On the D/Mediation front I think the thing that makes me grin the most is "Amicable" which I have learned means the MLCr gets their way.
Nothing wrong with standing your ground, in my sitch I did not want D, she finally filed as I would most likely never would never have done it. So now that she has .. that's fine ... enter the DB "Im sorry you feel this way D is not want I want". However if this is what she wants there is a price that comes with it, call it reality but it is what it is. Any dollar I leave on the table in my mind is a dollar I just gave away on my sons behalf. Even if I did not have kids I would be rewarding her, her MLC and the bad behavior that came with it .... Its not bitter, its business at this point.
