Thank you Theoden.

I had sort of begun working my way through that logic and it is good to see it in writing.

I appreciate your candor, and will follow your advice. I will note that I'm not trying to scare her into coming back... I basically want her to clear up her thinking so that we can work through a reasonable settlement instead of her going crazy every time she receives a piece of paper my lawyer files.

No matter what I do though, it always ends up being turned around and used against me. I told her this morning what I'd settle with custody-wise if her attorney offered it. Haven't heard anything yet - but I'm willing to bet no deal is offered.
