Just got an e-mail from W. She is upset because I told the kids they might be at my house on Thursday, but I wasn't sure. Our temporary court order gives me the kids on Wed nights and every other Fri, Sat and Sun nights.
When we went to mediation, the mediator told us that if we could come to an agreement, we should start it right away before/when school started so the kids wouldn't have to change again in the middle of the year.
We have agreed to the following schedule:
Mom: Sun night, Mon, Tue Dad: Wed, Thur Alternate: Fri, Sat, Sun day
I told her that based on the mediator's recommendation, I would like to start this schedule now. She responded that she would "prefer to leave the child placement as is stated in the court order." And that she "was under the assumption we are still following the court order, which is for Wednesday and every other weekend, Fri, Sat, Sunday, until that is changed in court, which may occur at the mediation hearing on [Oct] 12th.
I asked her what the reason is to wait, but have not heard back. IMO, the only reason she doesn't want to change now is because the support payments will drop, substantially.
I have a meeting with my L tomorrow and will go over all of this with her. I am pretty sure she will file a motion with the court to adjust the schedule.
