Ah, well... stbx responds to almost everything I do in one way or another.
He is SO focused on getting what he wants out of me (money).
We have had 2 sessions of mediation in the last month or so. Mediator got him to start contributing a small amount of money for the kids' upkeep. This has been occurring for the last 3 weeks.
At our last mediation session, we tried to make a next appointment, but there were limited times available prior to Xmas and the mediator was going on leave for 3 weeks in January. I was unable to attend at the few available times in December because of work commitments (I work full-time). Discussed this with stbx and he seemed alright with it.
Then I guess he told OW and the puppet master pulled his strings. I got the following email from him tonight:
"Hi (my name) Further to our conversation regarding the December mediation - I realise that this may be distressing for you. Without a settlement it may not be possible for me to continue to provide the same level of support. I ask you to reconsider your options for mediation. Thanks, stbx name"
Basically, I interpret this as him saying: If you do not agree to go to a mediation session before Xmas in Dec (and to the settlement proposal that involves you giving me half of your house and your superannuation), I will stop paying agreed child support.
