I agreed to go with the “mediator “ whose wife was a friend of my ex sister in law
He was a conman
My ex sister in law said that he was a very busy international lawyer and that I should be grateful that he agreed to see me.
He was actually a conman
He said he was also a psychologist but he wasn’t
I agreed to sit down and write a rough draft of the divorce decree with him so that my ex would finally agree to go to court
He got a lawyer for both of us who was later disbarred to write the final decree and present it to the judge.
I didn’t pay much attention to the part about shared custody because we all knew the kids would never stay overnight with him because he went to live with his parents.
BUT the judge DID pay close attention to the details saying which part of the week he was supposed to keep them, so he only gave me half of the child support even though they were with me 24/7.
Be careful to read all of the details of your divorce decree and have a good lawyer represent you:
