Really, I doubt anything you do or say would change the outcome of this. Generally, it's a formula, and there's not a lot of variance. I'd let the attorneys do their job.

That said, I think you need to get in the mindset of doing what is best for you and the kids without being vindictive or trying to punish your H. I certainly hear some of that in your words.
