Thank you for the kind words and advice. Regarding the issue of custody, like you I am very protective of my kids and would be very adverse to putting them through any court hearings and/or mediation. I will just have to find other means to try to reach consensus with my W on this issue.
I'm with you regarding dragging things out with the D- that is precisely what I plan to do. At this point, I would like physical S from my W, but I don't know if filing for temporary/emergency custody is the way to go- just yet at least. I think I will let my filing for D followed by the financial disclosure forms I need to complete for all to review marinate for awhile with my W. I think my W needs a lot of time to fully evaluate what a rotten H and life she thinks she has as we march forward to a D she thinks she wants.
Thanks again for the feedback. If there is anyone else out there watching my sitch unfold that would like to offer either tactical, creative and/or practical advice I am all eyes and ears!
