yes i know...
in some districts it is mandatory, but in others it is discretionary.
however, i cannot find corresponding statutes or case law that tells me which it is for the first district.
i have a situation where the other parent is pushing us to trial in dual modification, we are very willing to settle leaving everything as is and incorporating a parenting coordinator and we would give up any
child support that is due us... however, the other parent wants custody.
so i want to be sure that if the other parent insists on us spending all this money to end up with exactly the same thing we have (which is what will probably happen with this judge), then i want him to feel the blow.
i don't really care to have the child support money... but i could at least place it in a savings account for college.
