I met with my lawyer again today. She advised me to refile for support for several reasons, the least of which being his attitude toward me buying food for the kids and me.
So, new hearing date is March 24th. Not too bad, I think.
I meet with Cornerstone on Tuesday regarding housing/job opportunities. I also need to start throwing in applications everywhere I can. It's difficult. Places don't often offer daytime full time jobs in the retail world.
I feel I'm making strides and getting somewhere though. I don't feel I'm spinning my wheels so much anymore. I have a court date, a car, and an acceptance into WCCC for the program I want. It's actually a lot for someone who's only been separated for 41 days! It feels so much longer!
My lawyer also advised me to not speak directly to Michael anymore. I'm fine with that. I can text him when I need to discuss anything.
I'm tired today...but I feel pretty good anyway.
Steps are being made. There is something to show for all of my work now. I am ready to move on. Just gotta know where, when, and my job situation. It will come in time. Hell, all I've got is time.

I think it's wise to have a court hearing. The only reason he wants to avoid that is because no judge anywhere is gonna cut him any slack. Keep the hearing and take him for all he's worth!
I agree with Kim about the hearing. He has an idea of what's going to happen and that's why he tried to "cut a deal" with you - one that he, unfortunately, probably never had any intention of honoring. I've worked on many divorce cases and, VERY, EXTREMELY rarely, does the "trying to work it out by yourselves" thing work. Stick to the hearing. Let the judge handle it - then you don't have to stress on whether or not Mr. P. will do what he says - cause he won't have a choice! Hugs to you :)
