First Thread in a long time......

Just a quick update:

I am having a lovely vacation... I have been relaxing and laughing alot. I am playing with my friends son. He will be in Kindergarten this year, and he was learning to swim.... I get along well with him.
I did speak with my L today. TJ does not have much chance with getting out of temporary spousal support. I do need to be there. Since I have a split start with 1/2 the Kindergarten class beginning that day, I am not avoiding the hearing. But how would you like your darling Kindergarten student having their first day of school with a substitute teacher? Because of a court hearing? What is wrong with my child's teacher if she has to go to court?
So my L will ask for a continuance.
The staggered start for Kindergarten is and has been on our website, so I just don't care if that man in MLC thinks I am delaying. Too bad for him.

I did ask my L if he needs anything from me for the continuance or the actual hearing to support myself against TJ's objection.
He says no. He has everything already. He will not get out of spousal support according to my L.
So I feel ok about the whole thing. I could use the cash, but that can't be avoided. My students are worth it.

For everyone who supported me while I was so down last week,,,,thank you. It hurt alot. I have overcome, and put it in perspective. It is a sad man, doing a sad thing. I can't look for anything rational or considerate from him. He will have to live with this.
So I continue to trust and respect my L. He is very good. I trust him to know what to do.
TJ signed the D document and returned it. I will sign it also, so we are just about done. No delays or avoiding this. Just securing my financial future.
So I am toying with asking the courts to administer the spousal support. I just have a feeling TJ might follow MLC rules and play games with all sorts of payments.
Any wisdom appriciated.
Always spinning,
