Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Thinker]

Thanks TRB,

Now I was thinking, for the shock factor to have the most effect would it be better to go right in and file no bs, no talking, just file?

I am thinking that if you walk her through it step by step like you are doing there will be no shock factor at all and she will go with it. seem’s like you are making it easy for her.

We've agreed that neither of us is going to "file" - we are going the mediation path - cheaper, better for the future coparenting R, etc. So I am not going to file and drop it on her.

I Agree, however, that scheduling a mediation appointment doesn't have the same ring of "I have decided" finality that filing does.
