Thanks guys. I am aware of the legal and kid issues. I'm just not at a place (yet) where I can see the clear way forward. The legal aspects are becoming clear so long as they don't hurt the kids. For the kids, I'm paying very close attention and will be talking to the counselor this month as soon as I can get the next appt. I appreciate the feedback.

Journaling:
text from stbx this morning. She is starting to move the remainder of the bills to my name only. Taking herself off the bills. That's progress and it's nice to see her act happy and act like she cares about the kids. I say "act" because I really cannot tell. But I sense that there is a shallowness there and that there is the sep "high" going on. Just the same, it'll be nice to remember the woman that reminds of me of somebody I once loved as a happy person. Strangely it brings a little peace.

Waiting for that call back from the new lawyer's office. Would like to get things moving in some respects, but in others I see that things will happen when they happen. I have the time and have many other things to get done anyway. I need to start making a list I think so I can get the bank accounts etc. I don't know if stbx is expecting the bank accounts to be shut down or not, but I hope she is.
