I'm glad you were looking like your FINE self Mike!
I agree with BBJ, take the extra time with Caleigh with no questions asked. You deserve the time, who cares WTF Kim's motivations are? It's great that you get to have her with you.
Kim will realize what she's done some day Mike. She will realize that she let a wonderful husband and father go and for what? Some elusive idea of freedom? Her problem - You are a go getter and an all-around super guy. I have no doubt that you will spring back better than ever from this chapter of your life.
I will keep Brian in my prayers and thoughts. I really don't know anything about his situation but I will try to read up and catch up.
Funny how each state has such different requirements in D.
GA doesn't require anything to be done in front of a judge if everyone comes to an agreement on paper. They just file it with the court and the judge signs it and returns to the L's. That's it. Sad.

After following you for a while I probably did not truly understand the emotions running through you today. I took it fro granted that Mike is a rock and he will handle this without any problem whatsoever. I tried to relay my take that this is only legal....but symbolically it means more than that....just like a holiday is just another day....we still let our emotions get the better of us. You know what, I apologize for trying to reduce the emotional aspect in your sitch and Kerry's. I reread your thread and I now realize that today was a tough day....BUT it looks like you have passed with flying colours. The first day of the rest of your life.....
hey John..I'm acting "as if" and showing I'm "tough and a little vulnerable" it draws the ladies in..
That's the way it was here too Mishka. No court. Just sign the papers and it was done in 30 days.
Glad you made it through ok Mike. The extra time with Caleigh will be good. Whatever her motives are...you will have your sweet little girl with you longer.
Mike, been seeing you post on other threads for awhile but never got caught up on your sitch. Something led me here today, of all days, to read up on you and how you were doing.
I've got to say that you sound peaceful, calm. It is a good feeling and if what I sense is true, hold onto it. You deserve some downtime after all of the hell that you have been through. You have reached the light at the end of the tunnel. Tired and dirty, yes, but you are there, with pride, strength and honor intact. Take some time to reflect on what you learned, then get on, getting on.
Oh yeah, and I agree with what others said about time with your D, who cares what W intentions are, it is time with the kid. For my sitch, I asked me W to please check with me first if she ever needed someone to watch the kids while they were with her. It will save us money and give me irreplaceable time with my children.

what you see is true..people here, who have talked to me personally, heard my voice..they know it's true..I've had a few here who may have actually used "Jedi mind tricks" "Vulcan Mind melds" and assorted torture aids to bring me out of the pits of Damsville and get me to see the light ..problem is once you "get this" then it's latches on like a tick and it's hard to go back to what you were..if there actually is a going back...
And to all who have posted I appreciate it..it's sort of mind numbing now to answer every single post..and I have an 83 year old impatient father who happens to be waiting on me to pick him up for a ballgame...
