Well I arrive back in the same geographic location as W and kids tomorrow. I am immediately going to get in my vehicle and go spend a couple days at my sister's house to relax and work on legal stuff. I will be able to get my mail, which will have all of my credit cards in it plus all my new checking account stuff and ATM card. That will make me a bit more comfortable, as right now I am rolling with the shirt on my back and the money in my pocket.

Saw today that she used our joint credit card to rent a storage unit. It is likely she is going to put all of 'my' stuff in there and then tell me I can pick up the key from her parents. Somehow she will think that I am just going to accept this as a good faith act on her part to 'help' me. All it does for me is show guilt and shame that she doesn't want me to see what is going on at the house. I will let the court and my L sort it out.

It is clear to me through W actions that she believes this is already in the bag and the court will just agree with her declaration and be done with it. Booking vacations before you know the assigned parenting plan is destined to backfire.

Will be interested to see what the L has to say with her first draft of the response to W declaration. I sent the L all the info on Wednesday to start working it. Have a medical appointment tonight to get a lover function test done to help prove my lack of alcoholism. Drafted a reasonable spousal support plan in reply to her 'needs statement' as well. Its amazing how using actual bank statements for actual costs results in a $1500/month difference between her estimates and reality.
