So, STBX stopped by tonight. We were talking and I was very honest with him. I told him I felt betrayed that he hired a lawyer and that I was being served with divorce papers (tomorrow). I told him it was humiliating. I then asked if there was anything I should know about before getting those damned papers. He said no, but then later casually mentions that he's petitioning for primary residence of our daughter! I'm so livid! I cannot believe the nerve! We were actually trying to work out an arrangement of our own and I asked yesterday if he'd like to have her this weekend and he said he couldn't b/c he has a football game this weekend (high school at that). So, basically he doesn't even have time for her now, but he has the nerve to do that, just to hurt me! I don't have a lawyer, but so help me God I will tomorrow. I do not want to fight, but he has crossed a line. Ladies, please let me know- can I request that he help pay my legal fees (he makes 75% more than me). Is he likely to get primary custody? Also, I have photos of the bruises he left on my arms the week before last. Didn't have the nerve of the guts to press charges but I thought it needed to be documented. I also have documented proof that he spent her school clothes money on VIDEO GAMES! This was money I earned by selling the majority of my clothes on Ebay, because I knew we didn't have the resources to buy them ourselves, since I was the only one bringing in any income for 2 months- he decided yet again to change jobs again and we had to pay for the financial burden. I have more tales of his abuse and irresponsibility and somehow through the grief, anger, and sadness I have it all documented. Do I have a strong case against him? Jesus-I didn't want it to be like this.

Have you had a chance to speak to an attorney yet?
