At least my screen name isn't ChocolateFingers or ChocoFingers!!!
Here are some sample scripts (others can chime in...Puppy?):
W: What's happening with the home appraisal?
CD: W, you know that I have made it very clear that I do not want a divorce. If you want the house to be appraised, you are going have to contact one yourself."
W: What's going on with the meditator?
CD: W, you know that I have made it clear to you that I do not want a divorce. I am seeking legal representation to protect my own finances. Meditator is not high on my list of priorities at this time.
W: I am dropping off D late at 8:30 pm.
CD: W, there is an agreement that D would be dropped off at 6:00 pm. It is disrespectful to both D and me when the agreed drop off time is not adhereed to..it is disruptive to D's routine. Do you agree this is disruptive to D? (pause...wait for W to say "yes"). Good...I want an assurance from you that you will abide and adhere to all agreed drop off/pick up times for D at all times. I will do the same. We will notifiy each other if there is a delay in traffic or there is an actual emergency that prevents the exchange.
Be calm and firm when talking with W. Keep your voice level and even.
