Well talked to a L today, but I think I will keep looking. His main practice isn't family law and he seemed a bit on the "off" side.

He did advise me to wait a few days before responding to W's L's letter to buy some time. That will give me time to get a lawyer and check out options.

I want to see if W is still interested in a stipulated D. That will save some money, because I really don't have any for a L. But the agreement MUST be fair to both sides, otherwise I have to fight. I would like to see if she is as selfish as I previously thought.

Some nice things the L said was that he believes she will be back 6 months after the D. He said he would almost guarantee it. It just depended if I was open to her at that time. He is basing this on his experiences with family law, of which he used to do a bit, but now he mainly does defense law.

Today was a nice day at work, had a nice lunch of crackerjacks, peanuts, and hot dogs (it was an american themed lunch at work today)! I am about to pick up my D1 from daycare and have the rest of the fabulous day playing with her.

It breaks my heart to have to think about all the time I might miss with her because of this mess, but I will survive.
