SR,

I know you have mediation coming up tomorrow. From my understanding this is something you would prefer rather than slugging things out in court. That's understandable.

There is one thing though that I can ascertain from this... She files... you jump. She leaves... you jump and beg and plead. Whatever WAW wants WAW gets.

From the little I've read of your thread, and from the time we chatted did I very rarely hear what you want. Now I could be mistaken... because I haven't had the time you read your entire thread.

In my humble opinion I would reschedule your mediation tomorrow and the court hearing later in the month if necessary so that you can answer the following question:

"What does Romeo want?"

Make it as detailed as possible.
- What do you want out of the mediation.
- What do you want out of the divorce
- What do you want with respect to custody
- What do you want with respect to alimony

ONLY once you are SURE of what you want... and what you are prepared to accept should you be entering into mediation. And once you are sure of it... you DO NOT back down on your non-negotiable items.

As a man who is an engineer you above all others know that if you go take on a job without a plan... that project is going to be a monumental screw-up.

So far you have lived your life to please others. It's time for a 180 in that respect. Become a man with a PLAN.
