Went to see the S20 this weekend.. struggled with the pride/joy of watching my offspring shine in his own space, in his own wonderfully quirky way.. and immediately on the heels of that came the disappointment that the one person that I could share that pride/joy about our son.. it was not safe to be in the same room with.
Sadness...
thankfully feelings pass.
financial pieces for the D move along.
StBX died on a hill that it was not worth dieing on in regards to his income levels and the financial games he can play with his business to make it look on the 1040's to the IRS, as if he makes as little $7K a year.. heck 2 years ago he even 'lost' money as his reported income.
I told him if that was the game he was going to play (use the 1040 #'s to justify gettnig more child support from me & not paying alimony) that my Lawyer needed to see all the business agreements he had with his parents for various income streams, as well as all the detailed bookkeeping records his mother keeps on the family business.
When he started to back peddle on this point, and then wanted to go back into negotiations where stated he'd be 'flexible' on what his income would be listed as..... I just kept pointing out that I would not go into mediation again until my lawyer had a chance to look over all that information, so he needed to get busy rounding it up.
I like blaming my lawyer for buying him time to think through his choices.
another day.. thanks for reading. Peace Bridge

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
