Update:

Wife and kids get back in 4 days and the BD will go off then (it was dropped in May). W was visiting her father for a while who emailed me saying that she is definitely done and to have no expectations of reconciliation in any way. Ouch. She is totally done with our M and R and has moved on. Nothing I can do at this point but to focus on my kids and me. This really hurts. The worst part is when she gets back she will be very aggressive in getting things finalized and I'm not comfortable with any of the lawyers I have met thus far. All of them say "your basically going to get screwed", here is your bill.


M: 48
W: 45
Married: 16 years
D1-14, D2-11, D3-9
