RTL,
I know I mentioned before that over 20 years ago my H and I were separated for over a year. We went through courts and lawyers and got back together the night before the trail. We had 3 little girls and a raging custody battle. We did terrible things to each other in court, and yes , we both had to give depositions.Believe it or not, we both still loved each other through all the terrible things we did. Actually we were about your age. I even refused to sell the house and my H was having it forclosed on, when he came back he reclaimed it. It was a last min save. From that experience, I truly believe that if there is real love between you, it will triumph no matter what. If not, you have lost nothing. Have the deposition, it is legally important, yes you will both be angry when you read it and your W will probably lie under oath. Just know , if you love each other, no court or leagal action will tear you apart.
