Okay, and here's today's update: L called and said for me to come in and sign the papers that we'll be delivering to H's L. I read through the papers in the my L's office, and ... well ... holy freakin' cow. H appears to be screwed. L brings out the big guns: The abandonment, the "extramarital adulterous affair," the fact that H has said he hates me and hates our child, etc. I've never seen anything like it. He also says we'd like mediation first, but if that doesn't work, he wants a freakin *jury trial*! WTF? I've never heard of such a thing in a D proceeding. Ugh. It certainly doesn't sound like fun.
I totally trust my L and that he's doing what's in my best interest. Fact is, my L adores my H, but he's tired of sitting idly by while my H treats me like sh*t and serves me with complaint after complaint, and then refuses to budge when we offer a reasonable counter-proposal.
I guess H will get the papers (which is actually our answer to his November complaint) either tomorrow or Friday. Makes me wanna vomit, actually.
