Long Distance Issues.....Possible WAW

[Dazed&Confused]

Well, I talked to a lawyer yesterday. She pretty much explained to me what I already knew. Said that if the wife and I agreed on everything, then the best route was an uncontested divorce. Said that she couldn't really answer about child support without running through her package. Pretty much saying that I would have to pay for her services, then I would have all of the answers I needed.

I understand, it's a business. She recommended what I knew already, which was no matter if I use her, to always have someone go over the paperwork for me. Just to be safe. She was the only one, out of about a dozen, that got back to me, I probably will use her.

I asked about joint physical custody, and she said that if my wife agrees, then take it. She said that it is more common these days, but it is not the norm. That scares me a little bit.

I still feel like I am watching a movie while its fast forwarding. Things are just crazy. Then to top it off, the wife is still emailing about random [censored], commenting on my facebook page, and is being extremely nice. I try to keep myself off of her facebook page, but when she posts on mine, it pulls me there. That and she is always posting new pics of the kids, so I hop on there to steal them. I just don't get it. I'm not responding though, and I am trying to GAL. It's just kind of of hard to do over to be honest. Work is slow most days. The only thing outside of work for me to do is to go to the gym. I try to do that most days. Then it's just me and the internet. I have been reading a lot, the Amazon Kindle store has been my best friend out here. It does help to take my mind off of everything.

I still haven't been sleeping too well. It's been hard to fall asleep, and then my dreams wake me up at all times. It's hard to say if that has gotten any better. My mood has though. I am trying to stay positive, and I know its hard to do that if you are projecting negativity.

So long story short, I think I am inching forward. It's a start. My wife is going to see a lawyer today, (was supposed to see him Tuesday, but it got cancelled.) so maybe I will know more today.
