[/quote] This sucks. I hate it, but I have to be the warrior in this thing and hold true and firm w/ what I know is right. She expects to get out of this thing w/out any obligations or financial hits. I'm not trying to ruin her, but I'm also not going to give away money and property either.[/quote] Follow your lawyer's advice. Either she has no idea how the D process works, or she is just trying to badger you into making consessions that you don't have to make.

As for your daughters party--you go and act as if. You are her father and the better man. You go for your kid and buy her whatever the he!! you want as a gift.
