Hi Julie, sorry it has fallen apart. Best wishes for your court case.<BR> {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Julie}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<P>------------------<BR>Lor<BR>"Let love be genuine...hold fast to what is good; love one another." Rom 12:9-10

Julie: Your in my thoughts today! I will say a prayer for you. Let us know how it goes! <P>Missy2

Let us know how it goes. Will be praying for you.

Hi lwb<BR>I too will be moving over to this board from the Infidelity section. You are right about having a rough time over the next while. I pray that you will have an easy go of it, making it friendly is tough work but we both have worked through some very difficult situations.<P>Keep in mind that a very high percentage of women get sole custody of the kids, especially ones where assualt by the husband occurr!

So sorry Julie, that you are moving over here...But we are a great group and will support you whatever happens.<BR>The D rollercoaster is as difficult to ride as the infidelity one, but with a sense that at least you knoe that in the near future the pain will lessen. <BR>But, remember, many people still get back together, even when the D is going on, so make sure you have made the right decision for you. You can take your time as well. <P>------------------<BR>Susan

LWB<BR>"Welcome" doesn't seem fitting phrase, but you will be among friends and you probably know some of the ppl here already. <P>Divorce isn't the happiest thing in the world but sometimes it's the choice we have to make. <BR>Good luck with the custody.

LWB,<P>Hi again....keep us posted on the court appearance today. I got here late.....but I will pray that everything went well.<P>Hold your head high....it's a tough road...but we will be fine.<P>Nancy

thanks for the support, everyone <BR>well, the case was not dismissed, and i have to go to trial. ugh. H will not testify against me, and my lawyer will put it off as long as possible, in hopes it gets dismissed soon. what a drag....<BR>i went to see the D lawyer, real neat lady. she told me it is OK to go to texas with the kids, and will look good in terms of getting custody, so that's good. H does not know where his next job will be, so she advised putting off filing till we are settled in one county or another for at least 90 days.<BR>I'm packed and ready to head out in the morning, and will get a letter from H tonight agreeing that i am not "stealing" the children, so all is well.<BR>H took me out to a nice dinner last night and we had a super fantastic time (I dressed up nicer than i ever have, and weigh less than before i had babies and wore a tiny little black dress-it was fun!), and he's been calling and telling me how wonderful and beautiful and sexy i am all day. It's nice to hear, but i just feel that once i am out of town, i'll be "out of sight, out of mind", though he claims he wants to work it all out. I'm being very cautious.<BR>There will be computers where im going, so i'll check in here from time to time. Pray the drive is uneventful (with a baby and a toddler? am i insane?!?!?!?)(san fransisco to houston with a few days in phoenix...yes, i am DESPARATE to escape. lol).<BR>hugs to all,<BR>julie

julie,<P>Have fun on your trip and try not to worry about the d. Your lawyer will take care of all of that.<P>Bob
