The dream house is back on! ... I think. I looked at a bunch of other rentals, and decided I need to adjust my expectations. Not a done deal yet but I'm hopeful.
Responded to my W's divorce petition, outlining my counter proposal. Thought there was a chance she'd flip her lid, but she was cordial in her response. Hopeful that we can arrive at an agreement and wrap it up, but there is always the possibility that it can devolve ... in which case we go to court-appointed mediation and, if that doesn't work, to court (at which point we'd have to hire lawyers). Given some of the stories I read here about hostile spouses, I am so far grateful that we are amicable on this front.
Finding that setting up a good parenting schedule is really hard. Tough to balance the desire/need to see our kids often, yet not subject them to have to switch homes so frequently.
