Thank you for your examples -- we had the mediation today and it was not brought up -- not that we expected it to be -- but we'll see what turns up at court next week.

Hello from a newbie! I'm pleased to find such an excellent resource for the issues we're dealing with right now, and I hope to contribute eventually, as well as to benefit from your collective experience.  ;)

My partner has pre-court "mediation" tomorrow with his ex, who currently has full custody of their 4th grade child, because we are requesting increased custody and visitation -- and we have word that she is going to make a play to move with their child more than six hours' drive away (but not out-of-state.) She had never proposed this prior to his petitioning the court for increased custody.

Because interaction between both parents is highly stressful for both my partner and his daughter, I'm wondering if there might not be a way to make the long distance work in our favor, via fewer but much longer visits.

Does anyone have any personal experience with such arrangements?

I have had difficulty finding examples of what such a schedule might be, in order to evaluate the pros and cons.  Are there any on SPARC or elsewhere that you can point me to?

Many thanks!
