Yesterday was a STBXW tantrum... about money. She was planning on not paying the 1 bill that she's assigned to pay. Threatening again about taking S7 now that its summer... same old song & dance. I have A LOT more texts that have been forwarded to the attorney.
She ended up dropping off S7 at 8:03 p.m. She'd sent a text that she's going to continue to pay on the bill.
Then 35 minutes later, she's posts on Facebook how her and the OM (her best friend ever) are saving for a trip to Australia... that's it's like saving for a wedding only better....
Oh the fun...
Now for the good parts... FS9 is going to come stay with me for a week or possibly longer if the foster license gets through in time. But at the very least it's a week. I haven't told S7 yet. FS9 will just be there at the house when S7 comes home. I have started teasing S7 that I have surprise for him though.
Once my license is in, FS9 will come stay with me. He's been struggling a lot with this and giving his current foster mom a lot of grief. He's articulated that he misses my son, house and his old school a lot. Post BD, I'm planning on adopting FS9. There's a lot of people who don't seem to get it though. Think I'm off as a single dad adopting a kid. To me it makes sense for a lot of reasons. The biggest of which is that I care for the kid.
While I was reacting somewhat to the STBXW BS, I got into a conversation with the attorney's assistant. She clued me into the "best interests of the child" factors that the state of Michigan uses to determine who should have custody. I highly recommend these (or your state's equivalent) as a read for everyone. Very enlighting.
Me: 45 W43 S7, Foster S9 (Planning to adopt post divorce) D mentioned Feb 2015, Wife served 3/24/2015. She moved out 4/15/2015.
