I do have an attorney. I'm a little concerned that she (my attorney) is not completely signed up for the path I am now on. It took me by surprise, and her, too. My attorney is more of a mediator/collaborative negotiation type of person.
In my original post I wrote:

I don't believe it will be upheld. She had originally asked for a drastic remediation - she didn't want me to see the kids ever again. Taking to new extremes the art of rewriting history, she cast me as a 22-year abuser, and her as the helpless victim standing by all those years.
And I say "originally" because, after I contacted family friends, and after she contacted her attorney, she withdrew the demand that I never see my children again. I am not drawing a causal relationship there, between the communication between me and friends, and her and the attorney, but it may be there. The DVPO sure seems unwise and unwarranted, maybe her attorney is cautioning her to get real. Maybe her friends are. Who knows.
