I actually agree with you here. He's even told me he'd leave filing up to me to do whenever I was ready. Well, he'll have to wait till you know what freezes over. If he wants D he can do all the paperwork to make it happen. But I haven't told him that's my viewpoint.

I really like your "rough draft" list. It's more than I have been able to put together on my own yet! I'll try to refine it and post a specific set of goals and narrow things down. That way I can keep refering to it throughout this whole process.

And I thought it was hard having a three year old! You have some valuable insights for me. thank you! (((NM))) Hope our Hs realize losing their families is worse than getting what they want.
