Thank you for the great advice, bdub! I am avoiding meeting with my H in person, and trying to conduct most communication with him through email. However, last night I could tell he was getting defensive/afraid about my move and the idea of D14 coming with me for school. When he is defensive he lashes out and is angry and nasty, so I wanted to calm him down and realize that I am not trying to threaten him, I am just trying to figure out what's in D14's best interest. My H also lies about so much these days, it's difficult to trust. Luckily, at this point I really don't care how much it costs, I just want out. And quickly. If he starts dragging his feet with the dissolution, I'll just convert it to divorce to get the ball rolling. I've been super patient and compassionate these past seven months, but now I have to move on.
Please keep me posted on how you're doing with the dissolution process. By "sessions" do you mean mediation negotiations with the lawyers or just conversations between the two of you?
