[quote=Anonymous]I think you are making a smart move. But maybe reconsider serving him overseas if you can - that might ultimately be lower drama compared to serving him in front of your daughter or his relatives during the holiday when emotions can run high anyway and he may be stressed from travel. One really key thing here is that he fully understand your intentions. Although you have done your homework and understand what sole legal custody means, he may jump to the conclusion that it means you are trying to shut him out from her life totally. And he will probably react defensively out of shame and denial as well. So the more you can communicate "this changes nothing for your actual relationship - we still want you in our lives" the better. I would even consider consulting with a therapist or divorce mediator about how to do this successfully![/quote]
