I'm late in but from what I've been reading your "ex" seems to have had an affair or more to the point many affairs. It’s no slight on you but my guess is it was her guilt that brought about the divorce.

One thing regarding your divorce papers; if it’s still possible put in writing that she can't move more than 50 miles from you. This will keep here from moving across country with your boy.

Part-time fathering sucks period. Quality time isn't planed it just happens, but you'll make the best of the situation, I'm sure.

It’s always the way when one person starts to break away the other tries to hold on tighter and the conflict only intensifies. Once you "turn" and accept it and moved on she will come a knocking. They always come back, but your can never change the stripes on a Zebra. Never take her back.

Look at yourself and learn from your choices in women. I know from experience that some of what broke your marriage up existed before you where married and you saw it. But, like most people in love you become blinded.

Read up on being a divorced dad. There are lots of recourses. Try and get that 50 mile limitation.

To be totally honest, I would look outside the USA for any future bride. American women are a totally different breed of female. I think your be pleasantly surprised by some of the women you can meet in Brazil, Russia, or Asia. They tend to hold more traditional qualities and are educated and independent.
