Mediation didn't go well
Mediation didn't go well
I'm so upset.
My ex refuses to let me leave the state with our son.
California is so expensive. I live with my mom and she wants me to move out but I can't afford anything. My dad offered me to live with him in Arkansas and help me take care of my son.
I was open to coming to vacation and holiday plans for the year to keep him involved as much as possible but he doesn't want to come to an agreement.
Didn't even give legitimate reasons. He's still mad almost 2 year later I left him and is doing this out of spite.
I feel like such a failure, I'm at a loss 😢

He may be doing this because he wants to see his son more often, perhaps? 🙁

Can you both compromise where maybe your son’s time can be divided up more equally with his father?

He doesn't even want him overnight
He only watches him while I work.
If I truly believed he cares about providing the best for his son I wouldn't even attempt the move but he says the only way I can leave the state is to marry him and move all together

It's hard to compromise when rent here is almost as much as my income alone and I can't get multiple jobs with little help in child care and 1 hour+ commuting for work

Take it to the judge. The judge takes the emotion out of it. If it is in the best interest of your child and will provide him with a better life, then a judge won't deny the move.

I know. I'm glad about that
It just means a longer wait for a decision and a lot more money in legal fees which is tough to come up with
