I was thinking ...


about the upcoming 3/4 meeting, the 3/14 pre-trial meeting and the response to the petition.

It seems to me that, as I said earlier in the blog, the 3/4 meeting and 3/14 pre-trial are just going to be wastes of my money. And, I can fully expect this to go to trial in August.

I think his lawyer can sit in a judge's chambers listening and negotiating fair settlements but he can't make FSO accept one. My lawyer and his came out of that chamber thinking the proposal was workable. Yet, its clear from his response to the petition, which was filed three weeks after the first pretrial, that FSO is not working on the same page as his lawyer.


The petition response was as ridiculous as it gets.

I know I've covered this ground before but my feelings about it are somewhat different. I realize now that it doesnt matter either way. The only thing the on-going divorce procedure is stopping me from doing is get myself up on places like Match.com so I can date again. I can do it but there are not many responses to "Currently separated" - I myself am not interested in anyone who is separated and not divorced or widowed. Other than that, our life goes on in the same way.

If it goes to August, we have a chance for the stock to recover some value and its more likely he will have another episode or not keep to the criteria to see the kids. If he settles now, I will be free and we'll know the money available, and no more legal costs. Or at least, minimal ones.

And I can stop making his car payments which cost me over 400 a month which is a lot of money. He can have his car back and you know what they say...


Three's the charm!
