Bring It On 2013

[BeingMe]

I went to the lawyer on Friday, and she seems really nice, with lots of advice. It seems that the law isn't changing per se, but rather tightening up. So, there's no need for me to rush to get the divorce before March. Which is a good thing. I want to get our tax stuff sorted out before applying for the divorce. If H wants to go ahead and find a lawyer and do it sooner, then he can have at it. Also, we were shocked at the price our house will get if we sell it. In effect, we won't get much for it. The market is definitely in the buyers favour, and I wish I could buy another house now. I told H that I have put the D proceedings on hold until we can figure things out. He did say that we could be co-owners of the properties, but that doesn't help me as far as alimony goes, and buying a house for myself. We intend to build a suite downstairs and rent it out. Rent prices has not gone down, so we can make quite a bit on that. I also told him that I'm just as disappointed about the divorce as he is, but there's no point in rushing things, and ending up doing it wrong. At some point, we're going to have to sit down, and work things out calmly and rationally. And, he doesn't like to discuss anything rationally or otherwise. He just says, "you can have it all." So frustrating.

So, tax stuff first. Got the CA on that. Then, the suite has to be built. And then we have to find a way to separate our finances. In the meantime, I have 5 courses to get through, and that's the most I've had in one semester.

I'm kinda feeling down. Things are not working out as planned, but I s'pose I just have to make another plan as I head out into 2013.
