Re: mediation

I have never heard of a judge ordering that you mediate contempt. Maybe mediating changes in the visitation rules, but not contempt. Contact a lawyer who practices family law in that court and knows the judge's tendencies.

I think making a parent who interferes with the visitation foot part of the bill is reasonable.
