New from Lisa at `2026-03-13 14:27 CT`:

- She thanks you for acknowledging that she’s been trying to make your requests workable, both financially and in communication.
- She says she has no problem pausing the detailed discussion until mediation.
- Before pausing, she wants to be clear on the main open questions she thinks need to be addressed for mediation to be productive, and invites you to share yours.

Her listed open questions are:

- what assumptions you are making about `Social Security` or other future income
- how you are factoring in `Kay’s support`, and whether that number will change
- whether your numbers assume she continues to cover `Juno’s support` fully
- whether your calculations assume current `savings are used to pay debts`, or remain available
- how the `house split` is being factored into your thinking
- whether your proposal assumes her `household expenses` stay roughly where they are now, or change

She adds that she is not asking you to answer all of that now, but wants those questions identified going into mediation.


text: how should we respond?


text:
I’d keep it short and procedural.

Use this:

```text
Thank you. Those all sound like reasonable issues to have on the table for mediation. I’ll keep them in mind, and I’ll come in with my own open questions as well. I agree it makes more sense to handle them there than to keep trying to work through them by text.
```

That does three things:
- acknowledges her list
- doesn’t answer any of it yet
- keeps the lane firmly in mediation
