Steve. Was going to do joint b day party. Decided to do it seperate and am holding on that. After already changing my mind once. She already put together a list of my family and her family, and I gave her the idea for the venue. I took 4 days to decide it. I decided as much as I wanted to originally do this jointly for the sake of my S1, my attitude torwards her and the actions she is taking has changed. Maybe in the following years I will go joint on special occasions. She understands this. No more family functions together as of now. (I still suspect EA which she denies, as of current for another story.) I am not combining refinancing in any way. I don't trust her with them anymore. I understand the abandonment and legal ramifications for leaving the M home before the D. I will get more into that with L tomorrow. I'm hoping to get something drawn up to where the custodial parental rights are drawn up if I do move out and no legal action will be taken against me when I do decide to go in a few month after partial buyout moneys after refinance. It will be her job once I'm out to list the house on the market and take care of the house from there on all the appraisals and repairs and so forth.
