Thanks for the update TDT. Hopefully better times ahead brother!
Yes, always keep your guard up!Nothing is ever random. It’s possible they could be setting you up. Either via a PI, video or voice recordings, or to bait you into a visible verbal argument or something to then later be used against you. Opposing lawyers will have all sorts of tactics and ideas to tell their clients that the clients will unfortunately buy into sometimes.
Again, I’m the negative in this thread. Not the positive. It is possible they just want to talk and hang out. But when you say it’s random and you are both currently in an ongoing case with lawyers, just remember what Admiral Ackbar said.
My ex randomly asked if I wanted to start doing things 1:1 again like going for a walk or getting lunch. To try to "be friends". After taking a few days to think about it I declined and said I had been trying to be friendly the entire time but didn't think it had been reciprocated so think we should continue doing things together with the kids here and there when we can since the kids seem to enjoy it but I didn't want to go further than that or meet up without the kids for now. I think that was a good boundary to hold given how much of a rollercoaster the last 8months/few years have been. It kinda caught me off guard to be honest but I think I shut down the idea respectfully enough. Onwards and holding pattern to the court date, now in mid October.
