Ok, we have a date for what my attorney is calling a "4-way conference" which I think is supposed to be very clear statement that it will be VERY expensive since both attys will be present.
STBX wants to talk custody then but I don't. I don't think it's the right forum. Why pay over $900 (combined attorneys fees) per hour to discuss something we will NOT come to an agreement about. I think it's better to go to custody mediation at $150/hour where we can talk more leisurely, feel heard by an independent third party, discuss a detailed parenting plan and many of our unique and extenuating circumstances (hello, brain cancer, thyroid cancer and his on-again-off-again travel/career schedule). Does't that sound more reasonable?
This meeting will be to work out the financial stuff. It hurts that STBX thinks I'm only chasing "his" money but just because he says it doesn't make it true.
Meanwhile our 2014 taxes were just completed. I was all ready to write checks and coordinate him reimbursing me his half, etc when he said he wanted to look them over (dude, they are from 2014, you can't remember a psych apt for D9, how could you possibly remember a minor expense from 2014?). I asked for when he might be able to return them. He said "likely Friday". It's the Tuesday after that Friday and he said he has "a question or two out to the CPA" about them. I asked for another ETA and he said "maybe Thursday" but I could put $100 down on that not happening.
How can I take myself out of the role of mommy when it's something as crucial as PAST TAXES?
