Yep, another WAW - in last resort

[lonelywolf]

Thank you for the advice.

Mostly, at this point, most of what I'm doing is based on my mother's advice. She was right when this first started (she kept telling me to back off and give my wife space, but I didn't) and the few really dumb things I've done since then have been ignoring my mother's advice.

My mother says that there have been many times that she's been where my wife is right now, only my mother decided that no matter what, she was better with my dad then without. Since she has pretty much a 100% correct rate so far, I'm following her advice. Right now, she's telling me there's time to fight in the courts if the divorce papers actually get served, but that my wife is feeling so hurt and vulnerable, any aggressive actions on my part will perceived in the wrong way (even if there's no anger behind it - my wife will see it as coming from anger anyway).

However, I did some more research, and when I do go to Arizona, if she or her parents try to prevent me from seeing the kids, that's legally kidnapping. I'm sure her parents may push her to get a restraining order, but that can only happen if they lie in court - I could easily get it dismissed, I'm sure.

I'll keep reporting on what happens, as it happens.
