How To Tell The Kids

[james217]

I've started a new thread to play by the board rules.

First Thread

Second Thread


My situation at the moment is that my W has filed for D and we have had our initial Hearing for a Temporary Order.

Rather than try the case with the existing Court Commissioner, my attorney suggested that I accept the settlement she negotiated with W's attorney.

I will be moving out of my house on 8/29/10 and will have my kids on Wednesday nights and every other Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.

I have found a very nice place to live and am actually looking forward to moving away from W.

We are going to try to agree on splitting our possessions on Wednesday night and we have court ordered Mediation for the placement of our children next monday. I will ask for 50% share placement and will not settle for anything less. If we have to go back to court, I will do so.

I have pretty much fully detached from W and am feeling good about my future again, which is in stark contrast to feeling distraught only a few short months ago.

Thanks to all for your continued support on this site. I know I can do this and I know I can be happy again. I already am!!!

yea youll be fine man. just takes awhile to climb over that hill. I just told my boys honestly. At first I didn't have the courage to even talk about it but I finally explained everything to both of them and that was the best instead of leading them on and giving them a false sense of hope
