To all...my attorney called me yesterday. Apparently my cross motion woke everybody up. The LG wrote a letter basically saying, "well..maybe we should revisit the forensic psychological stuff now". Her atty now seems to want to settle this as soon as possible. She told me that her L was NOT happy about his client's religious waffling and wants ME to send HIM a list of counselor's covered by our insurance.
My cross motion requested the following relief: 1) Court ordered counseling for my kids 2) Notification of dental and medical appts. 3) Non exclusion from school projects, notifications, etc 5) Notification of baby sitting arrangements (see below)and right of first refusal with the kids 4) 'Non interference' with their religious upbringing.
Her request, as you know, requested that I be thrown out of the house, $25,000 in legal fees and temporary sole custody AND...to be able to be entitled to maintain her same standard of living.
Hmmm....I can't do that so why should she?
Mom of the year. I guess they didn't believe me last year.
It's so sad...just so sad...what people have to go thru...put each other thru.....and leave their kids as collateral damage. As I've said before, when you were the top lacrosse team in the area and you play the $hitttiest team in the area...you begin to play like $hitttttt.
In some ways, I am so frustrated to have to play this game of divorce. It's so 'not me'. I love being family. I am a romantic at heart. I am a hands on dad. I love my children deeply. I worked hard in my life to become a surgeon...yet...here I am like many others here....1 in 2 that walk down the aisle.

PS....Wednesday is usually my day with the kids..to do homework and hang, etc. Of late, her parents have been taking them STRAIGHT off the bus and I've been left without my kids for a few hours. Not only doesn't she ask me if I am available but doesn't tell me the arrangements. Yesterday, as I turned the corner to meet my kids at the bus, her father was waiting there in front of my house...the very man who sued me in small claims court. He accelerated and drove off.
I had time with my kids.
