Karen,
They just want to reduce the amount of child support/alimony you'd receive. Your husband is thinking 100% about himself and his finances and validating it with the whole social cr@p arguement (as if special ed teachers are educated in how to actually teach children with dyslexia! Very few know anything about Orton-Gillingham based methods. Also, not every school has an effective autism/asperger's program!!!).

Whatever you do. Do NOT make any changes at this point. (I believe any divorce attorney would recommend that). Please make sure that if you do go into divorce you get the very best attorney and fight to get what your children will need to help ensure their emotional well-being as best as possible. I have special needs kids too, and that was the one area I was prepared to battle for.

EDITED, EMAIL ADDRESS NOT ALLOWED

But a friend recently gave me a huge bag of books she just finished \:\) . My favorite from it so far is "The Memory Keeper's Daughter."

There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
