Still Waiting......
I'm still waiting for something to happen. My lawyer and I filled out the form for child custody and visitation and sent it to be approved and signed by the STBE (soon to be ex). Just a couple of days ago my lawyer sent a request for information and documents that she has been waiting for. It seems that the STBE really wants to draw this out.

The Process
It's amazing how slow this process really goes. Maybe when it's all finished I'll be amazed at how fast it went, who knows?
There were a bunch of forms that I had to disclose a ton of personal, financial and other information on. Fitting that it's called Disclosure. I filled them out and gave them to my lawyer within a few days of receiving them. Then I had to make an appointment to see her to go over them and we've finished all that. Unfortunately, the other party has been dragging his feet and we had to make a decision to push it or not. I originally told her that I was patient and wouldn't push but I've changed my mind and called her office and told them "let's get this moving along". Hopefully I'll speak to her in the next few days. So that's where that stands.
I still haven't spoken to my ex at all but have exchanged a few emails about the children and visitation. All very civil. I did hear from a family member of his that he is "a mess" and that's too bad. Luckily, I'm feeling strong, keeping busy, learning new things and making a good, new life for my sons and I. It's important that they see an adult dealing with change well instead of disintegrating.
