"Is there a benefit for you to allow the divorce to stretch out so far over time?" @Gypsy
At this point, there really is no disadvantage, except, of course, that I'm not quite married & not quite divorced. It has also allowed me to get my ducks in a row, taking care of all our dental work, car repairs, wardrobe renewal, etc., while I can.
I have a really strong attorney that I'm using for our MSA, although I represented myself (you know what they say about that:)when he took me to court for child custody. I came out very well on that front, however, I do know my limitations.
So, while I'm not fighting him on getting a D, I'm not doing any of the work either. Just living my life to the best of my ability, and honestly, I find that I don't think of him much anymore. (Or is that think much of him?)
@Kalni-Yes, funny how pieces of the puzzle come by you, even when you're not looking! In a city the size I live in, it's amazing how many connections there really are.
@Cynmad-Thanks for the text bouncing info, it's made my typing much more calm!
Off for the beach...my kids are still out for Easter break.
