Combine all that with the fact the mother states she signed something she had no idea what it was. Can we say incompetant, poor judgements, instability, etc?
The mediator drew up the papers, was a witness to everything and got both parties to sign to what THEY agreed to in the sessions, right? What exactly did she not realize she was agreeing to?
Unfortunately, I know first hand that what they agree to in mediation doesn't hold water if they back out. Ex did that too. Mediation agreement isn't legally binding until signed off by the judge, I believe.
You could have the atty question the sudden change of heart and why she feels that what she originally agreed to and the children have been accustomed to for the last 5+ months should suddenly be changed.
Have the children had problems? Have the children been doing better/worse, indifferent?
Best interests to the children is to maximize their time spent with both parents. That's the best interest.
