There’s so little to negotiate; some furniture, debt?, the car will be put in his name and he will have to pay on it. Anything else to negotiate?

My mother used to say to me, “I’ll break your fingers off if you dial out”. This was when I was young and called boys, chasing them, ugh. She was only kidding about being violent, just the way she was. But, same idea for you. Tell yourself your fingers should fall off before you dial out again.

Also, no lawyer or judge will look at those texts. Only if they are threatening, police may intervene and Restraining Order. It doesn’t matter in your divorce. Maybe in one with custody issues, it may be used to show a parent’s instability. And, assume he will show those texts to your circle of friends... You’ll lose those friends if you and he draw them in to your issues.
Thanks, @TishaBuv.

He insists on having his lawyer, so that means I have to have one. He's got something up his sleeve.

The car he cannot place in his name - he is bankrupt with bad credit and has no one else who can co-sign for him. I could potentially take his car away once my car lease ends this coming summer. A lawyer advised me of doing so. I don't know yet - I need to get him to agree to pay for my health insurance, unless another stimulus package is passed and I get extra unemployment funds to cover it. Those are the two points for negotiation between the lawyers.

I will stop texting him. It's pointless now and I am only talking to a brick wall who continues to lie to me.

NO texts I sent were threatening. Just anger and rage. I don't think he will share them with our circle unless he is provoked to do so. No one I've told the truth to would tell him, oh she says you were abusive. That's not their style.
