"All rise"

[faithisbelieving]

I am touched by all the people who came to post today.

Truly...you are wonderful people.

L came out around 4:15PM...we had 10 minutes to sign, but, too many issues, so, the judge gave us until Thursday. The stip should be signed then, thus, I will be divorced (well, final decree will be pending)

Holidays will be rotated.
I get 2 dinners mid week.
Every other weekend.
3 non consec weeks summer.
60/40 house my favor.
STBXW gets a percentage of my practice, small and CS.
They requested an annual 1040 until my income reaches X dollars, capped, for CS which was OK with me since STBXW waives maintenance.
Stips on selling the house.


Until Thursday we will haggle over splitting the HELOC. On Thursday, in open court, I must renounce my claim of Cruel and Inhuman and STBXW must do the same (the wonderful State of NY). In court, she must say she begged me for sex for 12 months and I didn't give it to her. I must do the same. Now THAT will be a scene.

So...all....I will be divorced on Thursday. At which time I will close this thread up.

After four years, I still can't conceive of never seeing my kids during the week at nights..to tuck in and say good night....to talk to....to tell stories. I know that will happen on the weekends, but, I guess you sorta deny this in your mind until it happens.

There is no choice on this. STBXW and I must be apart and we can saw the kids in two.

In May, 2006, my STBXW told me that "she loved me but wanted the romance back." She wasn't kidding. LOLOL.

Strength.....and honor.
