Halfway there.

So the first part of the legal stuff is now finalized. As I said in my last post, it's been a struggle having the kind of patience I needed to wait so long.

The truth is, the largest part of the wait, was the lawyer's fault. He took his sweet old time, and it took nearly a year for something that should have taken half as long as it did.

Now, I'm faced with the possibility of needing to hire them again to wrap this all up. Apparently I need to finish all of this, using an attorney in the state I filed the case in. I'm not a lawyer, so that doesn't make sense to me.

Now that I'm 'halfway there.' I've really been stressing about the final outcome of all of this. I suppose it's fine to just say that all of this revolved around me filing for divorce, and it being finalized last week. Because I have a child, I now need to locate the ex, and take care of the custody stuff (I've been granted primary custody) and while that's incredible news for me, I worry how my child will take the news. I'm very worried about that.

Hopefully the next news I share will be happy news, but all I can do at this point is to remain hopeful.
