I was going to wait to post the update regarding our first divorce hearing, which occurred a couple weeks ago, but I have time now.
She came to the hearing in another new outfit, more proof that she's not financially struggling. She had her angry face on again, I said good morning, she didn't say a word to me, didn't even look my way. I will never in my life understand how she can justify treating me that way. I guess it makes it easier to be so heartless. It's more comical now, but still hurtful.
So there was no issue re child custody, since we agreed to our current arrangements... Currently I have them the LARGE majority of the time. Her fight was directed at getting paid! She now wanted $540 child support plus $250 maintenance. She claimed I refused to pay her any child support, but I provided the email in which I told her my attorney advised me not to pay her anything yet, but I'd be willing to pay her the amount my attorney calculated... She responded with a refusal and demanded $750. We explained how she barely has the kids and her typical function is to drive 10 minutes to drop off at school... That she has no expenses re them because I do laundry, meals, use most diapers, all costs associated mostly paid by me. Judge didn't seem amused by her request... Maintenance Refused... Child Support set at $427-other expenses she is responsible for paying = about 300 per month... $40 less as each of the other 2 kids need school lunches. My attorney also mentioned how based on the current custody arrangements she should be paying me $400... W was PISSED OFF! Her attorney lost EVERY argument! I was thinking... Thank God she picked her. Karma!
Re her 1200 apt., they argued that we had several arguments in October that made the situation so unbarable that she had to move IMMEDIATELY, hyped up the situation of course, but yes we did argue. Only problem, I had the check she wrote for her apt. Sep 29th... Also a months worth of civil kind text messages in which we were doing thinks together, taking kids out to eat, activities, sweet comments, etc. I did explain that I asked her to leave because it was disrespectful to me & kids for her to have relations with other men while living under our roof... The day before she wrote the check, she agreed to move and texted that she would discuss with her attorney, KNOWING she already had been looking and planning to go. I showed the text stating she did say I could change the licks on the house, but made it an issue to get property from the house.
