Even though all messages on OurFamilyWizard have court visibility, it wrote this day before yesterday:
I don't care how many extra days you take or how willing you are to take custody when I ask, I WILL NEVER RECIPROCATE!! And I don't care how many letters you write or motions you file, I WILL NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH YOU AND NEITHER WILL MY LAWYER!!
I'm sure the judge will be very happy to hear that a case is going to trial because the Petitioner -- the Petitioner, for the gods' sakes, the one who wanted the divorce in the first place -- refused to work towards a settlement.
Oooooo-kay.
It better start thinking clearly, though. Mandatory court hearing at the end of August. No settlement negotiations until then means they don't start in earnest until September, earliest. In one year of lawyering, nothing has been produced; which means it needs to start thinking about the fact that, unless there's something down by the end of December, all the money it paid this year will not be tax-deductible. And since money is what it cares about, maybe that will be a wake-up call -- though I'm doubtful.
