KDog,

I am now so jacked up with MountainDew that I can't sleep at the moment! All before a 2-day long training session. Not smart of me.

To answer your question about FIL's email, I'd ignore it. It doesn't require a response. He does not get to interfere with the legal stuff between you and W. If he really, really wants to talk with you or whatever, he'll do it by email or some other channel. What I think is happening here is that W is apparently unhappy with the way things are proceeding and b!tched to her father. In other words, sic'd him on you. Not cool.

Now on to the D stuff. Has your L responded to W's L on the proposed settlement?
