    I agree with the mediator - it's very, very unlikely that the court will switch custody back to you at this point.

    What's your eventual goal?

    We've been living in the same city for 5 years, same school district, same friends etc . He starts high school soon and I want him to have a permanent place. His mother hasn't had a permanent place for the last 5 years.

    Plus she hates me, hasn't paid me a dime in 5 years and is convincing him to hate me too. I just want I guess an order to return to the status quo.

    The problem is that now, the status quo is that he lives with mom. Therefore living with you is no longer status quo. That is why its unlikely that he will be returned to your primary custody.

    How long does it take a establish a status quo? And they'll disregard my 5 years only after a few months?

    Wow that is horrible.

    The "how long has it been" question is extremely important. Since the beginning of the school year? That's 6 or 7 months. You should have done something before now.

    And I'm confused why you didn't go get him in the first place?

    If I thought he'd come with me I would've picked him up. But he'll do whatever she wants at this point. He not under any threat of violence.

    Again I didn't think it would last so I waited longer than I should have it looks like. She took him in aug I filed in november.

    Thanks this helps.

    In addition , she's asking for me to have child every other weekend and is asking for child support.

    Whats the odds I'll get less than 50% if she retains custody?

    What does your current order actually say about how much time each of you are supposed to have? Are you following it?
