Hey everyone, D settlement talks over, W called this morning and set the time for us to talk, said she had a couple of items written down and asked me about what I had written. I told her I had 8 typed pages (and I did) everything from who gets the kids, babysitters, vacations, holidays, medical, auto insurance, house, custody of the children. Once she heard this, she didn't even bring her list.

I get physical custody of the kids, we share legal custody. She will legally be able to see the kids every other weekend. I get the house (full title) I don't pay any alimony, I get the new 2007 mini-van (Grand Caravan), she gets the 1997 Ford F-150 pick-up, she has to pay for her own auto insurance.

I give up half of my 401K, I don't go after her for child support (she don't have any money anyway) and I pay her medical insurance for 1 year. Thats it, 401K is a good chunk of change for her $88,000, she was legally entitled to about half of this but I wanted to be fair becasue she is giving up title to the house and her half of the equity we have built up would be about $44,000. She said that she considered it fair.

I don't care about the $ I can make more, I have my babies YEAH !!!!! \:\)

I had to step away several times, because she started talking about our R telling me she was sorry for hurting me, I told her I don't want to hear that, she said it so many times it doesn't mean anything. She tried to push me on being able to pick up the kids and take them to school and again I would not back down on this issue, I don't want her around here, I don't want to see her everyday good bye good bye, get away from me.

FYI My mom called today, asked how I was doing, she said my MIL called her, I know my MIL is so upset with her daughter and really respects me.

Anyone have any idea how long it will take if L starts paperwork next week ??

I appreciate everyone looking in on me, and I truley wish you all didn't have to go through what you are going through. I'll keep you all in my prayers.
