I visited my lawyer yesterday.
Suprisingly, he has not contacted her. We went over how we'd like to split the marital assets. Since he has not responded with a lawyer to the suit, he is technically in default.
We talked about the girls since he has started to comment on "missing" them. (So typical - he doesnt say he is worried about them or wants to know how they are doing. Instead its all about him once again.) I talked to their therapist to get her professional opinion on what she thinks is the best thing for them on visiting with him. She immediately nixed it saying his erratic behavior - outside the possibility of physically hurting or scaring them- would only confuse them. Combining this with the fact that they have not indicated any need or want to see him, she thinks we should stick to the two-year order during which time he could prove he can keep to his meds and get better.
So worst case is he gets a lawyer and he drags out the process. But the results will be the same.
Best case is he continues to be in default and this entire thing can be done in April.
Yes! In April. Apparently, if the grounds are mental cruelty, one does not have to wait six months.
How sweet that will be. Then I can get back to just focussing on our lives and the future.
