Isn't it amazing how they want you're resources "for the kids" but they don't want you? They want you to pay for their lost time and bad decisions by court order They know how to contact you when they need money to "communicate openly" but refuse to communicate when it comes to initiatives for relationship resolve and healing.
AS: Maybe we should let the kids make the final decisions in all of this. Ask them if they would prefer if mom and dad got back together and stopped fighting and figured out how to be happy together. Ask them if we should give all the family money to lawyers or save it for them for college.
