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!
