Capt Frank, I was in your boat (emotionally) for almost two years until my divorce was final. I think you need to get on your attorney if he is still under retainer and tell him exactly what you expect from him or get someone new. Sometimes we don't want to rock the boat with the only people we have left in our lives during and after a divorce. You need to and I say this with love, knock this sh** off, get up, get mad and fight for yourself and your relationship with your child. You deserve to have a life as much as your ex does and if you shut down and give up it will be very hard to get back up again and you will in the long run resent the life you have and ultimately damage the relationship with your child because of anger and resentment for your ex. You obviously can't leave the country and I'm sure you, I hope you didn't really mean that, you DO have a young child that needs her/his father. But if you do decide to cash out and leave the country, again I say this with love you deserve everything you will get out of it which is alone and lonely, broke and labeled an abandoner and I know you don't want that for yourself. You can do it, get strong, get out of bed, look for the people that love you for support and ask for help. Enlist each person you know to research items that you are not getting results on from your attorney, such as the fishing equipment you can get a civil stand by if the equipment is in the house you own with your wife unless you are restrained from going there or are restrained from taking the items. You can do this ask for help.
