Considering what is going on in your sitch - you sound great and positive!
Have you started a list or journal of your H's activities (financially and otherwise) so that you can recall them easily a the time you need to get a atty?
If you go in with the fact that he left you little money and essentially abandoned you, I think it will go a long way in establishing what you get - house, money, etc.
Otherwise, good luck in the job search. How is the market in AK? How is your son doing?
Hang in there and keep the faith.
Thanks for stopping by. I figure that if everyone else here can keep it together and keep their patience then so can I.
