I'm ready to leave..how to file?

I think its finally rolling up in to a tragic ending for my husband and I. My heart is broken, but I can't do this forever. I don't know what to do or how to work through this horribly painful process.
We own a business together...wow, what to do about that?
Legal advice?
How can I get through this?
I don't know if I can take this stress. Personal advice for strength?

What does "best interests of the children" really mean?

I have been pondering this question a lot lately. The courts claim that everything they do is in the child's "best interest", not the mother's or the father's. The courts claim that they are not biased, but I see a different story. Because of the way the contempt and modification hearing went down in May, BM is now convinced that she can do whatever she wants and it's ok. DH emailed her to ask if we can transfer the booster seat that she says she has into his Dad's car if we pick SS up that way.

Talked to husband, but I'm right back to square one.

There are so many complications with my in-laws and they have come to count on our household as being about the most neutral place they have. If I ask SD not to come, it will be seen as an attack on their entire family and me as the villian.

If I put up with her crap I will always be putting up with her crap.

Ug.

I must be out of my mind.....or maybe I'm the only sane one

So, DH finds out that SD13 has posted EXTREMELY inappropriate things on her MySpace page. Mind you, this is the MySpace account that I begged she not get b/c I was afraid of this exact thing (I told him NONE of the kids needs them and he let SS14 have it, so then I felt bad that SD13 didn't get one). AND I told him NOT to let them have the internet in their rooms b/c of this EXACT reason and of course he didn't listen and they have it in their rooms.

question about protection for step parents....

I have heard it said here many times that step parents have no rights. I know for the most part that is tue, and it blows, but... I have also heard that BM cannot restrict her child from spending time with her ex's new wife.

We are not married yet but will be before the end of this year (possibly this month). I've looked online and cannot find ANY information about this... Can BM make it so that I cannot see her daughter once she is my step child? Is there ANYTHING I can do to protect this from happening? Anything her father can do?
thanks for any info and advice.....

unbelievablly insane. I need some answers, PLEASE?

Hi all, I'm back. Its been a while and lately I've been reading more than posting. Not because things haven't been crazy, oh, indeed they have. Just because I can hardly get the words down on paper (real or imaginary).

I've been trying very hard to focus on me a little more, what with being sick and all. But this week I feel overwhelmed and need to vent. I am ALSO hoping there is someone out there who has dealt with a Property Settlment Agreement and a crazy BM who might be able to let me know what I am in for.

Now for the venting...
