Results from court...

Hello to everyone! I hope this Thursday finds you well. Tuesday morning I had my first divorce court hearing. Fortunately, there not many issues my Ex and I are not agreeable on. I spent most of Monday back and forth on the phone with my lawyer as he went back and forth with her lawyer. So, we went into court with everything agreed upon.
The results are that my Ex will be moving to San Antonio with my kids. SA is about 225 miles from Cleveland, Tx. which is about 45 miles north of Houston. Every other weekend, we will find a place in the middle to transfer the kids. They have 30 days to get moved, and as soon as the car pulls away, a for sale sign will hit the yard. I will be hopeing against hope that it sells before I have to pay the house note, my rent and child support...gonna have problems if that happens.
The good thing is I should be able to walk away from the house with a little money, we'll see. After 18 years of marriage it comes down to this. We had our ups and downs like anybody else does. The past several years things have gotten worse, finances gotten worse, our relationship passed the point of no return. Since I've left, haven't missed her and really felt a huge weight lifted being away from her. I really hate it for my kids, especially now that they are being uprooted just so my Ex can be by her parents, but they had us together for a lot longer than a lot of kids. I love them so much, and I will always be there for them.
Now I need to take this chance to discover who I am and what I have to offer soeone else. I have lost 12 pounds since February, down to 205. I haven't been at this weight for a long time, so this is another benefit of the split. I am doing everything I can to keep the relationship with my Ex workable, agreeable. I want her to find what she's looking for also and be happy again, I don't wish her ill.
Thanks for taking a few minutes of your life to read about mine.

I love you!

Dave

  2. Hi. I would like to share the wisdom of another nice guy.

    If it's a broken part, replace it
    If it's a broken arm, brace it
    And if it's a broken heart then face it

    And hold your own
    Know your name
    And go your own way
    Hold your own
    Know your own name
    And go your own way

    And everything will be fine
    Everything will be fine
