You and your wife should try to do as much dividing the small stuff without the lawyers getting involved.
My wife took the handguns and substantial jewelry I had given her during the marriage. I kept the home furnishings. We did not try to itemize or estimate value of these items.
Your email and your wifes response is good. It seems you both have differing opinion on DD's school. Sadly, the L's may compromise on something else in exchange for either of your choices. It is kind of a shell game. And the L's are removed emotionally from it. But it is far better than letting it go to court.
I remember the dreading of "what next" in communication from my angry wife. Eventually, I got to the point of dictating things on my terms and not caring what she was going to throw at me next. Being detached and standing up for myself allowed me to get over the emotional aspect of the divorce pretty quick.
Bobbi Jo - Try a 180 the next time he does his pity party/blame BBJ game. Simply say something short like "Your full of sh!t! This conversation is over with." and then walk away or hangup. Then when it happens again, repeat the same.
You dont need to express detail to him anymore. You waste your breath and words on the man. He needs some hard cold BBJ when he is an azzhole.
