Well I saw the L today, we are a good fit and I am happy to work with her. She appreciates my honesty, it makes her job easier. We are going to formulate our rebuttal to her nonsense and work on our desires for the outcome. I don't hate my W, even with all this crap going on. I am trying to remember that she isn't herself and she doesn't know what she is doing.

My goals for this are to get a reasonable custody agreement (50/50 is what I want), get her some mental help, make sure she isn't destitute but not provide so much support she can just keep on with her lifestyle, she needs to have financial responsibility in this and I will make sure the court knows my stance on that, and my last goal is to not drag my wife through the mud. I will take the high road everytime, and my L will too. We are going to come back strong, make sure she knows we aren't playing around, and the see her reaction to it. I am passive and I think she is expecting me to fold. Not going to happen.

I have to say my sister is awesome! She came with me to the L today and is my go to person to talk with and be there for me. I have always had a good R with her, and this is really making us closer. It is very nice. Her and my W are close too, but she will not speak to my W right now, just as well. She can see the pain I go through everyday, and it is so nice to have her in my corner. Just needed to say that. Yes I told her that too.

Thanks to all here for your perspective and advice, I have learned so much and will keep learning from you all. I will continue to updat as we go along, and hopefully I can provide some good stuff for others here too for dealing with this.
