I'd be recording what S reports by date. Memory isn't the same, and you don't know what H will do in D proceedings. Hopefully, it will be unnecessary, but better safe than sorry.

Have you considered mediation? If he wants D & separating your lives more fully, tell him that you aren't wanting a divorce, but if that is where he wants to go, you'd prefer to go through mediation to keep it as cooperative and non-conflictual as possible. If for no other reason that it will be better for the kids if their parents are getting along at the end of this.

Then find a mediator with a therapy background rather than a lawyer. You want someone who is attentive to the emotional side of things and can take opportunities to improve the relationship when they come along, rather than just settling the D quickly and less oppositionally.
