Hi all. It’s been a long week or two for me, seems as though when things fall apart they really go to hell. To update, I’ve been plowing through a divorce and all the fun stuff that goes with it. Back in the first week of August, I noticed that my checking account was overdrawn by a rather large amount. Seems my wife’s direct deposit was no longer deposited, I was in the hole for over $3,000.00. All the bills were paid with my last couple of paychecks and left me just about broke. Of course, in the meantime, I broke a molar, my truck needed to be fixed, I got a ticket for no inspection, and needed a new prescription for reading glasses(can’t see sh*t anymore).
I went with my attorney two weeks ago for the first court date to see what needs to be resolved; I have forgone a custody fight at this time, it would cost too much and I really don’t have an issue with my wife as a mom. Basically, she can still live in the house without it being sold, I will have to move out even though I don’t want a divorce. This is how the court sees that the children will be properly taken care of, so they won’t be uprooted and all. I could agree on this point to some extent, but with all my money tied up in the house, I’ll be put out like the cat in about six months. I think I won’t be able to convince the judge that the house should be sold so I’ll have something of a life.
The numbers indicate that I will be pretty poor for about 7 more years, that at least 1/3 of my take home pay will go to child support. After my last child turns 18 I can live a little again. I’ll be 54 by then, LOL.
In the mean time, I’ve not been running too much, haven’t really lifted too much, not slept too much. Too much stress, I guess. I am watching my diet but that’s about it, I don’t have ANY motivation whatsoever to do anything more than get out of bed every day. Hopefully when things settle down some I’ll get back to a regular routine.
I am back in court late November, there is a sit down with attorneys and my wife prior to this, it should be interesting to say the least.
I find all of this somewhat surreal, like a crazy kind of dream. For now, I just have to see where this takes me.
Work has let up a little as well, so I should have a little more time here now.
Nice to be back.:D
