I saw W briefly last night before I took the kids to the fire station (cub scouts activity). I reminded her that this Sat was the first "Kids Turn" class of which 4 classes are required in our county to get a divorce when children are involved. She had forgotten all about the class which is typical for her to forget appointments since becoming a WAW. I mentioned that it might be that we dont even need these classes and she replied that we should still take them regardless of whether we get a D or not since we already pre-payed for them.
The classes have 2 simultaneous sessions so that spouses who cant get along are not in the same room. I am kind of hoping that there are some arguments between couples in the class as it might make W realize that her and I are actually pretty good together in comparison to others going through a D. Also, the kids have classes they take so as to understand what divorce is and how to cope with it.
Our mediator agreed with me that the classes are a waste of time for W and myself as we already have the best interest of our children worked out well between us.
I will be scoping out some of the soon to be single women in the class if my D comes to fruition. Just kidding. I am going in with an open mind and maybe I can learn something from the interactions of other couples.
