Inspirations

Inspirations

Just in a bit of a rambling mood…

On my divorce support online forum the question was asked what or who inspires you… So I have asked myself that question and my answer is CARTER!

Carter my son is what inspires me the most. I love that boy more then I ever thought it would be possible to love anyone. I honestly am scared to wonder where I would be right now if it weren't for him. He is my inspiration that has kept me alive during this divorce process.

Other inspiring people in my life are of course GOD, my parents, the rest of my family and all of my friends whether they are online or real life friends.

Court...

Well I am still married...

The judge would not grant the divorce with the visitation set up the way Dave wanted it. He wanted it to say that visitation would just be agreed upon between us. The judge said there has to be some sort of mandated visitation schedule. We don't have to follow it and can add days to it as we see fit. So my lawyer is drafting up the papers again to change the visitation to what we originally had that Dave wouldn't agree to.

Dave told the judge again that he had a problem with not allowing our son around a boyfriend or girlfriend until said person was in a continuous relationship with them for at least 6 months. Dave stated that if he got a girlfriend and moved in with her in say 3 months would that stop his visitation. The judge said it wouldn't per say stop the visitations, but it would stop the overnight visits. So now it is just no overnights with the new significant other for at least they are together for 6 straight months.

The judge wouldn't grant the first right of refusal either. Which is where if either Dave or I couldn't watch Carter during our period of time with him that we would first have to contact the other parent before we found alternative care. The judge said only if it is going to be longer them 48 hours.

So now we are just waiting on my lawyer to draft up the new papers and mail them to Dave to sign, and them mail them to me to sign before she can resubmit them to the court.

Court Tomorrow

Well I have court tomorrow at 9 am. I think this is going to be our final court appearance and everything should be final.

It is scary to think that tomorrow I am going to be divorced. It is really sad to think that my hopes and dreams I had for 10 years are really over for good.

I am so nervous.
