My advice is to talk to your daughter, LW, and see how she feels about what's happening. Be guided by her, a little. Obviously you're the parent, but without asking leading questions get an idea of the wider context. Divorce is difficult for children at the best of times, no matter how amicable. She may benefit from a couple of sessions with a counsellor, just to talk.

I say this because it sounds like she's in a bit of a warzone, and all the adults need to step back, and look at the effect that they're having on her. She is the most important person in all this.

If you can afford a new sports car, you can afford some mediation as well. I know it's hard being the bigger person, but a positive relationship with your child is worth a few bucks, surely?
