Focused on Me and My Son 2

[Sherman333]

You and your mouth. Geesh....

I know. She can attack me as much as she wants... but as soon as S7 is hurting... I have a lot of trouble not reacting. And I know that's what she wants. As for when she pulled the surprise move-out... that wasn't supposed to happen per the original plan. There was supposed to be enough time to handle the transition for both S7 and myself. Once she smiled when she told me, that set me to simmering. Couple that with S7 being upset and her telling me that I should comfort him... well I lashed out. Not proud of it. But I've bit my tongue so much in this...

So 2 days ago, S7 and I talked about diner and he wanted a pizza, so we went to the local store to get something we could bake. When we pulled up, STBXW's vehicle was in the driveway and she was in the house. She went through the house before we got home.

When we pulled in, she was demanding to take S7 to her new apartment. At first I resisted, somewhat relented, but S7 didn't want to go, so I told her no. She flipped. Started threatening S7 about taking full custody, that he'd never see me again, same-old-dance and it was getting intense. I took S7 and we left.

While we were gone, she started texting me about all the stuff she's taking... my bike, some of S7's collectibles, my headphones, a ROKU, TV remotes (but not the TV), my range bag for target shooting, just a bunch of stuff.

I called the cops. Had S7 fill them in from his perspective 1st, then told them mine. The officer followed me back to the house an the STBXW was still trying to figure out how to fit my bike into her SUV, but the other stuff was already loaded. I took the bike and locked it up after the officer challenges her a bit. It was still a civil matter and not much he could do. But he did commit to documenting a good police report for me.

She spent about 7 to 10 minutes telling the officer all of my faults and everything she perceives as a slight in the divorce and even complains about how calm I am about the whole situation. Then gets in her car and drives off.

I continue talking with the officer (who faced a similar situation last year). After a few minutes, she came back, stopped in the middle of the cul-de-sac, pulled everything out that she took, handed me the garage door opener (her primary method of entering the house), then stated that "she's not going to stoop to my level". Hopped back into the SUV and drove off.

She sent me follow-up texts later the next day about taking care of a financial manner and I think she picked up a check that has both of our names on it. She wants me to give her half. I think she took the check. I know she's stressed for funds and I'm half hoping she forges my signature.

The attorney has made it clear I can't keep her from entering the house as she still has an interest in it legally.

However, I've changed out the alarm system to one that's a little more current. New locks that work with the system will be her Monday. I've also cleaned out the garage enough to be able to park my truck inside (according to the BIL, she'd mess with it in the future).

She's also updated the agreement with what she'd like. My lawyer is incredulous at some of what she's asking for. Stated that even the judge would never go for it. Monday, he'll work up a variation of the agreement and we'll provide that to her with the stipulation that this is the final offer. If she doesn't accept, we'll let it go to the judge. My lawyer is confident that we have enough to get what physical custody at this point regardless of anything else.
