Freedom...
always comes with a price!

I am now DIVORCED! Yes you can congratulate me because I am now no longer attached to someone who has created more and more grief in my life.

Court trial for divorce SUCKS!

But....


NO ALIMONY! :woohoo:

Child Support Fair!

Equitable splitting of assets.

But, no joint custody granted... amazing lies presented as truth by her attorney...

But I'm free, and that is what matters.

17. Dunno if it can be changed
the judge had his opinion and he or the other one in the county would be who I would probably be in court with.

He says there has to be an agreement to it. I might have to fight dirty to get an agreement at this point because while you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, sometimes honey just makes you all sticky.

In other words she isn't agreeing to it for her own I think petty reasons that she has.

:shrug:


:hug:

3.5 years he will be 12. Then he can decide where he wants to live if the decisions are difficult.

11. Changing it is very difficult here
the judge said "the courts have traditionally not given joint custody when both parties don't agree", well 2 weeks ago and the months before we agreed... I have a witness to that, a counselor we were seeing at the time we were crafting the ideas. She didn't want to at first then she did.

Then she didn't? :wtf:

:hug:


I'm happy too!

no alimony! :D that was a joke in the first place.

10. Standard visitation applies
one day a week, every other weekend, 6 weeks in the summer, half of Christmas and spring breaks, every other holiday, etc.


Thanks

don't know if that 's liberal or not...

we had an agreement worked out to have joint custody, but she changed her mind within a few days actually.

12. IATD
:shrug:


The joint custody thing sucks but as long as you can see your son as scheduled it should be okay (and you can try to change it later, regardless of what the judge says)

At least this long painful process is OVAH!

15. I know, I feel a heavy burden lifted from my shoulders
I may feel something different than I feel now, but right now I feel like I saw the true colors of my now ex and it helps clarify to me the reasons again that I left in the first place.

:hug:
