Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to say congratulations. This place is so amazing.

Ok, to update the custody trial portion of this amazing day. Monday and Tuesday we had a two solid days of custody trial hearings. Today we had closing arguments and heard the Judge's decision, which will be put into written form by my attorney in the next day or so.

I have been given the role of primary custodial parent, with my x having very limited visitation, and based on the criminal (but not charged) actions of my x the Judge set a status hearing for three months out so he can hear MY assessment of how my x is doing with regards to her parenting ability, her ability to cooperate, and also obey his orders. In other words, based on what I have to say, her level of visitation will either go up or down. I will remain the custodial parent regardless.

I sincerely hope, but doubt my x was understanding exactly what the Judge was saying. Time will tell.

I was chatting with J two days ago. I told her that I had a funny feeling that our NOA2 would arrive today. I was equally confident, and so was J , that today would end with me being the primary custodian of my children. She kept asking me "Really? Do you know?" I said I couldn't 'know' but yes, something was just telling me that was what would happen today.

I came home for lunch, to give myself time to think before the closing argument and decision phase of our Custody trial and found the NOA2.

I walked out of the court room with primary custody.

The Abu Dhabi consulate is going to get some very interesting support documentation with regards to my intentions to marry J as the Order issued today will make clear as a bell, no way this man would even joke about getting married again if he was not absolutely confident in the choice of his next spouse.

Today was truly an amazing day, and the only two days I can imagine coming anywhere close to this feeling will be the day I pick J up at the airport, and the day that we marry.

Thanks all for taking the time to either read or congratulate us.

Again, mahal na mahal kita sinta ko J who has stood by me always, and who has been for such a long time someone I have been so close to regardless of geography.

What a day!
