Had my first mediation session today with ex. Current visitation is around his shift pattern. He does school pick up on 2 out of 3 Wednesdays, unable to do third because of work, come September I am unable to do school pick up on any Wednesdays, which is only a problem this one in three. I am able to pick up at 4.30 from after school club, but school have said will need to pay for slot all term, can’t be done on a rolling basis. I’ve mentioned in mediation today (which he wouldn’t do a meeting with me, only through a mediator going back and forth) thinking he should pay half to this after school fee as neither of us is able to do pick up. Mediator told me this is what child maintenance is for so no point asking him. I said I wouldn’t mind paying if it was like it is now and I’m unable to pick up on one of my days so pay for asc, but don’t see why I should have to pay when neither of us can. To be told she won’t be putting that to him. What’s the point of going through this 🙄 just venting frustrations, not entirely sure where to go from here.
