LOL, thanks Drew. I was about to send it anyway. I still think we are sharing the same brain, the last few times I've been about to send an email I get one from her literally right before I hit send, lol.
Maybe I'd better put my helmet on before I hit send

I am back! You've been receiving excellent advice here.
So what is your email response to W? Keep in mind that there are TWO emails from her that you haven't responded to so far. One cannot blame her for being impatient in this regard.
You're quite paralyzed with fear regarding your kids. We've been encouraging you to put on your business hat.
You can send that one last email asking for an informal custody schedule to be shared fairly equally. That is how you negotiate. If you are not in agreement with whatever W responses, then instruct your lawyer to fight for access to your kids asap. Not wait a month. D paperwork is separate from getting time with your children.
This isn't like you are cutting in front of someone and you say "excuse me." Custody of your children is something you're willing to FIGHT for and HARD!
I understand that you would like to settle the house quickly. I feel the kids are the first priority and I would like to develop a parenting plan with you as soon as possible so the kids are able to spend equal time with us. Please let me know what you need from me in order to make this happen.
I will be at D6's school to pick her up on Friday
I am going to call my L right now and get her going asap.

Sorry you feel like people are telling you to lawyer up. That was not the purpose of my post. I wanted you to know that you need to protect yourself here. That you need to stop thinking that she has YOUR best interest at heart. As several have said, she has an agenda - YOU need yours.
I don't want to see you loose time with your kids.
I know several men who lost time with the kids. They regret taking the approach they did but they learned from it.
Be careful.

Let us all put on our figurative kevlar helmets and jump into the foxhole with Scorp for solidarity At the same time, let us all pray that the custody/timeshare situation with the children gets resolved amicably and swiftly and in the best interests of the children and family. Amen.
