LB - thanks so much for posting.

You perfectly described my life. She has ramped up the false accusations to an alarming degree. I have chosen only to exchange our kids in a public place. When people make these allegations it is “guilty until proven innocent” to a degree. It is a daily nightmare but I’ve learned to live with it. One of my friends went through this about 5 years ago and said he still worries she may file false allegations again.

I am about to hopefully have some good news regarding time with my kids. After that, I still have a lot of financial issues to deal with (her refusal to work, burying herself in the marital home) and will have to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze. I’ve probably got 6 more months on that front.

About 4 months ago I made a settlement offer which would have wrapped everything up at almost no cost. I gave way on several items (not kids). She responded with a move away threat. Crazy. All this money going to lawyers instead of our kids.

A couple weeks ago in a mediation session she made new allegations. Flat out made up things. It is scary. I can’t wait to be out of this. I’m grateful that my lawyer mapped this out well.
