I spoke to mediators assistant and the mediator will call me the morning of the session in advance. I also found out that my W submitted an affidavit of our finances - without consulting me. I have asked my wife to send me a copy.
I will call the L today.
This is very hard for me because I have never been good and monitoring and managing finances. In general, I was avoidant when it came to finances. Add to it that mediation is such an unpleasant task to begin with, and you have the perfect storm for procrastination. I know I need to do this to protect my interests.
I did some reading about shared parenting plans and I have no idea where to start the negotiations. I am considering a 2-2-5 arrangement because that will offer equal time and the most regular time. I will probably ask for a greater share of the holidays and maybe split an additional weekend.
I must admit, that I am so scared of the uncertainty. Terrified actually. I am trying to use my head/intellect, but emotions keep taking over.
