Well, some of you may know i have been battling the ex since late last year for better access to the children.
After calling her bluff and actualy getting a lawyer, we had to go to mediation before it could progress to court.
Appointment one was postphoned by her so she could get better prepared. The session was a total failure with her wanting me to see them less and drive 8 hours over 2 days for visits. (we are 2 hours apart)
Appointment two was postphoned by her because our 13 yr old daughter was sunburnt! It was becoming clear she did not want to participate in the process.
had another mediation yesterday and actually got friday night to sunday arvo and travel pretty much stays the same!
I could have tried to force more issues but another year of my life would have got consumed by court as well as about 30 grand. by the end, there was a pretty good chance the judge would declare that the 17 year old was out of the picture and that he would not rule on a 14 year old girl, so i accepted the outcome.
that means the kids miss 50% of all sunday meetings from now on!
