Well, I would say that the statement "things went well for me" is really a matter of perspective.

I will not defend my lawyer, but she IS one of the best in Family Law in this jurisdiction.

For all intents and purposes, I do not have a leg to stand on, in regards to financial and custody.

So...

I will take the money offer from my W (which my L suggested is and insulting offer), wash my hands of my W, and figure out how I can be the best dad possible, under the circumstances.

That, my friends, is it... in a nutshell...
