As some of you know, I had been working on a settlement with my ex since November using the recommendation of the OCL (joint custody with shared access using parallel parenting). On January 6th, my ex presented me with her version of settlement that was dated December 12th, asking for sole custody and a chance in access to very other weekend.
As we are at what seems to be a stand still, I am looking for information on what comes next. This is only the second settlement conference. As my ex and I have not been successful with working out a reasonable settlement on our own, can the judge still order mediation? Should I be preparing for trial?
Does anyone have any good resources in who to start preparation?
Funny thing is, my ex is still expecting that the judge will see things her way and give he sole custody without going to trial. The issues she is arguing is that I refuse to communicate with her, outside of email and I have threatened to have her removed from my property when she came here unannounced to pick up school photographs while our son was still at school and my step-daughter was home alone.
I am at a really lose as to how this will proceed on Monday. Any assistance would be helpful. Really starting to feel the weight of it all today.
