I got teared up reading this, too.
I am so, SOO proud of you. You asked for the thoughts of people you respect, carefully considered EVERYTHING, and made a very sound judgment, for very good reasons, with a result that sounds better for YOU and the KIDS than anything the system could have come up with on its own.
I think you are determined, brilliant, and a great mom. What a combination!
LOL, I can just see his attorney with a huge purple vein pulsing in his forehead. Although I find his tactics and behavior deplorable, I think he's dead-on that this is not a great agreement for his client. Thank goodness his client is an egotistical, narcissistic idiot. (Well, thank goodness for that for the purposes of getting this resolved--he is what he is, and it's too bad you have to continue dealing with him on any level.)
Enjoy the feeling of your hard-won victory today!
