Yep, KD, my lawyer is pretty darn cool.

My ex keeps saying things in the heat of the moment that just keep digging him in deeper and deeper. My daughter got in an argument with him yesterday and he told her "fine, you're old enough, you can do what you want." when she told him she hates living there. He's even told her he went against the GAL's ruling after a couple of years when he was "forced" to live with his mother after his parents' divorce. So what's stopping her from getting out of there? He's said she can to her. He told me the kids could live wherever they wanted if they didn't like things after his g/f moved in. He's said he didn't follow the court's ruling when he went through this as a teen. And yet when the legal system deals with him, he fights tooth and nail to keep his kids.

It just solidifies it for me more and more that he's looking after one thing and one thing only - his wallet. If I get the kids even a couple more hours a week when this is all said he done, he will HAVE to pay child support this time. Since I waived it during the divorce (due to his threatening me) the court won't put it into place this time if it remains 50/50.

I might feel threatened by him at times, but I think this time he's feeling more threatened by the courts.
