Just to echo the comments of others, I've read this thread from your first post, but haven't commented as (fortunately) I've never been in your position, so didn't think I could really add anything useful. However, I wish you the world of luck tomorrow, you absolutely deserve a positive outcome so that you can move forward with certainty. I hope you have a very happy Easter break!0

yet another one who has read every post but never posted myself.
I too hope justice is served and a fair settlement is made. whatever happens though I know you will have a happy ending. you seem a nice guy and you will get a payback from that, whatever the deal on the money is.
I have read the thread and many times thought 'there but for the grace of God go I" I have learnt much, and so I am sure have many others. There is probably a book in this too! Write it up, add some personal/emoyional stuff, get the ex wife and kids to do a chapter and who knows.....
Good luck!0 -

Thank you all so much for those kind words of support, I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me.
I've ironed 3 shirts tonight so I can decide which to go for in the morning?
I'm feeling anxious but looking forward to a conclusion?Regards

Echoing what has been said by so many others... good luck, I hope you get a conclusion that reflects your extraordinary patience and sense of decency and justice, and your unfailing love for your family.0

Group hugs, Jack - and same when you come back.
judi is so right - 'Your kids will see the situation for what it really is at some point (although it may not be tomorrow!)'
