Well, the first round of depositions went better than I could have expected. I was nervous, but confident in my ability to answer the questions that were thrown at me. I was able to organize my thoughts and answer decisively. The questions presented to me lasted about five hours. It was gruelling, and I didn't want to be there, but I understand this is an important stage in the divorce proceedings. My ex is fighting for custody, and has prepared a smear campaign against me.

Because my deposition went long, my attorney didn't have a chance to finish her questioning, but the questions she was able to ask gave everyone involved insight on how to proceed further with this case. Basically, my ex lied during the deposition, under oath. He's claiming that I'm a number of things, including obese, a lesbian, bi-polar, addicted to drugs and alcohol, as well as a poor parenting figure. I'm sure I've forgotten something in there, but it's pretty laughable.

He was not adequately coached for his deposition as I was. He not only shared more information than was required in answering a question, but he rambled and tried to validate all of his answers almost proving his warped sense of perception. I'm now eager to find out what else he is going to say in the following portion of his deposition, especially if he is going to continue to condemn himself in this fashion.

We do have psychiatric evaluations pending because of the allegations both of us claim against each other. I'm pretty sure mine is going to be fine — but his is questionable.

Anyone else have experience with psych evaluations?
