It's All My Husband's Fault

  As stated in the blog posted just before this one, we had entered into the court order that emails would be acknowledged and answered no later than 48 hours after they had been sent.  The Ex literally violated this less than a month after it was ordered.   Beginning of April, Husband sent a receipt.  The Ex did not reply.  While this is "technically" a second violation of the court order, but Husband wasn't really asking her a question so we're not too concerned with that one.   Two days later, Husband emailed The Ex and asked her about us getting the kids on one of her weekends for a family wedding.  The Ex didn't answer. ( Third violation of the court order )   Husband emailed The Ex on Monday with some paperwork that the school had sent home, asked if she wanted to participate.  Husband also asked if The Ex had insurance through her work yet.  Husband asked The Ex to please let him know, she hadn't been answering his emails an...

  After the court hearing in February, Attorney 4 emailed Our Attorney and said that The Ex was willing to sign a stipulation so we wouldn't have to go back to court over child support.   Attorney 4 also asked for copies of all of the variable expenses so that she could discuss them with The Ex.  Attorney 4 said that The Ex was "concerned" about certain variable expenses:  Son's contacts and the kids' tuition.  Attorney 4 said The Ex had emailed Husband saying she couldn't afford contacts for Son.  Attorney 4 said that school choice was not a joint decision, Husband never asked The Ex to help pay tuition before, and that The Ex "cannot afford to make lump sum payments on tuition."   I emailed back and said that Son's eye prescription had changed and he was not able to use his old glasses - since he was in tackle football, contact lenses made more sense and Son's contacts were cheaper than Daughter's glasses that had been purchased only ...

Husband started emailing The Ex in September 2009, yet The Ex did not send an email to Husband until October 15, 2012.  Husband had emailed her about her son's birthday party; the email had no subject.  The Ex acknowledged this email to a police officer, but didn't immediately reply.  The Ex and Husband talked on the phone about the party; a couple of days later, The Ex and Husband talked on the phone again about her kids' baptisms.  Husband told her that he didn't know if he'd be able to get Son and Daughter to the baptism because of the time it was scheduled at and his work schedule.  After hanging up, The Ex replied to Husband's email and added the subject "Re: Birthday Party/Baptism" "[Husband],  Thanks for bringing [Son] and [Daughter] to [The Ex's son] birthday party.  It meant a lot; not only to me but to [Son] and [Daughter] and the rest of the family. ( Okay, so this is going good so far.  She's being nice )  I...

  2013 started with us still withholding placement, so most of the voicemails were centered around how The Ex had come to pick up the kids and "didn't know why" Husband wasn't letting her have them.  There was some fun about the Christmas party that The Ex's family was having.  The Ex had talked to Husband and told him that the party was at her sister's house.  On Tuesday, Husband emailed The Ex asking for confirmation about everything.  No answer.  On Wednesday, The Ex's sister sent Husband a text asking if the kids were coming to the party; Husband replied that he had emailed The Ex about it the day before.  Husband then sent The Ex a text that said he had emailed her on Tuesday and to please read his email and reply.   Thursday night, The Ex leaves a voicemail at 6:59pm:      "Hello, it’s [The Ex]! Um, I did get your text message. ( He sent the text 25 hours ago asking her to check her email and reply to it; she still had not...
