Not in-state. I need to find a new one that practices here since we moved. Don't really have the cash to load up another retainer either.

Served with D filing last Tuesday. Handled it much better than I would have 6 months ago which means I'm changing for the better. Still searching for an in-state attorney. W seems unwilling to talk even about settlement terms. It's a hard situation given she's very non-confrontational. Rather than have a hard conversation it's easier to send papers and seemingly avoid the problem. Unfortunately that just makes it costly for everyone.

Sorry to hear that Dmoy. What do you mean "W seems unwilling to talk". Have you spoken with her recently? She doesn't seem like she'd respond well to pressure, but if you've been laying off the pressure then it may be worth a talk with her.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
Almost every day. I have 2 kids and we split custody. I'm grateful that I get to see my kids almost 7 days a week to some extent due to the arrangement. Unfortunately that's about the only time I see W but don't really have an opportunity to talk because the kids are around. Nor am I really afforded the ability to "go dark."
I can tell when she's uncomfortable because she starts getting really short at pickup and dropoff... in a hurry to get the kids and leave to avoid any further conversation.
She sent me a settlement agreement 3 months ago. Never said anything, just got it in the mail from her attorney. She later called and brought it up. I told her what points I disagreed with-- mostly asking for more money that I can give her every month, and asked why she never sat down to discuss with me. She made some excuse about how she wanted to but never had time.
I said I wasn't sure if I could sign it and she said she'd have her attorney edit it. Instead I got served papers 3 months later where she wants even more money.
