I spent the weekend at a beach town with my kids. I had a gig there. It a place I've played regularly for 10 years, and my kids have often traveled there with me. All the staff there knows them, and we are all like family. We had a good time. It's the same place we went over thanksgiving, one month after the bomb. The thanksgiving where my W decided at the last minute to leave town on her own. I've often wondered why my wife wasn't more interested in going on more of these trips with me. Now, it seems so obvious that she was using the time away from me for her extramarital stuff.
Thursday I got a copy of the final divorce settlement from my lawyer. I took a quick look at it, and approved it. My lawyer sent it to W's lawyer, and I texted W telling her to call her lawyer about it. That night I received a stream of text messages about how mean and hurtful I was being, and some other angry spew. I still don't understand her anger. The agreement basically has the stuff we agreed upon, and the all the extra stuff that lawyers put in. I texted her briefly to say that I thought it was all standard, and if she let me know what was bothering her I would ask my lawyer to adjust it. I never heard back from her, and she turned off her phone.
Today, I got an email from her saying she was upset about two sections in the settlement. One about no drinking or drugs around the kids, and one about no people of the other sex spending the night around the kids. They were both basically just added by my lawyer, but she thought it was all about her.
Her email was only two lines: "I'm upset about these sections, because they are personal attacks on me. Just send it to me completed and I'll sign it."
I had to fill in a few blanks with account numbers for our retirement accounts. I just emailed it to her tonight.
So it looks like the divorce papers will be signed this week. I'm not sure how long it takes to be official. Maybe 30 days.
