I don't know you too well, but what I do know I don't particarly care for. You seem bitter and you sarcasm is useless and cliched. Go somewhere else and hassle someone with little less on their plate because I plan on staying in a good mindset.
Sorry if I offended, tpc. I've posted to you for a long time, and have only tried to challenge your laissez faire thinking. If it just annoys you, I'll no longer post to you, and wish you well.
Do give the atty advice some serious thought, though. "Abandonment" is a very real legal concept when one spouse voluntarily leaves the house and kids. I'm not telling you anything different than a good family law attorney would advise.
