SEE YOUR LAWYER BEFORE YOU AGREE TO ANYTHING, Hockeymom. I don't trust your husband (the note is all about him, and what HE needs), and the "back-dating the date of separation" thing sends of a huge red flag to me.

I'm very sorry, I know this is like a blow to your gut. But this thing is FAR from over (unless YOU want it to be). Still lots of cards to play.
