Evee it sounds like you made the best decision for both of you. It seems like since he isn't fighting you on this maybe it was what he wanted too.. you are still young and have plenty of time to start over and continue building the new you. Good luck to you!
It was my understanding that in Florida parents have to complete a parenting-class before they will finalize the divorce when there a kids and shared custody involved ....?
I remember when our friends got divorced they had to do it,and could not just go through the simple-divorce process
All parties to a dissolution of marriage proceeding with minor children or a paternity action that involves issues of parental responsibility shall be required to complete the Parent Education and Family Stabilization Course prior to the entry by the court of a final judgment. The court may excuse a party from attending the parenting course, or from completing the course within the required time, for good cause.
Maybe she got it excused? Or they already did it.
Evee, how did y'all agree so quickly about visitation and child support if you can't even agree on what to tell the kid about Santa?
Ok, I'll say it. I call bullshit. No way you--especially you-- did this in a few weeks time. No way at all.
I didn't say everything was complete. We signed the papers yesterday and they are being submitted to the courts today. I still have to take this parenting class and go in front of the judge. We don't have a court date yet. I'm not fully divorced yet. Perhaps I should have clarified.

We both agreed that we should have equal time share of DS. Neither of us is requesting child support. We don't hate each other. We aren't intending to hinder or cause ill will towards the other person. We are both trying to be as civil and cooperative as possible. It hasn't been easy, believe me. We are still aruging about stuff. Some how we just agreed on the equal time share and that neither of us are requesting child support.

Thanks for saying it. It doesn't sound right to me. And you signed divorce papers already. So you mean to tell me that you told him you don't love him anymore and just like that he has moved out, you bought a car, and you have agreed to one week on one week off.
I have known VERY amicable people who have divorced and it hasn't gone as smooth as this has for you.
If this is accurate then congrats. But this smells fishy to me
My boss has one week on - one week off, with her ex-H and she has the best of both worlds. A fabulous social life and the ability to work late and get ahead at work one week and then a week at home with her kids the next.
I would die if I didn't see DS for an entire week, every other week, but sometimes I look at my boss and think, "damn she has it good". Lol.
And even filing for divorce. That isn't cheap. At least not here. And I seem to recall you being concerned about money. I don't know. this all sounds very sudden
Also, massive at you ALREADY playing the "single mom" card...... You said you will be sharing custody with your ex-husband.
I may be wrong, but to me single mom means no input from the father at all, if you are switching weeks, I would say you have a decent amount of support.
Although, I'm curious how your H will have shared custody when he doesn't even have his own place?
I haven't played the single mom card. I said I'm nervous and a bit scared about doing it. And I have damn good right to do so. Lets see, I have an incurrable heart condition and my DS has special needs. I'll be responsible for DS 50% of the time without support. I have never cared for a child on my own before. So yes, forgive me for being a bit scared about doing this on my own.
I however have yet to complain or use the "single mom" card. So don't start that crap with me.
Yes he does. The courts will force him to give me equal share of it though. Currently, XH won't. But again I don't want to fight him. I just want this over and done with this so I can get on with my life.

see, I thought single mom meant that you were single, and a mom.

XH moved out this weekend. We signed the divorce papers yesterday. They are being submitted to the courts today. I was able to get a car on Friday.
I'm exhausted from doing a complete cleaning and declutter of my apartment to get rid of ALL of XH's crap.
I'm scared but excited about living on my own as a single mom. I think I'll do better without XH not there to bring me down and upset me all the time.
Also, you probably want to cut back on the Zumba.....with your heart condition and all
Zumba us actually good for my heart you twat. Please don't start making assumptions about my medical needs. You have no idea what my medical conditions involve. And I am a single mother now. I didn't complain or use the single mom card. I just said I was scared about being one. And again, rightfully so.
Also, I have no idea why I'm trying to justify myself to you.
wow, that was fast. i'm guessing bernie is gnashing her teeth that her divorce didn't go so quickly. good luck, evee.
and BULLSHIT that single mom means only a dead/totally absent father. just, no. please. evee gives everyone around here plenty of material. not need to make up a bunch of untrue crap just for the sake of poking her with a stick. ffs.
I get that people are down on Evee, but I haven't seen her post anything particularly weird here. She filed for divorce. Whee. And the single mom thing -- well, she will be a single mom; I don't see anyone else being held to any particular standard about custody arrangements when calling themselves a single mother. This whole post is weird, and the only reason people are bitching is because it's the thing to do to bitch at Evee.
The way I see it, a lot of people here were calling bs on her EVER filing for divorce and now that she's done it (and I think she has) now she's getting crap about that. The Evee bashing has gotten pretty old already.
