I haven't signed yet. It was submitted to me for review. I just want to move on with my life. The longer this goes on the more equity accumulates in the house (and I will have to pay a percentage of it to xh) and the more I incur in legal fees. We could go to trial, but it's not worth the emotional cost.
It's all wrong, but I'm in a "no fault" state. The frustrating part is if I would have gotten a support order immediately when xh abandoned us and continued to be a stay at home mom he would have owed me a lot more. I did what I thought was the best choice for my boys and that was to quickly find a job so I could keep them in their home and provide stability. I was the responsible parent and have done everything I can to give my boys the best life I can. That plan has cost me a lot of money and caused a lot of grief. Xh has hugely benefited. He's never thanked me for solely caring for the boys or for working hard to contribute to their care and my own needs. That as been a burden off of him.
Having this done means no regular contact with xh. I will have full custody of the boys with no visitation for xh. My support will be paid by garnishment. There just won't be much, if anything, to communicate about. Xh is getting what he wanted - money.
