NDY,

A word about your L for a moment before we move on to the kiddo's schedule.

If I were you, I'd tell L the facts of your situation:

-W is having an active A with the OM
-W stormed out of the house ;ast week when you put your foot down on the no OM boundary
-You do not want a D and want to keep the family intact
-Ask him/her to drag out the D for as long as possible
-Your communications with the L are privileged and are not to be shared with anyone
-This is what we call attorney-client privileged communciations

When talking with W about S9, you would want to focus on common goals by using "we, our, us." Language is powerful if used appropriately.

W,

Thank you for reaching out. It is very clear that we both love our S9 and we each want some individual time with our son. I'd like to think that we can come up with a workable schedule that meets everyone's needs.

Here are some ideas here and I'd like to hear your thoughts on this as well. How about the following schedule for next week:

Tues, Wed, Thurs nights with me and then Friday to Sunday with you. (NDY, you can change this part as I am not in your shoes)

When S9 has his time with you, I'll be sure to have his clothes and other items packed ready for your house. Then when it's my turn, then you'll do the same with his clothes and items.

Make sense?

Have a good day.

NDY
