10 Months Later... XW Wants To Talk About Us?

[HPoirot]

As I prefer to negotiate this instead of going to court for custody, I'm thinking I will respond to her email with something like...

"XW. In April I told you I was moving to Florida in June and asked for your support getting S12 into school there for 6th grade. You proposed that he and I stay here for another year to transition and that by necessity I would move down first to meet my company's requirements and to get settled. Then you would bring S12 down to a prepared home and he would start 7th grade then with both our support. You said we could make that a legal agreement. I agreed that a transition year would be a good idea, told my company I would move later in the year, and asked (the condo owner) to stay here longer to support your plan.

Now I am asking for your support to keep to that plan. I will send you the cost effective school alternatives and neighborhoods I have found for your consideration. I am considering only the best options for S12. I am also willing to discuss helping you with travel expenses to visit. Your relationship with S12 is important."

Something like that. Stating what I am doing. Not putting her down. Asking for her involvement. Not being a wet noodle. Good enough?
