Can you expound on this a little more? Im not going to speculate on the background on your parent's divorce. But my guess from the way you worded this, is that I shouldnt believe too much of what your dad says.

Honestly, that logic makes now sense.
Your mom filed for guaranteed money to protect the long-term interest of you and your siblings. And THAT measure was why they couldnt reconcile? Read that again and let me know if you think it makes any sense.

Protect you and yours. If you dont, your H can and probably will do something to hurt you.
