Hey Feyth, just checking in and sending you some PMA.
With my XH I wanted to go through mediation to sort out finances and childcare however he refused this and filed for D completely out of the blue suggesting that we should do this with lawyers through the courts. He tried very hard to take me to the 'cleaners' by saying I was much better off financially than I declared (ridiculous seeing as I worked two days a week in administration role and the other three was spent raising our D and he earned way more than I did!) In the end through his insistence at being right all the time, we went to court and the judge literally laughed at some of the stuff him and his lawyer came up with. Needless to say I walked away much better off than he would have liked. The judge actually said that they should stop waisting his time as this must be very stressful on me and he didn't want to make it any worse! So in the end my XH did me a favour in suggesting lawyers to his own detriment though! I am so glad I did in the end.
Stick to your guns Feyth. All you are doing is protecting yourself and he should be grown up enough to realise.
I think I need a PJ day! Happy Sunday!
