How To Tell The Kids

[dday101798]

Court went badly today. My attorney stinks. She said that the court commissioner we were in front of today was very old fashioned and since W's side was going to bring-up the pornography issue, she thought it was in our best interest not to argue the case in the temporary order, but to wait for the final hearing.

W;s side had their numbers put together, and so did I, but my atty did not seem very organized and I was pressured to make a decision very quickly. I went with her recommendation which results in me getting only 43% of our combined income, while W gets 57% so that she can afford to make the payments on the house. My attorney says that this was her mistake and she will file for a correction, but I doubt that will go anywhere.

I have to be out of the house by 9/1.

I see the storm has come ashore. Unfortunately Dan, you can not fault your attorney for their 'performance' here. I firmly believe it's all the little times you slipped up and had conversations with your W you shouldn't have at this point in the game. NO MORE talks about finacials, and stipulations of the divorce! Capiche?

Another thing....I hate to remind you of this, but I'll bet your W has been taking very detailed notes of your time with the kids, alloted time, where you've gone, what you've spent....you get the picture. Have you? I'll also bet she's re-counted how many beers you've had per night (and no it doesn't matter how many she's had either..too late), have you? I'll bet she's established hard core alibies to her whereabouts for leaving the house, and probably sights you in most of them.....have you?

Again, it's a business transaction now Dan. Plain and simple. And in order to get the "best deal", well, somebody's gonna screwed over. Who's it gonna be?
