Sorry to hear you are in the middle of all the flooding in Texas. I am familiar with some of the areas as I spent time working on a project in Yancey which is next to Devine.
Matt, the hearing will just be a formality unless you put up a fight. Are you contesting it? If not then the judge will ask a series of questions which you agree to, sign the papers and it is over. About fifteen minutes in length. If you are contesting it, then it is much much more.
I hope for you that you have an agreement and it will be done.
I went through mine in January. My ex rushed and pushed as hard as she could. She got what she wanted. Guess what, 3 months later and she has figured out it did not get her what she wanted. It has not turned out how she thought it would. It can be amazing how quickly reality sets in and they find out they blew it and picked the wrong path.
I hope you can just let things take the curse they are going to and find some peace for you and your daughters. Things are going to keep changing. I expect one day like me that you will probably get a call from her out of the blue and then you will start talking again. How you handle that will be entirely up to you at that point. Until then don't think about it. Just think about you and your girls.
Keep coming here as there are great people to discuss things and work through things.
