ouch on the sex, thing, but I don't belive him. That is BS.

I don't know anything about your state, but I would set a budget. Even if you end up asking for a percetage, it should be based on financial need. Either way, a budget would be good to have on hand. You always exaggerate your expenses. Ask for more than you actually need. Remenber, the COL will keep going up. Your children will cost more as they get older. Ask for more because he is bound to try to negotiate less.

This is so ugly. I know it's not what you want.

Your H, if he keeps with his pattern will probably drag his feet some more, so take your time on the budget. Then hold onto it until he asks for it again.

As for the mediator... if you want him to do the work, then see what you think of the one he chooses. If you don't like that one, suggest another.
