[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is anyone suggesting to you that you have an obligation to make his house more welcoming for your kids so that they want to go there? Is your ex saying this or implying it in some way? Have your kids brought it up? Are family or friends making passive aggressive comments about it?

If so, I get why you might be feeling this pressure, especially if your relationship with him was abusive in any way.

But everyone in the thread, and your lawyer, is correct. Not only does this obligation not exist, but you NEED to stay out of it. If he does nothing to make his house a home for your kids, then he will reap the consequences of that. Your job is to focus on yourself and your kids, make your home what it needs to be to help them through this process, listen to your lawyer, and get your own ducks in a row.

And if anyone is suggesting to you that you owe this to him, distance yourself from that person (unless it's your kids, in which case their confusion is understandable and you should gently explain to them why you cannot help with this even though it is undoubtedly hard for them). This is not a reasonable ask, if it is indeed an ask anyone is making.[/quote]

Yes, his attorney sent my attorney an email earlier this month saying I was being hostile and uncooperative. [/quote]

Did the email say you were being hostile and uncooperative because you wouldn’t set up the kids rooms at his house???

No, like the Pp above experienced, it was just a general statement in response to nothing specific as far as I can tell. It may have been triggered by me asking for my extra car key back. I bought the car before we were married and the title is in my name; I gave him his extra car key.[/quote]
