FIRST COURT DATE 7/24!!!!
| Mon, 07-17-2006 - 11:52am |
Just got a call from my attorney. Court date is SET for next Monday, 7/24 at 9:30!
She said they'll order him to pay up on child support AND try to get another month's mortgage out of him, set up the visitation, sole possession of the house for ME...just the preliminaries then we'll go back AGAIN at a later date regarding the alimony.
I can't really say it's bitter sweet because I am so ready to do this, I just hope that ho of a OW was worth everything he's going to lose. That part I don't think I'll ever understand.
Had to share, thanks for listening!

good for you, Jenn ...
my motto: "skank GF can have your half, but she can't have mine" not after 11 years of marriage wherein i sacrificed and supported, yet, received little, very little in return; in fact, i was placed at the bottom of STBX's priority list: friends, golf, alcoholism, materialism, business, clubbing and singing (or as STBX called it, "networking"), children, then me.
i so hope you get the financial support you deserve, because i'm not certain with temporary or permanent orders, my STBX will pay for anything since he abandoned our twin DSs early last month. in the end, i'll end up like i started, caring for our boys myself. but at least the legal system is the great equalizer; i may have been constantly disregarded, disrespected, and disappointed in my marriage, accused of not understanding or supporting my STBX, but the law states: i do matter, and i WAS an equal partner, and thus, deserving of an equitable distribution of assets. so know that you are indeed deserving of your contributions to your marriage (e.g., alimony!) and MORE!
yes, the OW(plural) must come with golden nuggets, if you know what i mean, cause when these men get with them, many, many male-types seamlessly, blatantly, and callously forget their prior lives, obligations, children, etc., they abandon their character and conscience, all for perceived greener grass, which eventually will need cutting WITH the same lawn mower, awww, tooooo bad.
good luck & keep us posted; i know i'll need as much encouragement as i can get & what to expect when my court date finally arrives ...
Jenn, this is great news!!!!! I hope you're able to take him to the cleaners. You know it isn't about the money but more of the principle. It is almost like they walk out that door and they forget all the responsibility because of some OW who we all know will get dumped as we did.
Let us know how your hearing goes.
I'm still waiting to find out when mine is. Like you I am so ready for it. I want to get it over with and get on with my life.
