Lawyers make money when people don’t get along. Judges don’t want to have to set a ruling, they want “agreed orders”. “Agreed orders” save everyone money, except the lawyers.

2. Radio silence with the ex also. She most likely won’t ever see your side, or admit to it.

3. Kids see everything, when they are teenagers, they eventually get thru the chaff.

4. Paying “extra” and doing the right thing, doesn’t always pay dividends.....prepare to be disappointed.

5. Ups and downs, can’t unscramble eggs! Do the best you can, be a good dad. That’s the golden ticket....
