Gardener! I made this same decision after my mediation wich was court ordered which lasted 4.5 hours and cost $1300! The only thing we got figured out was that I would get the Wii video game. A joke for sure! 2 weeks ago I decided that the risk of going to court (in a pro female system) was too much to risk. So I gave my lawyer the go ahead to start bargaining. I got every other weekend + one over night and one 2.5 hour visitation a week. I also got 1/2 her 401k and 1/2 her pension. I would rather have had my kids 1/2 time but she would not give in. The risk of a judge siding with her was too much for me. Good luck! You will feel much better that you stood up and took charge!
