It Comes To A Head On Wednesday

At this point it doesn’t matter. The hearing was Wednesday. All testimony has been heard and evidence seen. The continuance is only for DOR (name removed by moderator)ut if any and the judge’s ruling.

I think I did well enough. The lawyer had a few objections and I think only one was sustained if any. I started bringing up her finances which seemed extremely high on some things and the lawyer tried to argue that her expenses are irrelevant and the judge felt they were relevant considering the lawyer was asking for me to pay her fees. The lawyer also kept trying to dismiss what I pay total in health insurance as in if the judge took the two kids off of it, leaving five kids on there, it would magically just be a premium for just me. I wouldn’t let her do that. I kept bringing it up until the judge said that the court understands that whether there is seven kids or five kids, I still pay the same premium.

I basically stuck to the facts as they are. I didn’t try and hide anything. I remained calm (little nervous in the beginning, but settled in) through the whole thing. Didn’t let my emotions get the best of me.

I expect to pay more, but I am hoping it will be more reasonable, I am not above paying another $50 or $100 per month. Reasonable I am good with.

We will see in October.

One more week to go. Hoping it is over next week. I can then go back to living my life not in fear of how much she is going to get.

Although, she can do this again in three years or if she feels there is a sufficient bump in my financial circumstances job wise. Thankfully, getting married to a woman that makes more than I do doesn’t count as I should be married to my girlfriend by that point.
