You are so right Mach! I would say the odds are quite low (less than zero?). Very good point. I got a text from her that she wants me to sign paperwork so she can refinance the car she uses most. The trouble is she can't do this according to her own D petition! She can't call it separate property as it's in both our names and was paid for from joint funds (mostly what I made). She seems to think that we will just keep the cars that we each use most and couldn't afford to get her own place as long as her payment was so high. Well, I'm fairly certain that in the end I will be fine with her keeping that car, that's not the point. The point is it's part of what we negotiate in the final settlement. If something goes wrong and she gets angry at me before the D is final, what's to stop her from trying to stop me from getting the other car? I'm very willing to bet that she told her L that it was separate property (was on DP that way) not bothering to tell him it didn't match the defin. of SP. She needs to talk to her L but of course she won't do that. She just wants me to smile and sign. I called into my L and will wait until he gets back to me before I tell her what I will do (or not).
On the good side I did some GALing last night and had a lot of fun. Went out with a meetup group and did trivia night at a place near where my W is moving. I asked my D14 if she thought I should go and she was all for it! Great group of people and it was nice getting some female attention as well. (mostly women in group)
The only bad part is that my life is so much about my family I kept almost bringing up my W all night. I had to keep stopping myself and thinking "not my W anymore". Just like last night when I called my W sweetheart by mistake saying goodnight. Need to stop doing that!
By the way what everyone told me would happen is starting. She has been saying things to her side of the family that I am close with, now that she has filed, that put me in a very bad light. Let this be a warning to all the LBS's on here that have MLCers that are being "nice" or not bad mouthing you. It WILL happen as soon as they start getting push back and are asked why would they just leave their S's and families. They can't stand being seen as anything but the victim. As soon as anyone starts to think they are the "bad" one, they will start finding ways to cut you down and make themselves look like the victim!
