...try to spare a thought for those of us in Wade's situation, which might be one of a very few even less enviable than yours right now.

I mean, Kssheeh...!, come on -- not even the U.S. "justice" system would go against you on this.

But Justice carries a double-edged sword; not always is the woman a white-as-the-driven-snow damsel in distress, and the man a definitely-blacker-than-night villain; sometimes, it's even pretty close to the other way around(*)... But our Western "justice" systems don't seem to be set up to recognize that fact.

So try not to be a bad winner when eventually, as I'm sure you will, you triumph, is all I'm saying.


(*): Not that I'm necessarily saying that's how it is with Wade... But I'm certainly not saying it necessarily isn't, either.

New The AU system got overhauled recently.
And by 'recently', I mean in the last two years.

There were two chief changes: the first was that custodial assumptions now begin at 50/50. The old assumption was at least 20 years out of date. The second chief change was change the legal process such that applicants must prove they have tried all the cheaper and faster options for resolving custody before it goes before a judge. Whilst this sounds like the goal was reducing the number of cases that appear before a judge, I'm told by a family law practitioner that the goal was to actually get disputes resolved faster, because going to court is the slowest solution of all.

Wade.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New I hope your opinion of me
Is not that of a pure as the driven snow damsel in distress. That is pretty far from the truth.

I'm not concerned about the other women and men out there at the moment. My primary concern is being able to provide for my kids, give them a good life,and do the best I can.

I want to do what is right.

With that said, I am rightly going to have my attorney jump all over his ass.

New No, of course it ain't :-) and sure, I know that's what...
...you'll do first.

As I said, *afterwards*.

OK? (Thoughts are cheap. And quick. :-)

New Okay.
When this is over, I'll worry about the plight of others as I normally do- but right now, it's all about me, baby.
