Game Point

Update time:

Not much has changed really except that I am ready to retain a lawyer and have abandoned trying to hammer out a deal with WAW. I realized that I have been too generous with her. I shouldn't be paying her to work part time I realized and I also decided that I will likely sell the family home rather than buy her out. I just can't afford to keep it, even though her family will provide the money to buy her out.

There are two benefits to selling the house. I get her out of my hair. I can't keep her away from the place. She is always asking me when I am leaving, coming around when I am not home, etc and I am really tired of it. By law, once I buy her out, she wouldn't have access. However, she has gotten unrealistic about how much she should get for her half of the equity. The other benefit is the support amount I pay her goes down dramatically because I would no longer have a write off.

When I discussed selling the house and reducing the support amount we discussed she got crazy. That's when I decided I probably need to finally bite the bullet and hire my lawyer officially and let him drive this to conclusion. If I am hiring a lawyer I am going for it all - assuming she works full time and determining support based upon that.

I will probably pay his retainer later this week to get the ball rolling.

Based upon when I filed the D could have been final in January, but I am not sure it will be done then.

I am still with my new GF. Things are going well except after 4 months she still hasn't met all my kids (only S19 briefly). We are taking it really slow there.

I want to introduce her soon, however. WAW will go nuts. She still hasn't brought OM around them.

D sucks, it really does just like they all tell you. Even though I love my GF I still would have chosen to have a chance to save my M amazingly enough. It is too late now, but if I had been given the chance before she left I would still go back to that time and try.
