Stbx is threatening just that.
I am divorcing him, for unreasonable behaviour. Because that is the quickest way, and also, because he is a controlling, emotionally manipulative arsehole. The reasons I put were mild, to say the least, and worded as amicably as possible. They are factual.
He is disputing them, and has threatened to defend the petition if I don’t amend the wording (to show him in a more favourable light, although he is arguing over semantics).
Surely any such defence is just a waste of money?
I haven’t argued over anything financial as yet (though this is still not settled), and am prepared to agree a reasonable contact shedule for the dc (and he knows this - I proposed the more than reasonable schedule). He has been delaying proceedings as much as possible - he is refusing to move out until everything g is done and dusted, and so it is difficult to see this as anything other than more attempts to control and bully me into doing what he wants.
Does it actually mean anything, ultimately?
