As - I like what you suggested about giving us pats on the backs. I should have anticipated this reaction from him but honestly I thought he would just ignore me, I am actually surprised he was brave enough to confront me about it. I did say something similar to the working through our disagreements rather than just drawing a line and fighting. He said he would have to call his L and talk to him.
answer: we did do all of our talking face-to-face up to this point. My L and Dr. C met and thought it best that we didn't do that anymore because this process has been very emotional for me and the parenting discussions were intense, emotionally. Plus to save funds it would be best to finish up the financials through email. This is the last piece of our settlement. My L and his L both agreed this would be where the rubber hits the road.
I just got off the phone with my L and he is't sure why this was a surprise since he let his L know exactly how we were going to come up with our numbers. If he didn't tell his client then that is not my problem. They are not unreasonable at all and I would probably get more through litigation but he will spend a heck of a lot more money. We submitted an offer, they can counter offer and then we can negotiate. We won't negotiate against ourselves so let us know what you can do, not what you won't do.
I am not sure if he will bring it up to me again, I will see him tomorrow night. Is there a way I can add the sweetener without starting a fight again?
