News Flash!

Yesterday my lawyer and I talked strategy. One of the many scenarios we came up with seemed to settle in today.

First, the news flash on his mental health...
He is still in the psyche ward of the hospital - he is getting discharged today at 4 pm. His lawyer saw him and he is taking his meds and doing better. His diagnosis is extreme bi-polar with a bunch of other stuff. My lawyer didnt write it down. On a paranoia scale, he scored 25 out of 100 - a big number apparently.


He is planning to live in a Residence Inn near the hospital where he will, once again, go through daily group therapy.

Second, he has signed a release for his lawyer to sort out his life. He has not paid any medical insurance for the last two months - we are hoping we are still covered. He owes the hospital from his previous stay over $70,000. This new attorney is going to represent him for the divorce and will be attending the status meeting this Friday.


He did buy a Mercedes - apparently on the strength of his signature!
He was in an accident with it, turned it in and the company has dropped any efforts to collect from him.

His attorney does think he is in condition to do the divorce so my attorney is jumping on it so we can catch him before he goes off the deep end again. He asked us to send him a settlement proposal and he says the FSO understands he has an obligation to support his kids.

Again, he wants to see the girls. Again its all about him and what they can bring to him. He never brought anything to them and its hard to see it any other way.


I contacted their therapist as per my lawyer's instruction
and asked her to send a letter to my attorney explaining why contact is not a good thing for the girls and to give a detailed list of things he must do in order to have any contact with the girls. My lawyer made certain his attorney understood that visitation is non-negotiable right now. And both of us agree he is not going to be able to meet any criteria in the future that will make it okay to meet with the girls.

I'm excited! Maybe we can get this thing done before the new semester kicks in. My attorney and I do not believe he will stay on his meds for long so its now a race against time.
