Good Afternoon/Morning Raven, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I have arrived in Germany on January 23rd. My schedule is packed from 6am to as late as 6 or 7pm, and I work half a day on Saturdays, so please understand if my responses are delayed—I’m not ignoring anyone. My only downtime is on Sundays. A month has passed, and it seems there has been little pro...
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for your recent correspondence and for providing us with a clearer picture of your new life in Germany. We have taken careful note of the grueling pace of your current professional commitments and the significant time difference that now separates us. To ensure that our partnership remains seamless despite these geographical hurdles, we are tailoring our communication strategy to fit the narrow windows of your availability. Whether through detailed emails, concise text updates, or voicemails left for you to review at your convenience, we will ensure you are kept informed without adding further strain to your demanding schedule.
We want to sincerely acknowledge the profound frustration you are feeling. The timeline speaks for itself: since your move on January 23rd, the progress has not matched the magnitude of the life changes you’ve undergone. It is disheartening to see the calendar turn while the resolution remains out of reach. We have thoroughly reviewed the information provided in Janet’s email and are weaving those critical details into our strategic framework. It is evident that you have gone above and beyond to settle this matter, extending an olive branch by offering to accept a mere fifty percent of what is rightfully yours. Kevin’s failure to meet you even at that halfway point is, quite frankly, an exhausting display of intransigence. We recognize that being forced to revisit these same battlegrounds repeatedly feels like running a race where the finish line keeps being moved.
Regarding your concerns about the costs associated with the opposing party’s requests, we understand how disheartening it feels to pay for maneuvers initiated by the other side. Please view these charges not as a passive expense, but as the essential labor required to build a defensive wall. Each filing from the opposition demands a rigorous legal analysis and a precise response to ensure your position is never compromised. That being said, we are acutely aware of the financial weight this process places on your shoulders and your very reasonable desire to see a swift, definitive conclusion.
The era of circular negotiations has come to an end; we agree that it is time to pivot. We are now preparing to elevate this matter to the Judge, seeking a finality that only a court order can provide. Our team is dedicated to acting as your steadfast advocate, ensuring that your willingness to compromise is viewed by the court as a testament to your good faith, and that your rights are vigorously protected. We will reach out shortly to collect any final fragments of documentation needed to sharpen our presentation before the court.
We formally confirm receipt of your $150 payment and the $2,500 currently held in our trust account. We have clearly marked your expectation that these funds represent the final financial contribution toward this matter. We view this as a boundary we must respect as we push toward the finish line.
Please, never feel the need to apologize for your tone. The exhaustion you are experiencing is a natural response to a marathon that should have ended miles ago. Your transparency allows us to better understand the stakes, and your continued trust is something we do not take lightly. We are committed to transforming that trust into tangible results, moving this case out of the realm of stalemate and into a final, binding resolution.
Best regards,
Raven
To that end, our immediate objective is the preparation of a comprehensive Request for Orders, which will serve as the primary vehicle to bring your case directly before the bench. This filing will painstakingly document the history of these negotiations, underscoring the stark contrast between your consistent, documented efforts to find a reasonable middle ground and the opposing party’s pattern of tactical evasion. By transitioning from a posture of reactive negotiation to one of proactive litigation, we are reclaiming the legal initiative and placing the burden of justification squarely back on Kevin. We will be finalizing these drafts during our business hours—which we recognize are your late-night hours—to ensure that you wake each morning to tangible progress in your inbox. This shift in momentum is designed not only to achieve a favorable legal outcome but to provide you with the psychological closure necessary to fully embrace your future in Germany, finally severed from the weight of this unresolved past.
