JSD, Good luck with the mediation tomorrow, if I had any advice about my experience with it, would be to make the lawyer work for you. Sometimes I think they put their own agenda ahead of the couples, all in their client's best interest of course but ends up lining their pockets, not yours or W's. Enjoy the kids, they are truely life's blessings. I'm still shocked that xw didn't even so much ask ask for them, let alone fight for them like I was prepared to do. They are what it's all about. Again, play it cool and remember that tomorrow is just another day and one will follow after that. Let us know how things go, RonJon
