I just filled out all of the divorce paperwork sent by my wife's lawyer,and have scanned close to 1000 pages of financial records, as requested (and we only have a net worth of $300K - our assets are IRA's and some home equity).
My wife is behaving oddly. She hasn't even been in touch with my son, who lives with me and commutes to college, since she left 3 months ago. I asked how he was doing through this, and he says OK, but also says he's mad at her about this lack of contact (he won't call her). He's also mad because she's contacted our daughter (away at her freshman year at college) only once since she got there. My daughter did make contact with my wife after a few days, at my urging.
I'm actually up and down about whether I would want to get back together with her, should she change her mind, which I think is unlikely, anyway. I wouldn't close the door, however, but at the same time, I have to look out for myself as the lawyers go to work. Has anyone been through the negotiation stage without getting both sides angry? My wife told me when she left that she didn't want to have contact with me, and that all questions should be directed to her lawyer, so I don't know whether to expect high conflict or not. It sounds like the recipe to end any possibility of reconciliation (even if I'm wishy washy about that).
