It's long, but just read the damn thing.
Cliff notes of back story: We've had ups and downs, been married for 5yrs as of this coming July. She walked out on me two years ago, and like a dumbass, I took her back 4 months later. We have a son, and she has been a stay at home mom since I took her back.
On to current events... We moved back to my hometown, and I had plans of opening my own shop. She has not been happy in a long time, and cannot give a straight answer as to why. I have (like a good husband) done whatever I thought would help make life better and make her happy. I let her stop working to be a stay at home wife, bought her a new car, and have always taken care of everything. She can't make friends; she can't put herself in new social environments. My hometown has a LOT of my family members, and she has always seemed to enjoy being around them. So I thought "a ha!", we can move back home, my son will have a safe place to grow up, lots of family, and my wife can immediately have people to associate with.
She has been talking to her "bff" (that she hates for like 4 months out of every year), and blah blah blah. So we sit down to have a serious talk, with me wanting to work things out. She seemed to be agreeing with what I was saying, then all of a sudden said "Well if I go, I'm taking Logan with me. I will not leave him here." She packed up some stuff to head to her mom's. She took our son (4yrs old) with her, and although it hurt me, I let her because I didn't want us to fight over him right in front of him.
I went the next day and filed for divorce. The only thing I really want is my son. I requested primary custody of my son, and stated that I would not ask for child support, and I would take care of his insurance needs. She could have the vast majority of material things, I don't care.
She files a counter with the following (prepare to get angry)... She wants full custody of him, I pay child support, I pay insurance, I pay Spousal Support!, she gets her choice of any and all belongings, ALL of his personal belongings, ALL of my watches and bullion, more than half of all monies, and the newer of our two cars.
I just don't get it. I wanted to be mature. My main concern is my son's well being and best interest. I am hoping that the judge sees how petty and vindictive she is being with her "counter offer." Thankfully, at least, the judge in this county is known for being pro-daddy.
Needless to say, I am spending whatever I need in order to fight for my son. Conclusion of this story....no more choo choo for me, but hopefully I'll get my son out of everything.
