RTl, My .02. Why does your W thinks she has the right to tell you what to buy your D, or make rules for you? Maybe you should finally allow her to see what divorce means. She will not have any say over what you do or how you "parent". She is able to do this now because she knows you want her back. I think it is horrible for your D to have to be with both you and OW at the same event. Your W is only thinking of herself. I think maybe it is time for you to show her what it will be like when the D is final. You should not care about her opinion or discuss anything with her, just live your life as you see fit. By getting a D your W needs to see she gives up all rights to make rules for you. Also, unless you have extremely valuable things , getting stuff appraised is absurd. Someone needs to point out to her she is spending more money fighting than she will ever get. At this point her L probably has dollar signs in his eyes when she calls. I would think unless you are very wealthy, that at this point her L would be advising her to be reasonable and just settle.
