He and I are going back to court in a few weeks. He had applied to get child support modified, and my alimony is ending (it's been 3 years since D, and I was an idiot who settled!).
Aahh! If only all the newbies could see this and commit it to memory. I think so many people, for so many reasons, make some pretty big financial errors during the throes of divorce. My mantra: There are no do-overs in divorce. Treat it like a business deal. That's what it is. It makes me sad that a lot of people I know have been burnt and then live to regret it a few years down the road....after all the emotions have cooled and all you're left with is the financial reality of life.
You sound great, VJ. Hang in there and let us know what happens in court. Me thinks your EX will be surprised about the child support. Good luck!
