Working on schedule for holiday's. She had them last Thansgiving and Christmas. I want this Thanksgiving and Christmas. Next year she will get them etc...
W now objects to swapping kids every other holiday. I said that's how it's done. And thats what the court will order.
W - Lets just let the mediators handle this and then she hung up on me.
W - calls back a few minutes later "I don't know why you are trying to make this a court issue. I am feeling really frustrated that you are making all of this a court issue.
Me - This is what divorce is - it's a court order. you are suing me for divorce, and the court will finalize the terms. If I violate the terms, I will have to answer the court just as you will. All it is doing is finalizing what we are already doing now.
W - Why can't we just settle this between us and go from there.
Me - Because you are suing me for divorce, it is already in the courts.
W - starts to cry - this is not right. You are making everything about a legal matter when it doesn't have to be.
She just doesn't get it. That is why I hired a lawyer folks.
