Questioner

I am currently in a mediation process that has been imposed by the judge. During the first conversation, a contact arrangement of 2/3/2/3 was agreed upon. An arrangement that I am not happy with after trying for a month. My daughter comes home, sleeps at home for 2 nights and then leaves again. She currently has no stable base and leads a wandering existence. Although nothing has been signed yet and a contact arrangement still needs to be considered for when she goes to school, I wonder if I can go back on this verbal agreement? I also feel that I gave in too much when this arrangement was made. I certainly want to give her father contact with his daughter, but I also want my daughter to have a stable base somewhere. To be honest, I don't like an arrangement of every other weekend either, because then she doesn't see her father for too long. But I don't like the 2/3/2/3 either, where I unpack her suitcase and pack it again. What is the best way to resolve this with the mediator? Father doesn't want to give in an inch. Are there examples of contact arrangements where the basis lies with one parent, but the child is with the other more often than just one weekend every two weeks?

Lawyer

If you do not feel comfortable with this, you will have to make this clear to the mediator and possibly also to your own lawyer if you already have one in this procedure. If this is not the case, it may be advisable to hire your own lawyer. There are many possible variations in determining a contact arrangement. What is best for your daughter and yourself will of course have to be determined taking into account your position.
