...not married to the lawyer you had...
That's some funny stuff. It reinforces how some of us (the ones who come to these boards) take things like marriage commitment seriously and others don't.

No, I'm not married to my L. She was a member of a firm but I think she has left them. My X's L was a member of the top shark divorce mill in town. X paid thousands more than me but would you believe those two L's overlooked mistakes in the financial portion of the settlement?!?! Those have been corrected (thank GOD) and they (and the judge?!?!) overlooked a typo that I was to pay X a tidy sum each month in addition to her getting all the assets while I took 1/2 the debt (business and personal). That had to be corrected when I bought back the house that was originally in my name only, on my credit only from X so could qualify for a new loan. I should sue my L AND the judge (my L didn't look out for my interests, the judge apparently can't do math cause the figures of the financials reveal no way for me to carry such a debt). I can't reach my L anymore and as for the judge, I don't even remember her name although it's on the papers.

I only wanted my kids 50/50 and that's what I got. On paper, as ambiguous at it is.

DD is a smart cookie who asked years ago why "mom got the house, the business and the best car." DD wasn't happy with me about the sleepover denial (coincided and intertwined with custody swap) but we had a long talk this AM. I answered her question of why I let her mother have everything but her and her brother (they are the only thing I wanted). I think she finally gets it.

Yes, I will press for specification of custody transfer.

I hope somebody (including lawyers and judges) learns from my experience.
