[quote=Anonymous]Glad things got resolved for you, OP.

Honestly, I like to avoid the courts as much as possible.  We went to court when my daughter was 1 to get things ironed out and get custody/visitation/support established- we were amicable and would have avoided it altogether except that my disorganized (but nice) ex missed the deadlines to file without court.  (and his lawyer didn't even show up to court, so we both ended up using mine.)  I made him pay for the legal fees for that one - his disorganization cost me about $3K on top of the $2K the out-of-court filing would have.  We've avoided it since then - we tinker with our agreement as necessary, treat each other with courtesy, talk about stuff as it comes up and we both swallow our issues for the greater good sometimes.

Seriously, lawyers and court fees are EXPENSIVE.  I know a woman who is $20K in debt (she is pretty low income so it's a big deal) because she and her ex got in an extended battle over their child, and ended up with 50/50 custody anyway.

good luck!![/quote]
