Currently, I have 1 and 1/2 days with my two children, so I filed a motion with the court to increase my parenting time. The judge sent us to mediation. After talking with the mediator for 2 and a half hours, he sent a report to the court recommending I increase my parenting time to 3 1 /5 days (so about half) with my children. He even ended up calling my ex a drama queen and she needs to stop. As well as using derogatory remarks against me on public forums with her friends, which he included on his report.
Naturally, my ex is not agreeing to this. She thinks I should have hardly anytime with our children because "they are always crying to here about how much they hate it over here" and blah blah blah.
Well I don’t see this. In fact, when I see my kids they run to me with big hugs and smiles. We play games and spend quality time together (which to me, 1 and a half day is just not enough, I love my kids) They don’t seem at all intimidated. Sure, they get in trouble and get restriction and are given healthy food at dinner and not have a over abundance of junk food. They are expected to clean their rooms and help with chores around the house. But heck, what kid wouldn’t complain about that? I did when I was a kid. Are these the things our kids are crying about to their mother when they go back to her house? Are they being quized so she can make remarks about me on puplic forums about how much of a jerk I am? I wonder.
All I want to be is a father and have more time with my kids so that I can be a part of their growng up. I do not go about complaining about my ex on public forums (I do go to counseling to do that)
So my question is, can she actually prevent me from getting my increase even though we have a mediators report? I do everything I am supposed to be doing, I house them, feed them, clothe them, make sure they do weel in school, go to school events, and spend time with them. Her only complaint is what she and the kids talk about me. Which I think she should not be doing because she is not a tir party to this. She has a lot of hostility towards me and of course if the kids bring up one thing, she can repond to them making it ten times worse.
