Scorp, for what it's worth, I echo what Eric and Mach have said. It does seem like you are stalling and, having had to go to war with my first H over my kids, know what a bruising battle this is likely to be for you and her and your kids. But, if you don't act, you will likely have lost your kids without a single shot having been fired, so to speak. Do you really want your kids to look back at you like folks look at how quickly France fell to Germany in WWII? Not a pretty picture. If you are just going to let her win and only pretend to fight, save the money and the stress and the heartache and just give up your kids because that is what you are basically doing now, only more slowly.
