Drew, the finances I said I wouldn't discuss were things like the house, our business etc. The child support is technical a financial matter but I view it as separate from those other things. I will leave it to my L to handle in any event after giving it some thought last night.
For the D claim, I am saying that I will be the primary care giver or as an alternative we will share the kids 50/50. My L explained the reason for this is I can agree to less than what I ask for but I can't turn around and ask for more. In other words, I can agree to 50/50 with this approach but I would also have the possibility of being awarded primary custody if the court thought it was best for the kids.
Unbidden, thanks, I still have a bad case of "nice guy" syndrome, especially when it comes to my W. This could very well be a long process so I for sure need to just stay cool and give things time.
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
