Welcome, great to de-lurk, and guess what? I'm originally from Cleveland. Just went back over Memorial Day weekend (froze, was expecting warmer weather) for a wedding and will probably go back for my 30th high school reunion in Oct. D4 can't wait to go back next summer for her other cousin's wedding. Enjoy the summer. I am always struck by how incredibly green it is there in summer.

User name- tbear_au

Real name- Tracy

Age- 46

City- Adelaide, Australia

Kids- 3 dd 20 at the end of the month, ds 18 in a few days, & dd 13 in Oct.

Pets- Well they are all with dh in our house (dog, cat & bird- Corella).

I only left dh in March, even though I have been separated in my head for years! I've been an iVillage member for 10 years, but only on this great board since March. I did not set out to find a dating board, I joined the "Surviving Divorce & Separation" board first but everyone there seemed to be doing the "oh woe is me, how can I live without him" thing! No-one seemed at all positive about splitting up, & since it was the best thing I have done in years it was not the place for me! :o)

Just adding .02 about your CS ordeal - I would see if the lawyer can communicate your desire to get more money - and make sure he indicates it is for their needs and you don't mind having them more and be in charge of the spending for them. In my mind their dad should understand that you like having them more and just need a bit more for their needs and you don't mind being the one to go and get all those things. Sometimes, wording is everything. Although I do remember the story about your ex - that he is a bit "all about me" like PB - so maybe QB better speak here?

Glad to hear things otherwise are going so well. I was cracking up when I read you are seeing less of Kazoo because of "your design" - very well done - and good for you! Sounds like you are doing a great job of work, the house, the girls and putting you first!!

LOL!!

Yes, Rose Specs needs lots of documentation that she is the one who has the kids 80% of the time and she has to keep meticulous records on expenses. Then she'll likely have a case for getting an adjustment to the decree that reflects reality. But decrees are just pieces of paper. If her X chooses to not follow it or not pay, we all know how difficult it is to do anything about it. Mine has just pulled a disappearing act, I'll start a new thread as this is roll call.
