I have just been back from some time off and saw a lawyer before. It seems that the lawyer or the legal system here anyway is preferring settlement much more than going to court for divorce. We quickly go through the estimated value of all of our known assets and although I think it is quite a nice amount, the lawyer seems to think that if its not in the 10s of millions it will not be worth fighting for. That, and the fact that we have so little joint assets makes settlement more favourable. I am still sitting down on this discussion and will meet a couple of friends who have been through the same thing next week too.
Secondly, I am still away from home with my H looking after son. Last night, he called to say that he tested positive for Covid and needs to isolate for 7 days at home with my son. He sounds very poorly (he has kinda been a bit sickly the last time I saw him) and I am worried for him. I am worried for my son and worried that he might not be well taken care of, or be wondering where Mummy is. I am also worried that H might be too ill to take care of my son, but now I cannot go there unless I want to isolate with them.
I am not sure whether I should offer my help and offer to come home at this point. A part of me wants to be there for my son as he will need comforting, especially if his test turns out positive, but another part is worried because I am pregnant. Additionally, it will surely be against detachment if I suddenly come back there again knowing H is stuck there for a week.
