My Wife Filed Today

[FunDad]

So I went to see an attorney yesterday. My W's filing is asking for the moon, and my response will be to whittle it down as much as I can. On my side is the fact that it's incredibly irresponsible to adopt more children and the turn around and move/divorce. On her side is the fact that she filed first, has moved, has most the kids, and is setup in another residence that needs to be supported. What I'm told will happen at the end of the day is the court will make it as fair as possible to help make sure we can both support our respective household, pay our debt, and take care of kids (priority). I hope that's how it shakes out because I could live with that for now. Being able to stay in my home, get it fixed up, and make it a wonderful place for them to visit. It has the potential to nice enough to do weddings at if the kids choose to do that in the furture. Maybe the first one could be me and my wife, marrying again after divorce. Anyway, I feel better after speaking to my attorney, but the attorney noted she seems to have had some great advice setting me up for this. I hate to think that about my wife, but it appears to be all about the money now. How sad is that.

Odd feeling: Friday afternoon, I felt as if I walked through a door basically exiting me from the responsibility of being accountable for the decisions my wife is making now. Free from the responsibility of being her husband. It seemed strange, peaceful, and secure in a way. I feel if I can get some financial security, that will be the last hurdle to setting my mind free of the nightmare that's been handed to me and truly detaching.
