RTl It sounds like you did fine, remember you were their to defend yourself not DB. I hate to say it but unless you and your W have a great deal of assets stashed away, i think both L's are wrong not to try to get you both to settle without a trail. It is just absurd. Maybe I am wrong but isn't a trail usually for people with huge amounts of money. To my mind both depositions did nothing but make the lawyers more money. I can't imagine that the court would care about any of that nonsense. They just care that the child is taken care of and the assets are distributed. Really, both L's should be putting offers on the table and having you both hash it out. Other than custody, this is all junk. That being said, I am a huge animal lover and a devotee of the show Animal Cops. But if both dogs suffered no ill effect then perhaps you can fight the charge. Like I said before the only winners in this will be the L's. It is so too bad your W does not see this. Obviously her "rage" has clouded her logic.
