I don't know what her intent was. She claimed wanting to reconcile at the hearing for the OFP, was upset when I filed D, met with my IC, but refused MC. I am confused! I think at the end of the day it just follows the script, and I am sure I am to blame in her eyes because I filed D.
Don't be fooled by talks of reconciliation. My husband did similar after he received petition to pay child support (i had asked a few times before filing)and then never mentioned it again after i proceeded with court and became really upset with me when I brought it up.
If they really want to, they will make it happen. So do what's in your best interest.
I am so happy that vanilla recognized your wife's use of the legal system as something to be weary of. I think you do have to proceed with caution and try not to get hung up on all the unfairness of what she's doing OR the sentiment of a lost love...It's a waste of energy and won't help you at this point. Maybe save it for later because right now you need to be smart about things. Getting access to your kids and protecting yourself is number 1.
