Just received email back from lawyers and of course she wants 50/50 custody (or at least the lawyer is telling her to try) and it upsets me. She's been a terrible mom and she abandoned her child when she left the house. At least the courts will look at that favourably for me as I've been the responsible parent. I'm going to fight as much as I can for as much time with my son as possible. I have a feeling it will get nasty but what am I supposed to do?
She's also saying her income is less than it actually is (no big deal as the T4's will show the truth) and she of course wants to pay less child support or spousal support.
Also is against me keeping the house and my investments.
She has yet to take any responsibility for the breakdown of our marriage or even apologize for her behaviour. I've done IC and have apologized for numerous things in our relationship. Have tried to be a better person and future partner and have stepped up to be a great dad for our son. I'm the one taking him to school and picking him up. Taking him to doctor appointment and haircuts. Buying new clothes for him. She hasn't done any of this.
I think I'm at a point now where I despise the person she has become. I knew this would happen if she tried to take my son away. She has ruined our family with her selfish behaviour and I feel like I'm done with her. At the same time I'm aware that feelings change and I understand now why all the vets always say "feelings can change so don't get too wrapped up in how she's currently feeling".
