Anyone been there & done that?
My husband and I are considering going to mediation to get a parenting plan in place as his ex is an extremely high conflict personality, engages in parental alienation etc etc, and there’s currently no legal documents in place - they were never married so obvs there was no divorce.
I’d be really grateful for anyone taking the time to share their experiences of mediation here. Was it useful? Worth the money? Did you get the results you wanted?
Only the 2 parents are allowed to be present. BM was being stubborn and so he came away with an agreement that she put forward as she refused to budge and allow SS to live equally between both of his homes. I don't mean to dishearten you but don't expect much joy from mediation. Nearly 5 years on and she still refuses to allow SS to live equally between both of his homes for no reason other than she's "not happy with that."
I wish you every success! I know how hard this is. Be kind to yourselves and just keep fighting, supporting your child and being there for them in every way that you can. One day they will grow to see what transpired and know the unconditional love and support you provided all whilst dealing with the negativity from BM.
