So, specific actions I need to take: do not go on any trips or outings with wife included, go out and do own thing...do not help wife with chores...
[/color] Continue to do chores, but don't pick up after your W or take on her load. Do your share and that's it.
Yes, please GAL. Yes, please stop involving your W.
Ok, example event...sons school concert this Thursday...go on own, sit separate from family, do own thing after?
[color:#3366FF] Go to the event, sit next to your other kids and not next to you WW. The event is for your son, and you should to always to be apart of their lives.
Another is this weekend. W wants to go out of town with kids to visit her mom on mothers day...stay home and do own thing?
[/color]Don't stay at home. Find something to do. Find something to get your mind off of your Sitch. Go buy some new clothes. Be dressed and ready to rock when that day hits. Since you live near SA, go to the river walk theres always events down there.
Next weekend...go out of town with kids to visit my patents, exclude wife?
[color:#3366FF]Yes, exclude your WW. But you should let her know you are taking the kids. You can say, "Next weekend I'm taking the kids to my parents house". Don't even invite her. If she ask do you want her to come. You tell her I rather it just be the kids and I. This is the beginning of showing her what D will look like. It's no more have Tate consider her for family events, you are moving on.
I don't know what lawyer you talked, but the lawyer I talked too, never told I didnt have a chance to get 50/50 and keep my house. The entire process is a negotiation. If if you and her can't agree, the judge might decide you'll sale the home. And my W is a stay at home mother. Stop just laying down. If this lawyer isnt giving the advice you want to hear, go talk to other lawyers. This lawyer sounds like they just want the case and not the fight.
