Hi, DC, sorry about what is happening now. Your W is wanting to get more than she is entitled to and using emotional blackmail because she knows what YOU want. Be careful, and make sure your L knows what you two agreed to in the first place. You want to be sure the kids are happy and well taken care of; your first priority.
She doesn't like not getting her way, that's why she is being critical of how you are handling it, by saying you treat people like business deals. Well, D is like a business deal. And since she is being unreasonable, it's best to treat it like one, anyway. Like ellay said, don't sign anything you aren't comfortable with, and keep financial talks to email. You have to protect yourself, you know. And why couldn't you ask for custody? Be careful she doesn't sweet talk you into signing it all away. She is being a wolf in sheep's clothing right now, when the negotiations are going on. Not disrespecting your W, but do be careful. Do what is best for you and the kids, and don't bet on what may happen in the future. Reconciliation may happen and it may not. You will just know you gave it your best shot.
