Well... it's done. I'm officially divorced. I have sole custody of the kids. ExW gets them overnight every other Saturday. As of now, she isn't even taking them then. She got half of my retirement and I had to pay her a lump sum of $8000. I got to keep the house. I pay no spousal support and she pays no child support. So glad to be done with all of it. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. It's amazing that over a year and a half ago, if you would have asked me, I would have stuck in there and dealt with all the BS to make it work. Over time, I was able to see things how they truly were and reached a point of acceptance. My kids and I are so much better off now. For anyone reading this, I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow the steps in DBing. Whether things you end up divorced or not, its so important to getting through everything. Good luck, all...
