I agree with everything Ian mentions. You cant compromise on any of those points.

my L tells me that HER L tells her that she plans to quit working and go to school full time
I heard this with my brothers wife when he was going through a divorce and with mine too. Neither ever went to school. It is a ploy so they can get alimony for re-training.

It is clear that we, as men, get shafted when it comes to parenting time.
Yes, it does happen, but dont think about that now. You have to have optimism that you are going to get fair custody time. I did not get shafted custody wise (a little shaft on the financial end), and remember, I was the one to file just like you.
Based upon their crappy offer, I think you are headed to court to have this thing settled. I am sorry that this is dragging on so long for you.
