Mom, I'm sorry that you were served and especially at the mall in front of your children. I hope today will be a better day for you.
Unfortunately, what you read in the papers is not "form letter" stuff. It's what your h told the lawyer to write up. If you go back and re-read what he's requested, you'll see that it's not the type of information that comes from a sane person. What person would state not to damage the home? I have to agree w/Mermaid on the fact that this is his avenue to drag things out.
BTW, there's not much room for negotiating w/an mlcer. You will have to stand your ground and do not waffle on anything that you need or want, especially for your children. Your h may come back and promise you the moon, but please, do not buy into that.
