Be careful what you wish for though... He is going to be a complete ass for a while. Pretty much until he can't take it anymore. Or put another way, until he gets tired of trying to make your life miserable. He'll try though. So this is where it gets down to brass tacks, right? This is where you need to put on your game face and be sweet, kind, compassionate and firm.

If he follows any kind of pattern, he'll boil for a few days while he formulates a plan to irritate you so much you feel compelled to leave. Fight fire with water. The angrier he gets, the sweeter you become. The more he tries to make things miserable, the more you make it pleasant.

I had to do similar with my ex. I remember right after she said she wanted a divorce (surprised me then too because we were getting along great; manipulation) she told me we were all going down to her parents for Easter. I said no. She got mad and said she was moving out of the bedroom to the spare room. I helped her move smile She couldn't put up with that very long. A few months, but they were long months. I was as nice as could be. Pleasant, but distant and firm. My other choice was to get angry, but I saw no point. There were some good times in there too, but it was tough at first.

You can do it. If he wants out, let him leave. If he wants to be angry, leave the room. If he wants to make things difficult, embrace the suck and GAL. It works out very well and you get the gift of a clear conscience regardless of what he does.

Smart judge. You got a good lawyer and a good judge although I would have made the H move out and pay for the house of possible. The judge will always side with the best interest of the kids. Remember that. That story isn't over yet smile

Peace,
