In order to "stop the divorce" we would both need to sign off (the petitioner would need to initiate) and the only consideration for this is reconciliation. Apparently, whether or not that was a thought it's gone now.
Yep, now you see how this makes a lot more sense than what you were describing last week? You were stressed for no reason...
Regarding the dog: I suppose it will be a non-issue. I wonder if your WW will show up tomorrow? Chances are you'll get the dog if it even comes up. Just have your evidence ready and convince the judge.
I'm on the other side of the support issue, which really bites. I'm the faithful husband yet I'm stuck paying my WW 40%+ of my net take home pay?!? How does that make sense??? I can understand if I'm the one who cheated on her. But because she had it easy before BD, I have to "maintain her lifestyle" through the divorce proceedings? I tell you, this is the one thing I find terribly unfair. I am totally fine paying child support but paying alimony to someone who did me wrong? I hate it.
