The hearing is Friday but the L will not be able to be there so he is filing a continuance.
L says with the witnesses that she has hit me in the past that I have and the fact that we ML earlier that night and I was invited over this should be a slam dunk.
She is shooting for the moon with custody and maintenance payments.
L says no problem there. We will shoot down restraining order and we will file for D first to protect my butt. L knows that I really do not want D and he reminded me that I can file and then drag settlement out to 6 months or more if I want, but first to file with this type of woman will be the better protected.
Let me know your thoughts.

Went to court today. OM and W did not have L and I do. They both told judge that they think they need orders of protection. Judge then asked if they are ok with putting off the hearing until February 19th. OM and W said ok no problem. Judge raised eyebrows. He would have given them temporary restraining order if they had just asked, but they did not. Judge was also not very impressed that W was setting there in the courtroom arm in arm with OM.

This should go without saying, but from here on out for the foreseeable future, do not be alone with her. Or even with her and kids. No matter *what* she says or how friendly and contrite she might sound. You got your fair warning and then some; a wise man will heed that.

She said okay? Obviously not THAT worried. Which I'm sure the judge picked up on. *shakes head*. Bad move on her part. That and bringing OM to court. *rolls eyes*
Glad someone there had some class and good sense (and I do mean you).
Definitely don't be alone with her, even if you have to ask the sheriff for an escort to pick up the kids, CYA.
