It was nice to hear your voice. I've only talked to one other person on these forums and that was a local lady (goldeylox) who needed me to call the police in case she did not get back to me after a certain time - her H was abusive. Last I read, her marriage was starting to become reconciled.
You are in a fight that most here never have to endure. Most divorces are settled out of court over a time period when cooler heads can work out negotiations. Unfortunately, the circuitry in you STBXW's brain is not functioning normally and she is making the whole process difficult for all involved. The lawyers are the only ones that will gain.
I guess for me, I am still in denial that New York, one of the original 13 colony's, could be so messed up when it comes to family law and what is best for the children. I just hope that you get a judge who has a level head and can see through your STBXW's anger and charade.
