Into the Fire (LB55 thread 2)

[LB55]

Thanks for the thoughts and wishes everyone. Things went ok today.

The judge ruled that I don’t need supervision to see the kids so that is really great. I can see them on weekends, only during the day until I have a place and then they can stay with me every other weekend. I am still going for 50-50 in the final version. This is my opportunity to prove myself to the court.

I don’t agree with the financials very much. I have to pay $1500 of her legal fees, she gets all income from both rental homes, plus I owe $2000 in maintenance and $1776 in child support. So basically she gets $7395 a month to sit at home watching Netflix and I have $3270 a month to live on until the mediation process and final agreements are done. Kind of [censored], but at least I get to see the kids. Rent is about $2000 for a 3 bed place here, leaves me pretty short month to month. Not sure I want to execute my plan to kind of slow things down now and give her time to think about the realization of all this. She got her cake and gets to eat it too.

I have to get re-evaluated for alcohol dependency because I used a military doctor instead of a civilian one and they think he is partial. Plus I have to go see a therapist again because evidently psychology is different in CA than in WA so that doesn’t count either. Oh well, fairly simple things all in all I guess.
