it's the move that got your d away.

Yes the divorce too, but that's not final yet AND your w thinks that it's your fault she had to file. So it's not worth pointing out but I think the move MIGHT be worth mentioning sometime...she made that choice and


it DOES complicate things and for that, SHE is responsible. So if SHE brings up a hassle resulting from her unilateral choice, you may gently remind her of this reality.



Also, read the decree again b/c signing it probably won't finalize the divorce.


it usually has to be "processed" once signed...and beyond that, I can only hazard a guess. Ask your L exactly when and what your status is.


ALSO remember that after the divorce is final, if it is, you can ALWAYS try to modify things about custody or money...


But once custody is established, you must show that a change is in the best interests of the CHILD...not a parent.



So make sure you fight for what you/your d want and need NOW, don't hope for the best "down the road"...


Work it out now and you can be flexible later IF YOU WANT, but make sure you have all the rights you need/want asap. Don't count on your w to be kinder or gentler once it's over.



YOU can be all you want... grin
Don't put yourself into a vulnerable position that relies on HER being kind and gentle to you.


I still think there's hope she'll see you differently, months from now, if you keep up the changes you have made. I really do.


Will that be of interest to you? Who knows? cross that bridge when we get to it.

Take care of yourself, (it's your "real" job)
