I am confused, did she agree to D and/or mediation? Or have you made a decision to push forward with it? (It's possible I missed something in your sit) One thing I've noticed - I find it interesting she is dragging her feet on mediation.
We agreed 2 months ago on D, and agreed to try mediation.
The process has been slow because we agreed to go to MC2 for recommendations. But MC2 appointments were happening on a roughly monthly cadence.
MC2 provided us some mediator recommendations, one each for custody and financial items. I followed up on his recommendations, got their schedule availability, and she was slow to reply. When she did reply, she said she thought this would be too expensive, so wanted to go to a single mediator (this is news within the last week).
Exercise in mind-reading: She is dragging her feet in mediation.
- Perhaps she doesn't want a D - Perhaps she prefers her current situation (living off my income, in an unaffordably nice home, with >70% custody and in control of the situation). - Perhaps I shouldn't bother reading into it, and do what's best for me.
No MC2 appointments scheduled at the moment, which is okay by me.
If I had 50/50-ish time with the kids, and financially I was not supporting her lifestyle, I would be willing to stand. I'm working on the kid timeshare, but the financial reality is grim and I need to protect myself.
