Update: I was blackmailed. Wife is pushing to get my counter proposal on divorce. When I said I preferred mediation, she threatened to not come spend Christmas with the kids. At the same time, her sibling threatens to remove my belongings if I do not try to resolve this now. I had to cave because my kids were looking forward to seeing my wife and I could not afford to have my things outside in the elements for days. It is time to move out.
