It didn't go well with S. He is determined to get half my retirement and stock and also wants spousal support. I guess there's no pride there. So, it looks like this will be more expensive than I'd hoped. He even said he's going to "make a list of all your responsibilities that you didn't fulfill." By that he means I didn't clean and cook enough. What is this...1950? Gee, one would think being the breadwinner for the family might be the main focus for me since he wasn't fulfilling "his responsibilities" by bringing home the bacon. Ah well. My attorney said he can definitely make a case that S isn't entitled to half of my retirement and stock since he didn't contribute as one would expect a stay-at-home spouse to contribute.
S has now completely abandoned DD and in his deluded thinking is justified in doing so since he perceives that I'm "turning her against him." Paranoia reigns supreme.
I should have the money for my attorney's retainer pulled together in about five or six weeks and will very happily give him instructions to serve the papers.
On a happier note, DD is taking photography and is sooooo excited about it. Last night she set up some candles and did some experimenting with long exposures. It was so much fun to watch her get all excited about the results. Ah, my mama-heart is just bursting.
That's it for now. I'm looking forward to my weekend. Yay! I love you girls! :-)
Weight loss to date on the my-husband's-a-lying-cheating-bastard diet: 21 pounds. How do you like me now? ;-)
Two things:
ReplyDelete1. Let's hear it for societal norms and gender stereotyping! That should work in your favor, I think. I hope. :)
2. Your desk is lonely, as are your duckies. They just wanted you to know.
