Mediation is the way to go. Sometimes it takes an unbiased 3rd person to clarify the sitch. My ex and I went round and round about custody, but once an impartial 3rd party told her this was no slam dunk for her, reality hit her and had an agreement in days. Sometimes a couple can negotiate effectively, but that's usually not the case because emotions are running high. Save yourself the emotional torture.
