What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I have to attend FCS Mediation next week (mandatory in CA). My "X" has filed for full-custody of my two teenage son's 17 1/2 & 15. This came out of the blue. We currently have 50/50 last 8 yrs. When I asked my son's if this was how they felt, they acted bizarre and said "yes". When I asked more questions of why they felt this way, they both could not really give me a reason other than when there in trouble they don't like how I handle it (meaning consequences). Interesting, I got served these papers after I hired an attorney to go after back owed spousal support....nothing to do with the boys. Please give me advice on how I should address the court Mediator. The last time I went 2 yrs ago I was shocked and rattled on how the Mediator questioned both of us. The Mediator even made remarks trying to get us to engage arguements..."I think he still has the hots for you, or maybe you do". It was totally unprofessional (well, as I saw it). Advice appreciated...
