DBD, be wary of what your Ls tell you. They have a job to do and other motivations behind their advice. Financial support is necessary, but YOU are paying THEM so if you don't want to file for D, don't! So what if you file separately for financial support and then file for D later if you choose?
That's what I'm feeling. It's been nagging at me. And I noticed I have most of the documents needed for filing. He'd have to come and get them to begin the D. That realization just gave me comfort thinking it won't be easy for him.
@cutter: Hmm... I'm having trouble listing any pros. Not in a mindset to think positively of him. Not a balanced list.
He's going to see the kids for 2 hrs today. Glad he didn't bother trying to get them for tonight or part of the night. I know why of course, but I'm happy to be with my kids for this night and wish for a better year. I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else.
