I haven't got time for the pain

[tested metal]

Just got back from L. She thinks it's a little nuts to have STBXW stay, but said it was up to me. As for the legalities, she told me to put the rules in writing and have her sign it, then make multiple copies and send her one.

L thinks that I am probably "too nice of a guy." She asked why I settled for 50/50 custody. I responded that I didn't know if I had enough to get primary and didn't want to get into a length battle. L said that now with STBXW needing to stay on my couch, she basically screwed herself because her poor judgement has virtually made her homeless. If I let go of the chain, she basically would be dog food.

I did get L to request STBXW's tax return as her claim of income seems quite low and I think I am getting soaked for child support. Also the out of state thing is gonna get hairy so L is going to stipulate that my residence be the primary for educational purposes.

I sure hope I am doing teh right thing by showing compassion for STBXW. I guess if it bites me in the butt, I will definately learn from it and will know once and for all where she stands.
