Journal Entry for August 13, 2007 Mood
Monday, August 13, 2007

Cool! Just got back from mediator - things went GREAT! This guy is exactly what we needed.  My stbx only got emotionally animated twice so that is a record for her I think.  This person is going to actually mediate all aspects of our settlement - not just custody but financial as well.  He then turns over what we hammer out to our respective lawyers who draft the language and we sign and go.  This collaborative process can work and should stand to save a lot of $/time/headache...

SOOOOOOO, it was a great 3-way meeting and my co-parenting desires are on the table.  We have our homework to do and we re-convene in a few weeks to see how far we've come.

No worry or trepidation here - this is definitely the best thing to do for all parties involved.

Cheers to all-

W

    I'm so glad that everything seems to be going well for you... your mediation, your time with the kids. I love it when someone in the community is doing well... it gives me hope for myself! =) It's good that you're being proactive by vocalizing what you want in the ways of custody. Yay! .... and Hooray! =)
