Had THE talk... Glad it's over
| Sun, 01-28-2007 - 7:04pm |
Today we had went out to lunch. The kids were at one table and us at another. For some reason I just thought it was the right time. I said " I want a divorce" he said "I know".
When we got home he came up to talk to me. He had been wanting the same thing for months but did not want to be the bad one who broke up our marrige. (But cheating was okay). After we had a good calm talk about what we wanted and what we should do he went down stairs. Five minutes later he came back up and handed me a paper it said...
He would give me sol custidy with visitation 2nd, 4th and 5th weekend.
He would pay 35% child support
He would give me $300 a month spousal support
He would give me all but $800 of our 6k income tax
He would pay half the kids extra activities.
We would sell the house
A small list of items he wanted.
He would not get an lawyer and fight me.
This is better than my lawyer thought I could get if he fought. My mom wants me to have him get the paper noterized first thing Monday. He does want me to go down and file next week. So if all goes well it should be over in a couple of months. Now the hard part is moving and telling the kids. I never expected this to go this way. I really thought he would fight me for the kids. My gut tells me he is seeing someone and he needs this to be over with.

That is excellent news. I hope that over the next few weeks and months this can be legally settled without him changing his mind. What a relief for you and your children.
Good luck in finding a new place, and in all the things you will need to do in the near future to get you and the kids settled in. :-)
