Well, first court date through! Interesting to see H again - she was in a lovely suit, whereas I was feeling extremely self-conscious in scruffy shorts and t-shirt (cleverly decided I would walk into the city from Uni to settle my nerves this morning - all went well except the part where I forgot my change of dress clothes, heh heh). Anyways, we were referred for private mediation instead of govt-paid one b/c our estate is too large (gratifying yet annoying). And the mediation is to be 5 months from now, in August, to allow time for full disclosure because, get this, H's lawyer alleged that I have secret Cdn bank accounts!
Torn between amusement and wrath now, but overall feel wrath, wrath, wrath. It was especially irritating b/c H disclosed further paperwork last week, incl full valuation of her Lowmead property, & the valuation revealed she had tenants in the property when she had said not, as well as having Lowmead under contract at the time (though contract has since apparently fallen through). It is so symbolic of our relationship that H concealed income so radically and then alleges that I concealed income. GNARGH! However, I think am almost getting to the point when no longer surprised but rather saddened by H nefarious dealings revealed. And had really lovely conversation about Mg and the boys with my lawyer which I take the main point to be that I can freely spend loot on them as long as I disclose it and it will come out of my share in the house. Am contemplating flying the family over to Canada in July. But then I think maybe just MG, or maybe not even her - am likely to swing through Victoria, TO, Thunder Bay, and Halifax in 1 week (one of these hideous 36 hrs / spot tours, so I can see everyone) - I would in some ways quite like to do that with her but am worried it will be stressful and pointless. So hard to know. I have like 3 weeks of work travel so feel sad at the idea of not seeing her for so long. But it is a lot of $ - my vast wealth seems a lot smaller when I imagine trying to support 5 people on it. *grin*
Anyways, overall court thing = > than feared if not as good as hoped. Feel glad to have taken the next step in this drama.
