golf mom, I'm very sorry to learn that he's still trying to destroy you in his mlc way. Some of them do this for a very long time and others slither away. I'm afraid that you will be dealing w/him for a long time because of your children. Whether or not he grows up and begins to behave like an adult male is still in the future.
Do what you need to do to protect yourself. Getting a new lawyer may be the best thing you do in 2014. I know that you weren't very happy w/the former one and if you don't feel comfortable w/the work that she was performing, then it's time to seek out a new one. You've been at this a long time and you want to wrap up the financials and get on w/living your life w/o this worry.
I do hope that you and your boys had a nice Christmas and you were able to spend some time w/your father. As you know, the first holiday season is the toughest for anyone who has lost a loved one. I do hope he is doing okay and has had friends and family drop by to keep him company.
I do hope and pray that 2014 will be a far better year for you and all of the posters.
Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
