Close encounters of the MLC kind

[BeingMe]

I don't know how much my advice would be worth re the actual divorce. But, I would say go with the route that will cost you the least, but gain you the most. Your H does earn a lot more, and this could lead to his having to pay all legal fees, plus a nice CS and spousal support. He may be more prone to be fair with you and D, rather than give it to the lawyers. But then, your H is a supremely foolish man, so who knows what he will do. I hope your lawyer will have some good, sound advice.

Be strong, and don't see yourself as a victim. We are only victims if we allow ourselves to be. Mmm, didn't Elenore Rooseveld say something like that? You are a well educated, spiritually strong, loving mother, who did not ask for all this, but dammit, show that you will get the best out of it. Yes, strategize, but you also have to have the right attitude ... the one that says "you ain't riding over me and my daughter with a fight, mistuh foolish H",

Take care.
