It's sad that in the conversations there is literally no compromise, not even much detail. It's like she's just bullying to make a point of being right, then leaving it vague for any future manoeuvring. I'm offering different things, but the replies are some twisted guilt trip about what is best for the family. I'm going to think carefully on my response, and will post it here. But if there is no compromise, I'll suggest we must do mediation.
Good luck. Mediation will require compromise to be successful. Any good mediator will end the mediation the minute they detect that one side isn't coming to mediate in good faith. If you are as sure as you seem that she won't be open to compromise, why even bother with the mediation?

Foregoing mediation will force her to get a lawyer. Then her lawyer will start letting her no that there is no such thing as "no compromise". Either that or she'll refuse to get her own lawyer and then she will be hosed.
