I think she's been instructed to show some effort in keeping the housein order - something she did not spend much time on in recent years.
Any good D atty would have advised her to do this.
I hope to god you're not co-signing the loan, nor paying her AmEx bill???
Hi PDT,
I told her tonight that I'm not cosigning a loan or paying the charges on the AMEX not related to the family. She's going to go ahead with some motion I think for support. She's been gathering all sorts of finanical data to show her contribution to the marriage , which in the first half was very significant.
She approached it like she was doing me a favor to minimize expenses and interest because I'd just have to pay later.
She offered me a 3 day custody situation today. I said I want 50%, she said how can you do that if you work full time? I had previously said that I'd be glad to have after school care or pick them up from her.
I told her I feel sorry for her - she asked why, I just said for a lot of reasons.
I told her this whole thing is really foolish. Today I took my sons on an outing to a military fort museum - she declined to come. My older son asked repeatedly why she couldn't come with us. She just said she had things to do and that he should do stuff with Daddy. My son kept bemoaning that she never eats dinner with us, is always shopping or going out, etc. He's starting to sound like me.
