Hi, [Custodial Dad] and [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].

Thanks for relaying the messages, [spelled incorrectly Step Mother].

The earlier I get a confirmation for [daughter]’s time with [Custodial Dad] today, the better.  I appreciate the prompt attention to my call

[Custodial Dad], as per your request to come to some agreements before tomorrow’s session, I’m glad [spelled incorrectly Step Mother] was able to communicate to you that I would be willing to meet in a public space with Mall security.  Figured we could both be comfortable.

However, we do not have to meet in person.

[Custodial Dad], any form of discussion you would like is fine with me.  Call me.  Email is OK... I am borrowing a computer and I may be able to check in a few hours.

Thank you both.

Kindly,
[The Ex]
([XXX]) [XXX]-4665

Okay, a quick update.  Just spoke with [The Ex] at 11:40 and she stated that she set up a time and paid the fee for you to meet with [daughter] at the [supervision center]  from 4:30 to 6:30 with [visitation site superviser]e.  I did state that I do not speak for you but I didn’t think you would be comfortable being forced to see [daughter] in that center again.  She asked if you could “set something up” for tomorrow.  She also stated that she wanted to meet with you at a mall in [city in other state] to discuss mediation.  Again, I told her that while I do not speak for you but I didn’t think you’d be that comfortable with meeting with her personally.  She stated it was a “open space with tons of security.”  I informed [The Ex] that I believed you wanted to do this via telephone and she should speak with you directly.

Again, she does not have email available today so please call her directly.

[Custodial Dad], 

I just spoke with [The Ex] today at 11 am.  She stated that she will make [daughter] available to visit with you while you are in [other state].  I know you are landing around 12 pm so I told her you should be available for [daughter] around 1 pm.  She also stated that she knew you’d love to see [daughter] “as much as possible” and I informed her that I believe you will need to be at the airport by 5 pm tomorrow.  She mentioned “setting some things up” and I am unsure of what that actually entails.  Please call [The Ex] ASAP so that you can iron out all the details.
