Vertex,

I am sorry that you've had to face this paperwork from W's L.

If you and your own L feel that those items are "one-sided" as you say, you and L will need to come up with a counter offer. Right now, it is a business negotiation. Be sure that you and L are very through with your state's calculations before making a counter-offer.

If I were you, I would ask your L to slow this down so you can have some time to think it over and figure out what you feel is appropriate.

I am not sure about "future projection" for I believe the law focuses on what is happening in the present. Again, that is something you and your L will need to review together.

I can only imagine how you must be feeling now...not a fun thing, for sure. I am so sorry that you have had to go through this.

Remember, a CS/SA (controlled separation or separation agreement) doesn't necessarily spell the death knell of a M. There have been many situations here in DB where there have been S filed and even some D papers filed only to have those situations turn around to a reconciled M.

You've got to stay strong during this negotiations.

How are your GAL activities? What have you been doing in regard to that? Plans for this week/weekend?
