I know you are a lawyer and surely know more than the average bear about how to navigate these waters. But your emotions about this particular case will interfere with your objectivity.
NO DOUBT THERE. "The L who represents him/herself has a fool for a client." I have no intention of representing myself in the D. So, Gardener is correct that I need to sit down with a D L first.
I also have no intention of agreeing to anything more than the law says I must do. Agreeing is one thing and doing more than that (I'm thinking of $$ for the kids) on MY terms is quite another. I want control of that. In my view, D does not mean I am financing Mrs. GIMA's new solo lifestyle. We will BOTH suffer for her decision.
