Ep, I'm so glad it worked out this way, that H was reasonable and you could keep it out of court. Everyone thinks court is going to solve everything, but judges are not child-centered and don't even know you or your kid. How can they make an intelligent decision? I'm glad it didn't come down to that.
Do you have a MHP (mental health professional) on your team? Or does Dr. C play that role, too?
I have my first meeting with our MHP tomorrow, and then STBX will see her after that. Our first 5-way is on the 17th. I don't anticipate any child related issues, we've been doing it the same way for 10 months now and works for all of us. My only concern at all is that we've never addressed holidays/birthdays, etc., last year we just did it all together as a family. H showed up early in the morning and we carried on as usual. That won't last forever, I'm sure the duck gave him a good deal of grief over it last year. So we need to make a plan.
