My frank discussion with my lawyer worked, I got his butt in gear.
My surveillance paid off and I figured out what my WW was planning. My L pre-empted it by sending two emails to resolve it before her L runs off to court. Her L is really bad, she is pumping the billable hours, she wants ME to contribute $12K to her legal fund!

So my L implied that he will ask the judge to sanction her L if she keeps going to file things without giving us a chance to negotiate first. That put an end to it... We worked on a support and custody offer and fired it off today.

My WW lacks self-confidence and knowledge. She thinks just because her L is working around the clock she is "fighting hard" for her. In reality she's just taking money away from both of us and our S11. Very sad.
