i spoke with my lawyer today and was informed that we do not have to appear in court tomorrow. the msa is almost finished and it just has to be signed and filed before the divorce/custody is finalized. i cannot believe it. he originally filed on 7 april 2007 (!) and now, really, it is almost done. i remember being so worried about 'being divorced' and saying 'i'm divorced' that i didn't actually want it to be true. so much time has passed that i'm COMPLETELY comfortable with the terms (but what'll this blog BE without a villian?). i see a party in my very near future.
