This morning I called W to see if she would sign a Stipulation to lower child support b/c d18 is 18 years old and off at college (called emancipation).
W told me what was on her mind - let's sit down and talk about "other things". We should be divorced now. Let's hire an arbitrator to finish this up. Divorce, Divorce, Divorce, is all she wanted to talk about. Then she complained that the child support wasn't enough to pay for s114.
On the divorce, all I said was "the ball is in your court" (meaning I previously provided her with a stipulated divorce agreement, which she did not sign.) I wish I would have said something more "pro-marriage" like I am standing for our marriage, if you want the divorce, then you do all the work. But I didn't say what I wanted. But at least I kept it short.
After she vented, I got her back on topic. She was uncomfortable, but our daughter is 18, and going to college, she said she would sign my stipulation and get it back to me. The call has left me unsettled, and a bit shaky.
