My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Illinois
My ex is refusing mediation, even was kind enough to put his refusal and request that I take on mediation expenses on my own. I am now pro se.
Our divorce decree and multiple ensuing orders state very clearly that mediation is the next step if we can't come to an agreement. I tried the "let's talk about the upcoming school year re: Kid X's new and highly structured IEP for ADHD" and he said no, the week to week schedule is working just fine for him, and changing parenting was not an option for him. That was in OFW email as well.
I can't talk to him on the phone (he has a hissy fit), can't text him (same thing, hissy) and any time I have to be in his presence he acts as if I do not exist. I know this is about control issues - this person made 4X what I did last year but also refused to increase child support voluntarily.
Since I can only take a morning off to handle all these issues, how and in what order do I do so? I have to file a petition to increase child support, and yes, I am going to ask for a deviation from the standard 28% that Illinois uses, and yes, I am going to file a complaint about his refusal to mediate. Do I stick with mediation or does the request for changing parenting time go straight to the judge?
As always, I truly appreciate everyone's help.
Many thanks
