Hilary,
Sorry again for my tone during my last note and
again.. Thank you for the information you provided.
My Lawyer did advise me that the difference that
proving that my wife had an extra marital affair
with another women would not make an appreciable
difference in the outcome of my case. I think that
I've reached a time where I'm ready to give up and
let things fall as they may.
If you don't mind I do have one more question. If
I decided to move out of the area would that have
a dramatic outcome on my case? I did ask my Attorney
this question previously and she stated that people
do it all the time and it shouldn't be a problem. Now
she has told me that she advises against it.
Really.. this is similar to the fact that she
previously told me that I might expect to pay $80/week
or more in alimony.. but now she speaking more
like $200 or more a week in alimony. So I think
you can see that I feel that I am being misguided.
My really biggest problem is the fact that I have
completely taken care of my soon to be Ex and my
children (she has not provided any income toward
the family and quit working the day that I first
mentioned Divorce) to ensure that my children would
be well cared for.. Now my lawyer states that
the judge will look it as "I've been able to survive
this long with this amount of money, there would be
no reason that I couldn't continue this way". And
in the mean time I have fallen a month and half back
on my rent, owe heavily on my phone bill plus other
bills.
I could go on forever but that would not be fair
for you. If you could answer my question about
moving though, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Randy.
