I have had my settlement conference, it was myself (unrepresented) and his lawyer (he was a no show, which apparently there is no consequence for even though it is mandatory). The judge still ran through our outstanding issues and gave "recommendations". I have had sole custody for 3 yrs (since separation) and the OCL recommended sole custody. The judge today said that she doesn't "like" sole custody and that she read through the OLC report and the OCL often makes that recommendation but that if we took that fight to trial the trial judge would not be happy and she really pushed toward settling for joint custody (even though we are completely unable to communicate) she mentioned a communication book.
what are the issues that can arise out of suddenly going from sole to joint custody as far as now he would be able to say left to my right just because he can. If I tried to push for joint with final decision making would that make me unreasonable? I always tell him about anything important that comes up and have always included him in important medical appts, he has access to the children's schooling information.
I guess what I'm trying to find out is exactly what is the difference between having sole custody and joint?
