There really is no one to help is there?
For the past two years, I've had my son the majority of the schedule. No complaints...he's Dad just couldn't get his son to school on time. Then his Dad left him the car of the parking lot of a casino and my son had to call me to pick him up. I filed for full custody and child support.
The mediator decided 50/50 is the best schedule within less than 30-minutes of the whole meeting to avoid a conflict, of which my ex did all the talking about his poor upset feelings and then (much to the mediator's pleasure) spoke with her about her potato head collection in her office.
Unfortunately, where Iive the court system tends to follow what the mediator recommends.
So now I've negotiated a court rulling that I have full custody with no child support and no tax exemption.
I know, I know...focus on the fact that you son is happy and safe......I will, I will.....

Be nice cheer.
I am happy you have the children. Perhaps you are able to go back into court and ask
for child suppotr.
You might wish to blog this thread.

" potato head collection " must have been a shrine to past mediators?
When my first two kids reached an age to have a say in custody they decide to live with me, my ex was ordered to pay me 5 bucks a week per kid in child support, that was 1/8 per kid of what I had been paying. Hmmm.... She only made a buck less an hour than I did? Fuzzy math?
I never saw a cent in child support from her, but it was priceless not having to deal with her!
I had to play mediator, every time my daughters and their mother were in close proximity! One is now 40, the other 37, and they still can't get along with their mother.

Request a new mediator...conflict of interest maybe. Sounds like he did some flirting to get his way.
