Thanks Fade! Took the above and worked through a couple of them today.
On #1, I've met w/ 3 different Ls, and I've settled on which one I'll use. I was waiting on W to push it forward, but she put down a smaller retainer on 7/28 w/ her L, so I'm not sure what's going on there. I'm speaking to the L I'd use if she pushed forward on Wed of next week, to start on a plan. I know W has provided them our wills and family trust documents, but no idea where W stands in the process. I'd not be surprised to get a S agreement from her sometime soon. As a matter of fact, last night when I came home, there were 2 large manila envelopes on her counter. Unsure what those are.
On #2, try to keep most of my journaling of D and me time on here. It does make sense to make something more formal. Typically, I'm getting home around 6:30 and hanging out w/ D until bedtime at 9:15. I'm going to push W to split homework time w/ D once school starts bc I need to be more plugged in there.
On #3, I'm at a point where I won't let my W push me into a confrontation. It's hard, but I think manageable. Will look into getting a recorder this weekend.
On #3b, I'm going to discuss this in more detail w/ the L next week. Want to make sure of the legal consequences of this were I to do it.
On #4, Going to need to ruminate on this one. She's really only close w/ her father in her family. The rest of the folks are the same friends pushing her towards OM as they're all college friends.
Realizing that I've put myself in limbo on this stuff. Putting things in place in case they need to be used is a great idea. Found myself cursing my W today for making me get into this type of stuff. So horribly unnecessary...
Appreciate your thoughts and advice Fade! A nice little kick in the a$$ that was probably needed on my end.
