Congratulations! It was a long time ago but back in 1981 the judge granted me sole custody of my two children, a girl, age 12 and a boy, age 10, at the time, in my divorce hearing. I was still living in my house (sleeping on the sofa) and we both got up and drove separately to the court house. My attorney had advised me to remain in my house and be as conciliatory as possible and to not take any action or make any statements that would be confrontational.

I got quite the opposite treatment from my ex-wife with a constant daily barrage of yelling. One Saturday afternoon, three days before my scheduled divorce hearing, my ex started up with the yelling. "You SOB, you still haven't even looked for an apartment and when Tuesday comes, you ass is out of here." I replied that if the judge's ruling goes against you, you're welcome to stick around for a week or two to set up your living arrangement elsewhere. Her reply was, "you talked to my attorney and he told you there was no way in hell that a judge in Cobb County, GA, was going to award child custody to the husband, you're just wasting your GD money."

The court date with the judge came on Tuesday and at the end of the day, the judge's announcement was music to my ears, "the exclusive use of the home and the custody of the minor children is awarded to the husband and the exclusive use of the family car is awarded to the wife," followed by the crack of the judge's gavel. My ex-wife's attorney jumped up out of his seat and yelled to the judge, "but judge, the divorce!" "Oh yes", the judge replied, "divorce granted".

Two months later, the boyfriend she had been seeing behind my back and who she was supposed to marry after the divorce dumped her. Their breakup happened so quickly that I regret that I never got the chance to thank him.

Years later my daughter made the statement, "Pop, you know when you and Mom got divorced, it wasn't so bad. I stayed in the same house, I kept all my same friends, I went to the same school, and life was pretty much unchanged."

Bryanr2, I hope things go well for you and your children as I know your joy. You won indeed.
