I emailed my attorney and asked her to contact W's attorney and request no further inquiries/emails from W's family.
My lawyer also was following up on where we stand with my counter offer. That was Wednesday, still waiting to hear. We never did set a mediation date or a court date though, we only kicked around dates.
