OMG, FIB, the only thing I can say is look to the goal. Keep looking straight ahead...ugg!
I remember my mother and father battling for years in the courts in NY. My dad unemployed and not cleaning the house either....made out with several thousand dollars. My mom bascially paid him off, she was so deseperate for it to all end. He in turn took us on a huge shopping spress with his new money... didn't learn till years later that it was just pay off money when I read the D degree.
NY state is a total mess with matters like these....
