I truly believe that each and every person takes as much time as is necessary for them. I think, 25, it was not a waste of time for you, but you have hindsight, which informs us how to behave in the future if we would like different results from ourselves, but is useless in the shoulda coulda woulda.
You have so much wisdom and the hard truths are always the hardest to hear. Thank you.
GM, thank you for your story. And your information has been more valuable than you know.
Big hugs to you GM! Stay brave and stay the course. I too have been miredminna legal mess for quite some time. I am hopeful itnisnwinding up....really hoping. I too paid too much attention to her instead of dealing with the 'business' and was lost, did not know my rights and struggled. I have done so much research in the past 6 months and have caught up. I was able to get 50/50 with the kids and was in for a large payout to a banker exW who had manipulated funds and hid lots and all has been exposed. While I will be paying some I am okay with that as all I wanted was equal. But the MLCers only see what they feel they are entitled to. I now know my rights better than ever, found as much proof and documentation as possible and once done correctly and honestly numbers cannot lie. Courts deal with facts....not a foot stomping, self serving sneak. Our WAS's don't care if we are in a shoebox. These people steal. They are lost souls. God Bless and again, stay the course with facts and it will mitigate the costs and get results. I found out late but not too late. The losses could have been much worse. Lawyers will fight with facts for you, but they won't find the facts for you. That is our job. (((((GM)))))!
