I'm also going to open up a seperate checking account. I'll still make sure there's money in the joint account for the kids, but her parents have wanted this divorce since before we were married (they told her to call off the engagement), and have been nothing but rude to me and my family since the marriage, I have no desire to "pay them back" unless I get my family back.

I want to say "your parents wanted this, they can pay the child support" but I'm pretty sure that would be used against me in court somehow. I'm sure everything I've written or said, even if it was not meant in anger, is going to be used in court to "prove" my violent temper. There's been no violence or even the hint of it, but she's gone to a very dark place and is willing to lie to get her way now, it seems.

It's also odd that she would beg me not to talk bad about her to the kids (which I would never do), when her parents have already been bad mouthing me to the kids already. I have to be civil, but they don't, apparently.

Mostly, I just miss the kids. I'm not so sure I miss my wife anymore, after that. I don't know.

I need a good lawyer.
