Moving Drama

I dragged my butt to the gym today.  It felt good to get all sweaty!  Now I need to do it again tomorrow.

I also had my "meeting" today with my ex.  It went exactly like I thought it would.  He said no.  I asked why.  He said if I take the boys out of state he'll have me arrested and have the boys delivered to him.  He said the only way he'd agree to it was if a judge made him.  It was pretty much all of that over and over again for 20 minutes.  Not very productive.

Then maybe an hour later I got a text from him saying that he'd known this was coming and that he wasn't going to say no until I "talked down" to him.  Not really sure what he means by this.  If thinks me telling him the truth and stating facts is "talking down" then yes, I did.  Otherwise I didn't say anything nasty.

So, tomorrow I need to start researching, try to talk to a lawyer and see if I actually need to start court proceedings.  I'm not looking forward to it.  But there is hope.  I was told that perhaps I won't have to do anything because since we never married, we have no paperwork about custody and whatnot.  So, since there isn't a court order saying I CAN'T take the boys out of state, I can!  And he would have to go to court to file a petition for visitation.

But like I said, I'm going to do my research and try to talk to a lawyer about this. . . I'll let you all know what happens!
