Are you serious?

So ManChild has been completely MIA for almost 3 months. Granted, DD will be 7 months and he has never come around so there's that.
Anyway...he emails me today and asks me to call him. What a shocker. Surprise surprise. I immediately call my atty and ask her what to do. She said its up to me but to ask him about what through email and if he cant email me, to talk to his atty and his atty will talk to mine. So I do, & he tells me he wants to talk about setting this stuff about THE CHILD and if I wont talk to him on the phone it's my choice and have it my way..see what happens...etc.
I feel like im dealing with a 2 year old. It never ends. Ever. Even a totally absent father still makes his rounds and stirs the pot.
I forwarded the emails to my atty and she said she thinks I left it well/in the right. I mean, I have given this douche so many chances to work this shit out. He has had a million chances to see her, send her a card, whatever and he has done nothing. He is the one who wanted to play ball, so here is his game.
I guessed since we are like exactly 2 months away from court, his atty probably called him. Sure enough, my atty pretty much confirmed that. Predictable. His atty is probably asking him for more $$$ and he's starting to realize how fucked he is. My atty sent discovery requests last week, so since that costs his atty $$$$, guarantee that was what it was about. I don't want his reach out to negatively affect me in court, but I cannot be expected to play his game every single time he tries to play it.

Re: Are you serious?
I am NOT looking forward to the shit storm that is bound to ensue once my LO is born. Hopefully the fact that he hasn't contacted me in almost 2 months and hasn't been to a single appointment since May might show the judge he has no interest in this child. Baby is due in November so that will tack on even more lack of communication from him.
As my attorney said, if he was serious about ending this, he'd let his atty know and we'd attempt an end through our attorneys.
