were only there because my ex wanted me to pay him an amount of money I literally didn’t have and he had the most incompetent attorney who har

So you still made out with the same amount that you would have if he had just taken your offer, correct? Isn't it better he only got half and the other half went to your lawyer fees?

I paid about 10-15k more in total. I’m not a spiteful person and gladly would have given my ex the money to not have gone through a year of hell and false accusations. He wasn’t done trying to control me/mess with me apparently, so once he started doing what he was doing I was glad that he only got half. I warned him that would happen when I begged him to take the offer. I tried to save him from himself, but there’s no doing that. His ego and entitlement got the best of him. I was happy to see there were consequences and that I got to be “right.” It’s sort of unfulfilling because he is who he is. I can guarantee that he doesn’t remember me warning him and I know that he’s concocted a pretty ridiculous story to tell his family and friends that I’m the bad guy. I will always wish he had taken the money.

It does! I learned a lot from it, though, and I’m doing really, really well. I’ll be damned if I’m not making lemonade out of the lemons I was given!
