I just want to add one thing. By the looks of the emails you and your W have exchanged, the lines of communication are open. It looks like she is willing to work with you. Your responses and attitude will determine if this continues. Don't do something that will make her defensive. Encourage this communication. It will help you achieve your goal of more time with your kids.

Good luck.
