Legal counsel was as follows:
Prior to going to court, I'd need to offer her the chance for us both to go to mediation. If she refused or if that didn't work, we could go to court. Nevertheless, even in a perfect world, a visition hearing wouldn't be possible for at least two months. Refusing to hand over Jophiel Jr would result in me being in contempt of court, so that's not a good Plan A.
However, come September the ex gets two presents in the form of a petition to revisit the visitation agreement and a petition for child support. I didn't seek support originally because I was making the agreement as palatable as possible for her so I could get physical custody with a minimal fight and not risk going before a judge who'd create a less enjoyable settlement. It worked and, now that we've established a history of who has been doing what in Joph Jr's life, the attorney sees no reason why we shouldn't go after the ex for a couple hundred a month and no risk in attempting it.
So stuff is basicly on hold until the autumn and he'll be going down probably this weekend. I have visitation every other weekend which I intend to use as much as possible.
