Thanks again GB. Good stuff there. One thing though I whole point out. I live in Scotland and we do have different laws here regarding custody and residency. The law is very simple. The court will assume 50/50 custody UNLESS a special case is made. So I'm covered on that one. It's the 2006 family law that WW wasn't aware of until I pointed to it during a mediation session. She clearly still doesn't understand what it really means. And as for residency. I have every right to live in that house. Neither her nor her L can make me leave and if it were to go to court she would need to make a really good case. My L is already all over this.

One point he makes is Ww needs to travel for work. Usually a couple of times a year and for at least a week at a time. So he's pitching that S9 residency is with me but 50/50 split unless she travels then he stays with me.

She also made a point about the bills currently being split and I leave for rented accommodation the bills stop (you don't get alimony in a 50/50 split). I've countered that she can do this and transfer all the bills to me instead.
