Melissa(lissa68) For my husband

Ok, basic facts:

Iowa Court
Me, dad Pro-se

filed in Jan 04 petition to modify existing custody to 50/50.

filed in April 04, citing contempt of court orders, OSC, and Amended petition to me having sole custody and ex having visitation.

Judge set trial date for July 13, 2004 on all issues.

Ex, attorney...................denied everything in all petitions and contempt order and OSC.

I, thought I'd see if settlement could be reached, as this is getting hard on our daughter, as mom is filling childs head full of crap, offered settlement to original petition, but included tons of remedies, and things excellent for myself and daughter.

Ex's attorney jumped on it, wants to meet Thursday afternoon.

Thinking maybe the passing of Iowa's new JC law got him, or he actually seen all the proof I have submitted and will submit 5 days prior to trial as overwhelming as it truly is.

Any hints, ideas, stategies, ect you dads whom have already been through this could give me?

Any help and advice is greatly welcomed.

I am assuming that your offer was sincere and was satisfactory for you.  If so, then proceed to settle.
