Yesterday afternoon I got the counteroffer from my W's lawyer. She is basically accepting all my terms, with just a few compromises. It sounds like she is out of money and just wants to get away from me as soon as possible. I texted her wed morning saying I needed to see the counter offer before she took anything else from the house, and she told me her lawyer was about to send it, and then commented that her lawyer thought she was giving everything away.
So be it.
The only odd thing is that they wasted ink on an entire paragraph denying that she's had a relationship with the om. Then stated it didn't matter anyway. It's odd because she's basically admitted it to me. I don't understand why they are bothering with the denial at this point. I suppose if I had exposed it sooner things may be different, but right now I think it is at least driving the D settlement my way. Again, not really the outcome I wanted.
She moves the rest of her stuff out on Saturday. We will be doing 50/50 physical custody of the kids. We are still negotiating the pets. I'm sure there is still a lot of details left to deal with.
I suppose I need to move to "surving the big d", but I like my friends here at newcomers. Really, I still feel like a newcomer. It's only been 5 months. Ha, I remember when I thought 5 months would be an eternity!
