My youngest is going into JK this year. I am relocating back into the same area where I used to live and am within the same school district as my ex now. My son will go to school Mon-Wed and alternate Fridays (that how it is in this school district). I want to watch him on the Tues and Thurs and alternate Fridays instead of putting him into school. Ex is refusing to change schedule with me in any way. My lawyer is telling me the only way to make changes is to have an assessment done. I can't afford an assessment as he has all my money still. The few dollars I can scrape up go to my lawyer to keep her on the money side of things. How do I deal with my access and custody issues without it costing me so much money. Is the assessment the only way to change 1 year status quo? How can joint custody work when 2 people can't even discuss and put important decisions into place. His lawyer hasn't responded to my request to change the access and September is coming up quick. There is alot of material change here for my kids. We are moving areas, their school is changing and the youngest is entering JK. Isn't time with a parent better than day care if it can be done. It will save him money on day care too, but he's very controlling and doesn't want me to have more access to the kids. I'm so frustrated by this. I want to ask if he'd attend mediation (again) but last time he ditched $1000 worth of progress and refused to continue.
