Just got back from lawyer. It's going to cost me $2500! Went to W's L and signed wavier. I can't believe it but she wants to be primary on custody, decide where our D will live and go to school. At least now I know that, at age 14, the court WILL defer to where SHE wants to live and with whom. As of a month ago, my D stated she wanted to stay here with me. Her mom has been working on her since but my D knows who's been there for her and who hasn't. The L couldn't believe my story and kept not understanding WHY exactly my W wants a divorce. He said it happens but he has never once seen someone who leaves just because they are unhappy BE happy once the D final.
Now I need to find the money to pay this guy. Oh, and my W has said all this will take time but he doesn't see this going more than 60 days. My W knows this. Once again she will say anything to get me to do what she wants me to. I really hope she understands what is coming. I will not give up on my D and what is best for her. I am now going to totally stop any interaction with my W. she has proven herself a liar and is so hoping I will just lay down for her! Not going to happen. She is suffering from what most people would see as a mental illness! Well, the truth will set ME free.
