court tomorrow
FH and i will be heading to court tomorrow for the mtg after mediation. we have no idea whats going to go on bc they (FH and BM) didnt finalize...they had the beginning of a plan, except for the CS and then the next day BM said FSS15 was sexually abusing FSD. so FH is no longer agreeing to the terms, and we have no idea what BM is thinking. he left msgs for the mediator every day last wk telling her this and emailed several times and she never responded until friday when she email the propsed plan and said "i know u have questions, but we can go over it tues." wtf!

moments that make it all worth it

when mediation fails
in our case, BM is crazy and we need to be able to have certain restrictions in place for her so we can have a peaceful life in order to see FSD. they agreed on some terms, but the circumstances have changed, ie she accused fiancees son of sexual abuse, so fiancee can no longer agree to the terms they came up w. we dont know whats going on in her head but we figure shes ready to take him to court. the mediator knows about the allegation and was supposed to talk to BM and get back to us and hasnt. we know BM will not agree to the new terms that we need to keep her in check.

neutral 3rd party exchanges
does anyone have experience in this, specifically in missouri? currently they exchange in a neutral location, but that may not be enough. are there places that provide such services, and if so, what is the cost?

my fiancee is currently in the middle of modifying custody for his 2 1/2 yr old daughter he had w a prior girlfriend. he also has 2 teenage sons from his marriage, one lives w us. the modification started bc BM accused me of child abuse, him being neglegent, etc. i have mentioned in other posts some of the stuff she has done...the abuse accusation, several harrassing calls/texts, constantly changing exchange times, bugging him to "babysit", calling at work, confrontations, name calling, etc...so thurs they had mediation.

feeling helpless
so tomorrow is mediation...im so scared about what might happen. ive been sick over this whole mess for so long now and it hopefully will all be over tomorrow but im so afraid of how FH is going to handle the whole thing. im so worried that BM wont agree to what we want...or wont come to an amicable compromise. shes so money hungry & we really cant afford to give her more money. she doesnt care about her kid or she wouldnt have pulled all the crap that she has w/ FH. she has made his/our life so difficult, all bc shes a vindictive bitch.

Mediation
Anyone have experience in the state of MO? This was court ordered bc she alleged abuse, against me naturally. my FH desperately wants to resolve it thru med bc we cannot afford (financially or mentally) court. basically she tried to get full custody, supv visits and more CS. has since dropped it but parenting plan has to be revised thru mediation due to the allegation...basically the courts will not just let it go.

Hi everyone!! Question about CS
Im new to steptalk...i will write all about my story later but i had a quick question and was wondering if anyone could help. My future DH has just been imformed he is losing his job as of next march. If he doesnt get a job immediately, will he still have to pay CS until he gets a new job? He is going to mediation soon & we want to bring this up bc it is likely he will not be able to get a job at his current income level...he is only making as much as he is now bc he has been w the company for several yrs. How does all this affect his future CS payments?
