Well, the divorce battle is one. I sent a response email to W's attorney a couple of days ago. W must have received it today, b/c she was angry and went thru point by point what I put in the email, and disagreed with everything.

On custody of s14, W made an unusual comment - "yes, he can live with you now. But in May he will come back to living with me." I was too slow on the switch to ask her what she meant.

I claim W took some money from d19's education account of which I was custodian. I gave W a check to pay d19's private school tuition, and none of it was paid to the school. I ended up having to agree to a payment plan in order for d19's transcript to be released to her college. W took a significant amount of $$$.

So I told W's atty she had to re-pay this money back. W had no idea what I was talking about, but this was the start of W's MLC, and after she allegedly took the money, she 'mysteriously' had a new wardrobe, large screen tv, and lotsa spending money for a trip to Mexico she took.

I told W that she did not spend a dime on d19's tuition, and she got defensive. W had told me she had to spend $1k of it to put food on the table.

W then accused me of "dragging my feet" on the divorce, and that she just wants this to be done. I told her I responded in 2 days to her attorney's email and that I gave her all the information she asked for, and that the ball was now in her court.

I don't like fighting with W, but the custody of s14 is something I am willing to go to the mat on. S14 hates om and om hates s14. This will not be resolved anytime soon. I was cold and direct with W with my responses.

S14 is away on a long weekend field trip for a Spanish village for his Spanish class. I am kinda glad to have a weekend to myself.
