Thanks all. Thankfully the decay is still slow. LOL. Tonite will be bowling with my kids and my nephews across the street, then, IHOP (all you can eat pancakes today).
Court Update
I will continue to keep my thread open and updated until the final decree is signed:
STBXW's motion to have me 'punished and purged' for contempt of court (thrown in jail) for my inability to pay her court-ordered legal fees failed. A money judgment was awarded against the sale of the house. Penalties were cut in half and added in so I don't have to pay anything up front right now
Temporary sole custody and sole residential occupancy of the house was deferred to trial (whew)
3 subpoenas issued: me, my office manager and my CPA. My L will make a motion to have some things adjourned as all this is past the time of discovery
L is going to file a motion for sanctions against STBXW's atty for being punitive (continues to request the same things over and over).
It's almost done, although, I DO expect to find myself in family court for the next 12 years.
It's not easy staying steady through this. It is even MORE difficult to have to do things that, as a man, would not normally be in my core values. On the other hand, to roll over and do nothing would be suicidal with regards to having parenting time with my children.
There would be too many candles to put on my cake (I prefer vanilla layer cake, buttercream, with yellow cake).
