How is that helping you bring you closer to the goal of co-parenting with W in a peaceful way? It sounds like you're assuming here with "ending up less than" full custody. From where I'm sitting, what your L is sending to W is setting up for an acrimonious dogfight with her. Is that what you want out of this process?
I would urge you to revisit your approach here. What DO you really want?
You cannot force someone to move back in your Province. However, you DO have something to say about sharing custody with the kids and the financial settlement. Focus on this.
