I have been stewing over the situation the whole time, and in addition, the weather has turned stinking hot so I am stewing even more!
H emailed me that he had decided to take D abroad with him from the 31st. That he can't wait a month for my reply. Well, I only got asked about it the first time on Thursday evening...
I have decided not to respond to him directly at all, but to go see a new lawyer on Monday. I don't want to have to deal directly with H at all any more. I want to ask about what can be done regarding H's non payments, and whether giving him D's passport will be just handing him another bargaining tool. Remember last year he grandly told me that although last year he had given me his permission to leave and travel with D (actually, it was only on one visa application form that they required the non travelling parent to also sign an agreement allowing the child to travel), he wouldn't again... My Lord and Master speaks.
You can't reason with a lying, narcissistic bully.
