I just have some experience to show you how to shortcut some legal costs!
And, I have a similar personality type that I had to deal with... It's funny... He fought everything. Lost on everything. Blew up like a damn baby in front of the Judge, etc... He was completely at my mercy at one point... I called him (after only speaking in txt and/or email for over a year), and offered to meet him someplace neutral to hash it out between us, w/out the lawyers.
Can I tell you? We ended up at about the same place that the Judge ruled. DUMB!
I think it was all in the approach. He didn't feel like he was being TOLD or ORDERED to do something. I knew I'd already won, so... I just asked him what he thought was fair in each of the items... Now, whenever I request something, he rarely puts up a fight about anything (except our darn marital home!). He agrees w/almost everything, and... asks me "almost" for permission on a lot of boys things. It's weird.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
