Everything went smoothly at the lawyer's office. She said we can do most of it through email. I should get the case number next week and be done by the end of August. She is setting everything up as expected. We each keep our own bank accounts, retirement, personal belongings, and cars. I will set up two $51K accounts for the children by the time they reach college age. He signs the Quit Claim. I will not have to refinance. I pay for health insurance and he pays 75% of additional costs like orthodontic work and glasses. He pays 75% of child care and school fees.

I should feel relieved now but I just feel empty. Twenty three years and two children and this is how it ends - with email exchanges. How appropriate since the problems were related to his computer addiction.

I'm taking the kids out to dinner and Build-A-Bear.
