I'm completely numb about it. I'm trying to see the legal/paperwork aspect of it as nothing more than advocating for DS. Deadbeat* is the one who made the decision to walk out on his wife and child because he couldn't handle the responsibility. Helll, he couldn't even handle the responsibility of filing for divorce even though it was his idea.
*I prefer writing it out. It's just so dang fitting. The abbreviation doesn't do the term justice.
Re: Deadbeat was served today
I love that you want to spell it out lol! We take DB as douche bag anyways, so deadbeat is a much more specific term for your X!
I hope everything happens smoothly and easily for you!
