My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Washington
My exH is asking for mediation and has made a proposed parenting plan. Now the background: We have a parenting plan that was created as part of our divorce and he has exercised his visitation once in the past 18 months, by his choice. He moved out of state *actually from state to state, not even telling me where he was or for how long* and never visited or asked for a different plan to suit the situation (of him being out of state).
NOW he is back in state and is asking for a modification to the parenting plan. I don't understand the grounds for this. Not just based on the fact that he hasn't even been using the time that he HAD avaliable to him and is now asking for more time, but the fact that we have a standing local parenting plan that is just fine that a judge issued years ago.
Am I looking bad if I don't agree to go to mediation? Does he have grounds to even ask for a change to the plan (ask for MORE time!)? I don't even really understand why this is even an option for him to be asking such a thing...
HELP!
