So yesterday when Dh was talking to Ss, Bm jumped on the phone and was being extra nice and asked Dh if he wanted to pick Ss up early. Dh agreed and we went last night around 7pm to pick Ss up from the store Bm was at. Dh met up with Bm to get Ss and when he did Bm asked Dh real nice if they could talk and then asked if he could explain to her why he was taking her to court and if they could try to work it out together to avoid not going to court. Dh Said that he told her that he didn't want to go to court but that she isn't willing to compromise on anything. Dh said Bm acted really nice and was like "well, what do you want? Let's try to work it out because I just don't want to go to court." So Dh told her that he could have the lawyer write something up and if she'd agree to it, they wouldn't go to court. Bm said okay and asked what he wanted. Dh told her he wanted her to share the transportation responsibilities-she said fine, he wanted half of the holidays-Bm rolled her eyes but said okay, and Dh said he wanted to take turns claiming Ss every year for taxes. That's when Bm hit the roof. Dh said she got flustered and was like "No, We're going to court. You can't claim him! It's all about money for you. You don't even know his teachers name! It's against the law for you to claim him!" Dh said she also kept stammering "you're not going to get it, you can't, you can't" Dh said after that she kept trying to engage him because he said it seemed like she wanted to argue but Dh just told her "then we will talk about it in court/talk to my lawyer." He said at that point she was very angry and then started telling him that the next time he takes her to court he better let her know because Ss answered the door and supposedly he's traumatized because he seen Bm get served.

I'm proud of Dh though for standing his ground and not engaging with her any further. I thought she was going to get really nasty via text/phone calls but surprisingly she has called/text- nothing-I'm sure because she doesn't want Dh to have any kind of proof of anything she says. She also claimed that she was only asking him what he wanted because she alleges that paperwork she was served with doesn't say what he's motioning for... I don't know how true that is though because I thought that's what they serve you??? I'm thinking she's nervous about going to court and that's why she was being nice and suddenly willing to work with him, but who knows. The tax thing really P'd her off, which I don't even know why she's mad, she's not even working anymore. I'm thinking maybe she's promised her boyfriend that he claim Ss because she doesn't work anymore??? Who knows. These next few weeks/months will be very interesting...
