Hi Mwel I am glad to hear that today is going good for you. That is always a good sign. I say you have a good plan of asking for them once she serves you with the papers. I think that is fair and reasonable to ask for the rings back then and offer to give her yours. I mean if you are still paying for them then you should get them back.
Well I hope that she will go with you but it may not work and she may end up mad at your mother in law for getting involved. Be careful involving the in laws in your problems since it is their daughter and more than likely in the end they will be on her side not yours. Also probably most of what you say to them will be repeated back to her not in a malice way and they may think they are helping but still be careful as it could undo all the good you have done.

So far another good day. Actually my mother-in-law emails me almost everyday. She tells me that she loves me and that she wishes that there is something that she can do to change all of this. She does not tell my W that we talk, so everything that we talk about is just between us so Im not worried about her telling my W what is going on. She is actually trying to ask my W to go with me as a last chance kind of deal. What makes my in-laws great people is that they do not side with either of us. They want us to make it work but they try not to get in the middle of it. I am going to ask my W if she will attend the seminar with me. On the website it is gives a list of things to do and people to ask if your spouse does not want to attend, so I am going to try some of those. Talked to my W last night for like 10 minutes, she is sick and didn't feel good so that is why it was so short. I told her that if she needed anything dont hesitate to ask me, even if that means for me to drive up there.
