My daughter is active in church, soccer and girl scouts. I won't agree to 3 weekends, those are the our days together. As for transporting he would pick her up after work and take her to school supposedly, but it keeps changing. I am also trying to work up "extra costs" to add to support such as school uniforms and her activities, any suggestions on that?

Just ask for it. It is not going to be added onto child support, though. They only add-on childcare and health insurance (or credit if he is the one providing it) to the child support. This would be in addition to and he would pay separately. If you have been divorced for a while now, how was it handled before?
It's also not as enforced as child support is.

I see from your prior posts that you live in CA . A lot will depend on the type of mediation and the county you live in , in some instances , mediation is confidential and is inadmissable in court , in others , the mediator may make a recommendation to the judge as to the final parenting plan . Without a lawyer you are at a disadvantage . Always negotiate . Why not " split the difference " and allow visitation the way he wants in odd months and std. visitation in even months ? Summers could be split equally .

Was it in the court order that you split those costs? Or was it something that he just did on his own?
