Good Old England

[Big Bruce]

Hello,
the lack of context makes me look like a monster. when I said the beach thing, what I ought have explained is that I was going to resign from my extremely stressful job in France and rather than flying overnight and starting a new job in Canada the next day, I would stay a little more to rest and then fly and take on the new job. With perspective I now know it must have come across as the guy who doesn't give a fig and is thinking of himself, but it truly wasn't my sentiment.

To clarify, no court is scheduled as of yet, however two important things happen in June.

1. The 18th June it will be one year of official separation, which means she is legally entitled to file for divorce.

2. The current order runs till end of June. And I'm trying to negotiate something for after that date. Son and money wise.
If I stop the payments, I will have to pay arrears at some point and it'll look bad on me.

I understand that her withdrawal is an answer in itself. Because dialogue for refusing to give me more time, nevermind 50-50%, is not sustainable, she just doesn't engage in it.
Therefore, stop me if I'm wrong, but the only solution I have is to go see the lawyer and when end of June hits, file for pre- trial, with a request to have my Son half the time.

Or is there a way to tell W: look we'd better save us some hassle, and just grant me half time, etc...?

I don't know, women in general want the dad to be involved right? Why doesn't this one want that to?

Thanks for your great posts,
Bruce
