Thanks, Rick. I have put the legal matters in the hands of my L. When my W raises legal issues at home I say the same thing every time, the Ls can work that out. I will fight for as much time as I can get with my kids. What I meant about her getting upset is that I strongly suspect that if she doesn't get what she wants from the temporary arrangments hearing that she will lash out at me. If she does, so be it. I am not willing to concede time with my kids (time that cannot be gotten back) to apease her. If she doesn't like it, we don't have to get a D.

You are right, it is a wierd balance, conducting business with a person you love. That is the D process no matter how much I want it to look like something else.
