See -this is where I go back to. No judge is going to admit that they allowed an agreement to go through with only one years visitation and then he gets nothing without mediation. I know that they did, but my guess is that you will be the villain for denying visitation AND not doing mediation.

I am burnt on the courts doing the right thing, but that is the only piece here where I think you could get caught up. I would suggest putting a letter on file with the FOC requesting mediation. Send it snail mail so it is in writing. I am guessing that they won't get it scheduled until months from now. I am also guessing that he will miss one or two dates because of the distance.

But at least you did something. The court hates when you don't use mediation for this type of thing before going to them. You know it will be useless, but you have to go through the motions. aT the very least, it is one more person that sees how unreasonable he is. It also gives you a feel for how people are going to react to the evidence you have.

Ask for shuttle mediation (not in the same room) so that the emotions don't get out of control.
