Hello all,
Well I am back at it and this time mostly just to finalize a "new/revised" parenting agreement.
We have been joint custody since day 1 and 50/50 for the past 21 months.
Ex's lawyer has done up the draft.
In it, it states:
1. **** & **** will continue to have joint custody of ****.
2. In the event of a disagreement between the parties, **** will have final decision making authority.
That means my ex.
Is this proper agreement "etiquette"? Why should she get final say? Not sure when this will come up where we disagee on something that is not listed. But should I "fight" this when we meet? Should I propose a third party make the decision?
Note: Later in the agreement it also states that we will make "important decisions about welfare together. Including: education, major non-emergency health care, major recreational activities and religious activities. If the parties cannot agree, **** will have final decision making authority".
Once again, meaning my ex.
SO what's the point in having Joint Custody if she just gets final decision making at the end of it all. Shouldn't a third party decide if we don't agree?
Trust me, she's not a nice "lady", abuses the system like no tomorrow and will do anything to get any penny out of me and loves to have any muscle over me.
Any advice on what to do or say at our 4 way meeting, with lawyers? Or is this the proper way of doing things?
Thanks
