Looking for parenting time arrangements
My ex-boyfriend and I have a minor disagreement regarding the writing of spring break. According to the court document, the parent 1 will be allowed M-W while the parent 2 will be given Th-Sun. The other holidays pinpoint certain hours. Mothers/Fathers day – 7:00 pm to 7:00 pm,Labour Day Friday 7:00 pm to Labour Day 7 pm Christmas Eve from 12/23/2012 7:00 pm to 12/24/2012 9:00am, Christmas Day from 12/25/2012 9:00 am to 12/26/2012 7 pm.<br />
<br />
This brings us to the timing of questions-dropoff and exchange dates. What time is dropoff on M? When does that visitation end? For Christmas Eve day, the time is 9 – that means that the exchange is 9 Christmas morning. There is a break during spring break (W-Th) as there is nowhere written that parent 1 at time X on Monday and parent 2 at time Y on Wednesday But the order shows that parent 2 begins on Thursday? Does that mean the time (how do we figure out the M/W/Th/Sun time) is until the given day listed for the noncustodial (NCP) and then the custodial (CP) time begins after the NCP time is over? Example with NCP M-W, CP has daughter W or Th? If CP IS M-W then NCP exchange is Th? Since it states Th? (I am in need of assistance in determining the day and time of exchanges). Thank you

How could duress be examined on a mediation agreement under the umbrella of confidentiality that kept attorneys immune from any argument or advice?
Notably, 2 weeks to trial, the judge sought a third mediation which was declined by the opposite party, some time before averring there is no room for discussion. I was informed by my attorneys that position were narrower, indicating that both parties had new legal representatives, the contentious matters were more limited, and this time around there was more information to go by. We are in a good position to attempt at a resolution !<br />
A zoom meeting mediation was arranged but one of my counsel failed to attend the meeting. Is it relevant, maybe not. But when suddenly everything became risky and gambling due to my foreign condition, on a small county at Eastern Texas facing a jury trial maybe it is. It could had been useful to have a second opinion when I could hardly believe what my attorney was telling or supporting me. His final state was; you better take what is offered because I can’t guarantee a fair jury trial in Eastern Texas the agreement is not good but I would advise you to go to trial, just not in Eastern Texas. I made a mistake willing to request for a jury trial, he stated 3 times! Was my action a fair and bona fide negotiation?
