Well I would not accept her terms.

My STBX was expecting some outragous things in her initial response and I told her to F-off.

I had my L write up a response to her and she ended up accepting it. All she is doing right now is trying to see how much you will give. DO NOT sit there and take it. Stand your ground and protect your assests. Mostly your kids.

It will most likly go back and forth for a while until you both give in a little and come to an agreement. If you guys can not come to one be prepared for the money it will cost you to go throgh a long drawn out custody hearing. My L told me that depedning on the fight it could cost upwards of 12 grand.

Do not worry about anything but protecting yourself and the kids right now.


I know how you feel with the anger of actually seeing it written down. When I got the letter from the CS agency telling me when our hearing was I flipped and went through the roof. It is all just reality of the sitch setting in right now.

Not meaning that it is over but the reality of things at least ending for awhile and the disbeelief that it is actually going this far.

If you need anything just let me know. I am hear to lend an ear or a few fingers in this case.... ;\)
