...In the meantime, while I am paying W to live here, I will have to find a crappy apartment to live in.
Why is this? Why are you being forced out of your home?
Because my attorney advised me to accept the terms of W's attorney's proposal. I had 5 mintutes to look at the proposal and make a decision. I took her advice. I should have had her try the case instead.
Due to the allegations that I had viewed pronography on the home computer and we were in front of an "old fashioned" court commissioner, my attorney thought it would be wise to agree to the terms and move to arbitration and then a final court date in front of the real Judge, whom she thinks will have a different opinion of these allegations. She told me that she saw this court commissioner order supervised visits only for a Mother who was recorded yelling at her kids and using the f-word. She thought I might be denied visitation or only have supervised visits. As it stands, I have Wednesday nights and every other weekend.
I am worried now that the temporary order will have a larger impact on the final decision, but we can try to work it out between us in mediation. W seems to be accepting that the kids will be split 50/50, but I am concerned about her monetary demands since she only works part time and it might be a while before the court would order her back to work full-time.
If I can pay her support based on her working full-time, I can swing the house, but she won't be able to either way, I don't think. If we have to sell it, neither one of us will have anything.
I just wish this didn't have to happen. It feels like I am dying.
