Thank you very much. :-) Yeah, the big thing for me was that I don't want my son to grow up with his parents hating each other. Trust me, I definitely want her out of my hair, but I'm sure that after awhile things will get much easier between us.

$500 in attorney's fees on my end. My attorney reviewed the decree, we carefully made sure there were no disadvantageous ambiguities, bounced back and forth with her attorney a few times over a few revisions, and it was done.

I am sure there are many marriages held together by fear of drama. (especially expensive drama)

I agree. We privately discussed all the nitty gritty about possessions, assets, etc. Then we wrote up our agreement, gave it to the lawyers, and had it written into the decree. However, this was something I had been putting off for a few years, mainly because I was really dreading the reality of not having my son living with me, and being the visiting parent, even though we're both Joint Managing Conservators. In Texas, unless Mom is a complete psychopath (which my ex is not), Mom is always the primary caregiver of a child of my sons age (2.5).
