Finalizing response to D petition. Going for joint physical custody. Also decided to file a petition for reconciliation. It may do nothing more than slow the D down a bit ... but if nothing else it will give us a chance to establish better communication in co-parenting our children. Right now, we communicate via text and e-mail. Drop off and pick up of kids is from school, so we don't even have physical contact right now. I've been okay with it since seeing her is painful, but it's not good for the kids.
