And expensive to boot. To even get anything started, most lawyers will ask for no less than $1000.00 as a retainer. To me, that'a a huge amount of money...of which I am in very short supply.

Sometimes even that isn't enough. And with the cutbacks that Gov. Culver has requested to balance the state budget, things are going to get worse. DHS/Child Protective Services employees are spread too thin as it is.

Oh, believe me...I'm quite careful about that. I would never do anything to break the law. In fact, when I went over to talk to him, I brought along a friend as a witness, so that my ex and her boyfriend couldn't fake a story to the police.

Good thinking on that one, Pears! Sounds like you have a cool head on your shoulders and are in control.

Divorce is always hard... that's why God said he hates it so much. But sometimes it just has to be done, and God surely knows the circumstances surrounding the decision.

I read this a few months ago, and although I'm definitely not feeling quite that way, I'm afraid to be visited by those ghosts too. . . Not feeling very Christmassy either. I do hope your situation has definitely turned out for the better these nine almost ten years later, though!

Best wishes for everyone else, especially Pears! :roll: 8)
