Stick to your guns and DO NOT BUDGE on the child issue. Period. Don't do it. If you are going to fight for joint custody, now is definitely the time to do it. Spare no expense and no tears over the issue. If you have to live next door to your wife in order for it to work after the D, so be it.
Once you sign the papers, give up your rights to your kids, and the D is done... there is virtually no going back.
Hang tough. No need to be mean, or angry or vengeful, just keep true in your heart that you WILL remain in your children's lives...
