It may be time to end this thread. The title is no longer valid in that I have detached.
I am headlong into negotiating with my W on the D details. She is focused on the money and I am focused on the kids. It will be interesting to see where this lands. I am going to keep pushing until our meeting next week. At that time I will completely back off and leave it in her court. I am trying to make the point that I want this done ASAP. I am also telling her that the door is closed to her return. I am trying to see if this makes her reconsider - but I don't think so. This is a dangerous 180 but it cannot hurt at this point. She is starting to feel that things will be tough after the D and I am applying pressure to get it done. I am hoping that the pressure builds and wakes her up to the reality of this.
I am being very kind and very nice to her personally but very firm and forceful on the legal stuff. I have found out that she is jealous of my GAL more than I could imagine and that she is very very very money oriented. What she really wants is a free ride. For the rest of her life.
