Life goes on, and it ain't about Job

[81388*]

Had meeting with lawyer today, I think I lucked out, she wanted to know what I wanted her to do with time frame, drag it out in hope of repair, or get it over with quickly? I had been thinking about that all day and most of last night, my response was as long as it didn't jepordize my position, I would prefer to give it as long as possible. I told her that I did not agree with this divorce and felt uncomfortable agreeing that it was irretrievably broken. Lawyer felt that helped my case and would most likely create more leverage. She warned me that wife would most likely not be happy since it may result in a reccomendation from the court for counciling, or a 12 month separation prior to no fault divorce. Lawyer did not think full custody was a real option unless wife agreed to it, and as you have said, it could be worse. She thought it would be possible to prohibit the kids from meeting the OM, until such time that they are married. At that point it would be next to impossible to prevent it.

One irony, I am being compeled by the court to attend a class on the impact of divorce on kids and how to reduce the impact. I am the one who does understand that impact and is doing everything I can think of to decrease it.
