Hey Starsky, I'd ask if you could elaborate a little on "leading the show". I started paperwork weeks ago and am currently the one driving the D because she was not willing the change course after all this time. I've been trying to settle D to establish custody so I can be secure in S and my future if its going to have to be without her. She has sought counsel to the side about driving away from uncontested divorce to fight for custody but as far as I know they seem to have suggested her odds aren't good and her only angle is me wanting to move away.

Are you suggesting I should take the initiative to upgrade to uncontested D or leading some kind of R talk?

Financially I think I should be safe at this point. Her credit card was closed down months ago from her not paying it and my name is off it. My accounts are all separated except the one which only has $200 if she wanted to grab for money. The house is gone. She does have a car in my name but has had it this whole time and the loan on it is owed to a member of her family so I've just kinda let that go.

By the way, thanks for ringing in again lately. As always, its much appreciated! I can be pretty thick headed and need someone to shine a laser pointer to follow when I turn off the wisdom lights. : )
