Moving back in

[DDogs]

UPDATE:

Well, its going to get nasty in court,,no surprise. No D filed in court yet, but my atty rec'd a copy that he sent me and of course she's claiming shes fears for her safety, etc... asks for a restraining order and wants me out of the house and to pay support while I'm gone..

she also wants to give our S15 her 2005 car when he gets his license this summer and wants MY 2009 veh with me responsible for the loan,,, oh, she did say she would register and insure it herself....

the many things that were mentioned paint a very dark picture of me (all untrue).. I am aware that her atty is fueling the requests BUT it's ultimately the W's signature at the bottom, so W is in agreement with the statements...

So I meet with my atty and tell him to take the gloves off,,,if she wants to play hardball,, I want to see her cry in court. I was being reactionary, responding legally to only things that she initiated.. I now have to go into protect myself mode..I do not think this will end the way I would like, but that was acknowledged...

I'm getting my own affidavits prepared with my kids,, I spoke kindly and what I think was neutrally with them (interview style)
aand they basically told me they were given no other options except one condition, mom for the week, dad on weekends.. My kids have told me they want equal time with both mom and dad.

their statements should also help refute the safety, hostile environment claims made against me...

A few bright spots,, my atty has requested info that I can get that will absolutely embarrass her in fron of the court and discredit some of her claims.... I did not want this but if I take the high road and play by the rules with integrity, I may feel a moral victory, but I will be steamrolled in court.. can't let that happen.

I did speak with both her parents yesterday. The have no clue whats going on. I was polite (I always got along with them very well)and brought them up to speed with whats going on but the purpose of my call was to share with them the D complaint(by e-mail).. I told them this is not what I wanted but their daughter has initiated a hostile case and I have no other option but to protect myself.

I wanted to reassure them that it was nothing personal against them, and that it will get very nasty.. I referred them to the complaint and repeated that a lot of things will come out and be said but this is result of the ground rules W has laid.

Inlaws were supportive and apologetic, reminded me again to listen to every detail my lawyer tells me to do and to do it. They told me they were dissappointed at the allegations in the complaints, (her momeven stated she thinks it sounds like the W has a psych disorder) no matter, I thanked them for the kind words and told them I would keep the kids as my priority.

Last thing they told me was to absolutely, not move out of the house...period.

thoughts?
