and if you need to vent...I'll be here to listen.

My divorce was finalized Sept 17, child custody and all items were worked out by both of us and it's a good divorce. Child support and other (alimony) monies have been forth coming since then. However, getting my settlement has been another matter...not due to my ex but all the paperwork and signing off by his company, judge, company, forward to the account manger, etc. Hopefully it will be settled by next week. Keeping my finger crossed.
