Author xenomorph Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Btw, been cross referencing information from several family law lawyers. I'm pretty broke, but I've managed to get a lot of free, solid info by doing this. Maybe there should be a thread on here about free sourcing information, since a lot of us on here aren't exactly millionaires Link to post Share on other sites
Author xenomorph Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Got him to cooperate on a dissolution; filed and on its way! We are talking again, but reconciliation is tentative and I am not putting much into that basket. I can go either way at this point. He's realized what a huge mistake he's made, and has admitted to treating me badly. He went nuts, had fun with new partners, and then saw how empty and lonely he really was. Typical GIGS, I suppose. I am not sure if I can ever fully forgive him for his erratic foolish greed, even though he regrets so much. In the meantime, I've been doing better than ever and have even started to dip my toes into the dating pool. I feel very attractive and desired! Conversations have gotten emotional and intimate at times with the ex, but I've managed to keep a cool head afterwards. I am not interested in "saving" our marriage, nor am I sure if I can handle being "friends". We are planning our first "date" together next week. Neutral ground: dinner and a movie. I am willing to try and build something new, but this will take some time and lots of forgiveness. Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for the update and keep us posted on your progress. Regarding low-cost legal help, I found the self-help desk at the courthouse to be incredibly helpful, and it was free. They referred us to a law school who did mediation, which was also free, and my only significant cost relevant to the actual filing/judgment was having my lawyer review the MSA (settlement agreement). In our area, the courts recognize that not everyone is a millionaire, or that people don't want to spend large amounts of money on lawyers, so provide limited help in that regard. I hope the reconciliation, or whatever path this takes for you, goes well. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
