One of the reasons God chose this atty for me...this is how it feels...has to do with his reputation for being fair. My FIL respects that. My FIL is a fair kinda guy too, it's my MIL that's the b!tch driving the wagon though.
My atty isn't known for being cutthroat or anything. He is a nice guy with a child on the Autism Spectrum. So, hopefully, Smokey and FIL will see this a fair, run-of-the-mill agreement based on the numbers and it does factor in a min wage job for me earning around 16,000 per year. Hopefully, this will shut them up about my earning--the min wage earning potential is what the court would require and I'm fine with this.
I'm going to work off some of this tension like you said.
D19 is pi$$ed at herself because she is about to flunk the writing course that she is already taking again. She realizes I have some good points about her NOT being ready to juggle school, work, sorority and life. She needs baby steps and she hates that. School=Fun and positive strokes because everyone loves her. That's great, but you don't get the grades, you can't stay in school. She needs to find the solution.
