Very valid points both of you. And Pam that is exactly the attitude my H took. He has refused to retain an attorney and asked me to talk with my lawyer, tell her what I want (even if it is his underwear) and draft an agreement. He offered to sign it sight unseen. The only thing he wanted is joint custody of our D (with me keeping sole physical custody) and for me to wait two days before serving him the papers. He even let me set the visitation schedule and gave me the books!
It totally snuffed the wind out of my wings. I had expected a huge fight and there was none. So I did not have him served and I have kept everything on hold since then. I guess I am as paralized as David. Hoping against all hope but not daring to trust quite yet.
I need to do some major thinking...
