Rob, Your trial is going to start Monday? Hope you can prevent this as it will be so expensive. Reading your sitch has made me hold off going to a lawyer and filing, I know that most of what we have will go to legal fees. It is not easy , but neither is the legal process of divorce. I just hope you can put this behind you without much more bleeding of money. It is amazing how divorce lawyers can take your money for things that you will never get. It is their job, I know. Your W will only have "ashes in her hand" while you will retain your self respect. You did all you could to fix a troubled relationship for the sake of the child you brought into the world together. Amazing, leaving dogs in car and they came to no harm worked against you, but a young woman sleeping with a random man in front of a 5 year old is fine. You will put this behind you, put it behind you for at least money as you can. Oh , can anyone tell me how to start a thread? I plead ignorance
