Heather,
I'm sorry that things aren't going as planned for you and your daughter, but it may very well be that the "court" wants to hear what she has to say about the situation. She's old enough now for them to hear what she has to say and then go from there. I know it's difficult for her and I do wish that there was something that can be done...but Matt may not have any say once it's in the court's hands.

To put a little positive spin on returning to Ohio, at least she'll be able to see some of her friends if you plan to stay for a day or so. Hopefully this will help her.

I did go out on Craig's List and found a used Craftsman tool cabinet on wheels (two levels) and it was being sold for $250 and it was used. I think this may have been about the size of the one he's whining about. Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see what a good used one was going for in my area and that's what I came up with.

I am praying that you can finally put this divorce to rest very soon. It's been a draining time for you and your daughters and it's taken a toll on all of you.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
