My ex and I went to mediation Tuesday to discuss parenting time with our 3 children. The magistrate referred us to mediation because he wanted to maintain parenting time as is (p/u Wednesday @ 7p, d/o Thursday @ 7p, p/u Saturday @ 7p, and d/o Sunday 7p). I am disputing this because I want to have the children every other weekend so that we can have some quality family time. Since I work Monday - Friday, I never get a full day and night with my children. When we got to mediation, he floored me, the first thing he said is that he wants 50% parenting time. My jaw dropped and I couldn't find myself to say anything in my defense. The schedule he suggested was ludicrous, basically, he would have the kids 4 nights/week, 3 weekends out of 4, and he would never be responsible for child care, transporting to and from school (2 different school districts), and he would never have them more than 2 consecutive nights. There are so many things wrong with this scenario!
