure.
DBS - I truly understand your situation and wish that the actions of our spouses could be "better" however you defined better.
I will pray that tha judge rulling ruling is delivered in your best interest and meets your heart's desire. Continue to do things for you and your children.
