Watcher, it was. Seeing it just made it a reality.
Ok, I went and spoke to JAG, and they gave me some legal advice. I want to run this by the board, as it conflicts with what I have been told to do. The JAG recommends that I do NOT stay in the home. The reason for that is, all she has to do is call the police, say I threatened her, and I will be removed from the home. I asked again, to make sure, and the JAG told me, all she has to do is whisper that I threatened her, and I will be removed from the home. I asked about a recording device to help with that-not going to have any effect-not legal, but I will use my recorder just the same. Also, this would paint a not so pretty picture with the judge as far as custody goes, because that is what I am shooting for-full custody-if I have a restraining order against me for threatening her. Also, it could affect my job/career. Thoughts on that?
Also, I did buy a digital recorder, just so that I could record conversations, even though I probably won't be able to use them. Just another safeguard to help me focus on the task at hand. I am not really concerned about getting served now, as the SCRA protects me for 90 days, then I just re-file it if I need more time. It's just legal paperwork-nothing more-nothing less. I have paid all of the household bills, and given her $$$ for groceries, so I am covered as far as support goes. I think the only thing left to prepare-is me. I gotta get right in the membrane. Gotta protect myself, gotta protect my boys. I have to stand up for me, and what is best for ME. I look forward to hearing from you all in the coming days. Thanks to those that are continuing to help me. Hopefully, those that are reading my sitch, are getting something out of it, and can apply/use the advice given to me, in their sitch.
