Thanks, Kerry! I will run by the bookstore this afternoon. I am only working a 1/2 day because.....
I have an appt. in exactly 2 hours with my attorney to write up the 'official' settlement draft. If Dan signs off, the only thing left is to take a class in January on coparenting and then the judge signs off...
I am weirdly excited, just to find out for sure how much $ I can expect on having each month, what I can plan for, etc. I just hope they don't find a wrinkle somewhere that needs ironing out first... Without hiring a forensic accountant I just have to 'trust' that Dan is being fully legit on how much his cows, etc are worth. However we do have the amounts claimed on our last several years of tax returns to go by as well.
I don't really care how much lump sum I get, I am more concerned with the monthly amount so I can start a real budget.
Is it wrong that I have spent more time thinking about CAs eyes today than I have about meeting my attorney?
