I'll call my lawyer tomorrow and may or not be able to get ahold of him. In the meantime stewing on the fact that by STBX (legal separation date 4/1/22) took the kids out of town and notified me after the fact that she has a house-sitter to care for our cat. First off, it's an outdoor cat, and she does not have "exclusive use of the home" here in CA at this time. how big of a deal is this? I'm off work, living with my parents and could have just stayed there, but she never brought it up. fwiw, she's unemployed, still, I pay mortgage and all the bills / utils.
