I've got the settlement agreement written by my attorney and have a question. This has to be an offer because I can't see him agreeing to some of this.

I've been NC for 2 years. S21 and S19 live with me. D16 lives with him. Under child custody it says "each party will readily confer with one another re: kids" Yeah NO. When we were married he made me the bad guy. The kids would ask him for things and he'd say "your mother said no" when I wasn't even aware of the question. After he left he continued to lie about conversations we never had until D16 caught on. It took 9 months of D16 and I not taking the bait before he stopped.

I'm okay with him making all the decisions for D16 because she tells me more than she tells him. If it were anything major I'd get involved. He disapproves of how I parent D19 (she no longer speaks to him) but if he wanted to continue to control me he shouldn't have left.

I don't think he will push the issue on having conversations with me but I do not like how this is worded and why is this section in italics?
