joint counseling session in the morning, need help

[LSG]

Dad1b1g,

I would say listen to your attorney and fight for everything. It is easier to do it up front than try to include it later. You have to protect your interest. Your W is doing that, and you should too. Ask your attorney if it is better to file these papers before your W does. It will put the ball in your court. Also, do not miss any deadlines!

I cannot give anymore advice than to follow through with what you think is best. Do listen to your attorney.

I am in the same boat, and I will not back down in my D proceedings. W filed, and I have to focus on my life after the marriage and my kids first.

Keep positive.
