I could be wrong but I think the deposition caught him off guard and now he's spooked. He assumed everyone would just believe him and doesn't realize I'm not the same person I was when he left. My attorney totally set him up and under oath he'd be caught in a lie so he had to get out of it.
Hi kas99, lots of mind-reading. This reminds me of when you'd alternately project your XH was either very happy or very sad with his new life. Just calling it out. I hope you are right and the flurry of activity indicates you're close to settling! Fingers crossed.
