[Sir Kenyth]

UPDATE:

Went to the first mediation today. What a complete waste of time! We didn't even make it into the meeting room! The lawyers put their heads together for about two minutes. The consensus? She want's complete custody turned over to her, nothing less. I said hell no! :1flick:

I asked my lawyer what makes them so sure they'll get custody. He said "They don't". Apparently, buying time is the key. Who knows what they'll try? The next step is that they have to get a custody evaluator to determine if a change in custody is warranted. If they drag it out this month, my son will have to go to summer school here and I won't be able to move. Hell, that's probably half the reason for this. They know I have all my plans set for South Bend. Now, all those plans are worthless. Laporte has crap to offer for summer kids programs. Not to mention, the fact that I'm working in South Bend means that I'll have to arrange for other people to ferry him to them. What a crock!!! I've also got Di chewing my butt because I "let" this happen. I hate to say it, but she's right. If you stomp the non-custodial parent into the ground, they don't have the strength to fight back. Every favor I ever did for her is being thrown back in my face as an act of irresponsibility making me an unsuitable parent. No good deed ever goes unpunished, huh? These are the things in life that jade you. All this hell because I wanted her to pay half of what the guidelines say she should pay for child support instead of the nothing she was. Let me tell you, when I win, she'll pay it all right! And on time too!
