RTL,

Someday, looking back, you are going to realize that all you really wanted was your child full-time. You'll find that your wish to reunite with your wife was more about your child than any real feelings for her. She's a beatch and probably always will be. Down the road I think you'll even feel lucky (like I do) that you aren't with her anymore. Make the most of the time you have with your child. They grow up way too fast. Don't waste time on regrets or worrying about whether she will quit being angry with you or ever change.

Also, unless you are going to be screwed royally by not evaluating your pension plans, I'd get this over with as quickly, and painlessly, as possible. Don't fuss over small sums or waste money on lawyers if you don't have to. You'll feel better to get this out of the way ASAP.
