Hi MJ,
I saw your post awhile ago but just haven't had time to look or post here last week.
I agree with mb. The main reason I suggested the divorced forum was for you to contribute to others in a similar situation and also for some support for you. It was mainly because I understood that the legal divorce was now final, but I understand and recognize your belief in marriage/divorce in terms of your faith.
I hope you're doing well. Me, I may be starting a new job career in editing for a few months starting this coming week. Its sort of complicated to explain, but is with a magazine publisher (no not that online stuff) and ivolves their impression with my attention to detail and desire to persure a writing career. MJ my friend, I am almost age 70 but I have to assure you that jobs are out there if you devote time looking for them. Fortunately I don't have to work for at least a little while but I want to discover what I can continue to do.
Hope the holy family stays close to you.
Tom

There is good news and bad news on my end.
The good news is I got a job. It doesn't come with benefits, but pays a decent salary. It's a step up. Combined with my other gig, I will not need to worry nearly as much about my finances or career. I can be a reporter. What's more, I am up to date on my CS payments.
The bad news is WW refused to consider sending DD 4.5 to Catholic school. This rankles me. WW went to Catholic school for a year or two, but refuses to let her own daughter do the same. WW is steamed I don't see or talk with her. Whatever; as helpthelostdads and others say, WW's think only of themselves.
Oh, also, WW refuses to let me deduct one of our kids for federal and state taxes. She will reimburse me. (Her lawyer slipped this provision in at the last moment). Any idea when she must re-imburse me? Or should I withhold CS until she pays me back?
That's it for now. I will have more later.
