I met with my atty. He said we started this process one year ago and we haven't really made any headway at all. It's been four+ months and Smokey's atty hasn't even responded to our dissolution proposal. I guess this is par for the course with this atty.
So, my atty suggests I file for divorce. He feels that this will give Smokey's atty some...a little anyway...structure/time frame to respond because the courts will enforce some time frames.
So, I left the atty and he said that the first thing he would do would be to contact Smokey's atty and hope and pray that he responds and agrees to my filing for divorce and lifting any restraint on my moving to NY.
Smokey's atty, miraculously, responded and gave the OK. So, I meet with my atty again next week and we go over what we will need to do to file for divorce. This means I will be paying more. MORE. But, I can ask for what I feel is fair and IDK...I'm scared. I just want this done. DONE. Dammit.
But, I'm glad we have the OK on leaving. I guess the next step is getting some order for an exact temporary support figure. Who knows how long this will take. I'm pretty angry with Smokey today. This is B.S.
Anyway...so, no sooner did I get off the phone with my atty than I receive this pleasant a$$ text from Smokey.
(Now, mind you, in the midst of all this atty stuff and whatever...I'm stopping to tutor a client and I'm making arrangements with the newspaper to put us up for two more nights and to direct deposit my relocation allowance...which I wish I had handled earlier...I was afraid to ask. Dumb. Hopefully, the money will be in place by Tuesday. But, my mom is going with us and I know I can ask for her to use her credit card on a security deposit if I have to. I know I will PAY for it in guilt and whatever, but it's good she will be there).
Smokey: Congrats. Just heard you took the job in Watertown. How's D12 taking the idea of moving? I'm very happy for you and I support you in doing this.
