Floatin down the mighty rivers of British Columbia

I sent an email this morning and asked Smokey to have his dad draw up the dissolution papers.

I asked for:

The ability to remain in the house for ten years at which point I will refinance/sell.

$1600:

$800 in spousal support for 10 years
$800 in child support

Retirement is figured out by the courts

Visitation: I told him that I wasn't sure yet about this one. I needed to think on it. I did remind him that I asked for his feedback/discussion with the last visitation and he never responded.

I told him I would have an attorney look over the papers when they are ready.

I will have an attorney add stuff then in regards to visitation and whatever else I need to address.

I wasn't emotional at all. No lectures, pleas, thoughts on why/how/whatever.

It was short and businesslike.

And, I'm ok! I truly don't feel much of anything except some relief and hope that he will simply accept my requests and we can move forward.

I did tell him that I based the requests on my discussions with three attorneys.
