Kalni, I did the same thing and he threw it in my face yesterday a few times. It was getting ugly and it's easy to get there.

I do have a lawyer, but I haven't hired her on retainer. She's a friend of mine and she said that since it looked like H and I weren't too far off that my best bet (financially) will be to come to our agreements and have her reviewing them, charging hourly. I've shot off a few emails already and once H finishes everything, I'm going to read it, bring it to her, tell her what I think is missing and get her recommendations on what to change/add/delete/reword, etc.

I agree about not just being the Disneyland Dad. And I'm thinking that, in as much as I love, love, love my neighbors, perhaps I should just move into the rental on Aug 1. My days are filled with the regular chores of having a house, multiplied by it being a big house. He gets the chance to do nothing but play with the kids because how much upkeep is a 1-bd apartment? Then I wonder if having the support of my neighbors/friends on the block would be worth staying or would breaking free and moving be best for me?

what to do, what to do...
