Did you ever wonder why you had to spend so much money to get an outcome you probably could have hammered out at the kitchen table had she been reasonable?
I wondered that since the beginning of all this. Now that it is done it doesn't cross my mind much. It is in the past and there is nothing that will modify that so no reason to dwell upon it.
We went back and forth through attorneys with offers for months. I sent the first offer...she replied with a 75/25 split. So that is where we started.
She struggled to see the bigger picture...instead choosing to fight about a broken weedeater and some fish in the freezer. Anything that I wanted from the home was always a firm no. Our total asset value was near $2M btw.
The agreed upon support amount is much more manageable for me and I am able to recover financially fairly quickly. The initial hearing judge to set support amounts took her victim story hook line and sinker and gave her tons of money. I got a $3500/month 'raise' when the final papers were signed. All things that contribute to my ability to move forward and put my mind at ease.
Thanks for the awesome compliment! We root for each other here and that is what makes this forum great! Keep up the positive attitude and fight the good fight while looking out for your own sanity.
