Been sometime since I have written anything. Don't give up on your sons. They need their Dad in their life. I have three boys as well. 13, 10, 8. Coach as much as you can for them in sports. But it is worth the money to fight for even one extra day. Your ex needs to understand, whether you have them 50% of the time or 33% of the time, her monthly stipen won't change. Trust me, your ex will also find out really quickly that we all need a little time on our own. She should be careful what she wish's for. I have my 3 boys three days per week. My ex has them four. Sometimes that is even a little much for her...
My recommendation as well on your tag line...No resentment-she is in pain too. Look, I don't have resentment. I come to find out she really did me a favor by requesting the divorce. I told her that I forgive her as well even though she didn't ask. My ex still wakes up angry every day, why I am not really sure. I told her Hate is an exhausting emotion. You need to get past whatever you still are harboring...
The she's in pain too line--get rid of that one..If my ex is in pain, I don't really care anymore about her feelings.
Your's clearly doesn't care about yours or your boys. She is using your sons as a weapon. That my friend is just cold and mean.
So again, don't give up on your sons. Think of all those special moments you would be missing if you didn't have the extra day. Isn't that worth an extra $5,000 in attorney's fees??
