Wow Raven!  Rant on!  You have every right to be pissed off.  When a gal I know
got divorced they used a mediator instead of attorneys for both parties. 
Well....she did not realize that even with a mediator you need a lawyer.  Long
story short, her hubby got 60% custody of the child and only had to pay just
enough to pay for daycare, but only on the weeks he was with his mom. 
Eventually she ended up with the child more than 75% of the time (being a
single parent is hard the dad found out) when she went to court to get the
support amount raised.....they said since it was done in mediation and not in
court they could not force him to pay more unless she starts from scratch and
that could take 2-3 years.  She also stupidly signed a waiver preventing her
from taking a job more than 50 miles from her current home and forbidding her
from moving the child.  Now....I look at that this way...It is much more
difficult for women to maintain a well paying job than it is for her "desk
jockey" ex to hold down a job.  Her line of work, might require her to transfer
within her company to maintain her status and pay.  He knew all this when he
forced that waiver on her.  OF course he sugar coated it, but in reviewing it,
he does not have the same stipulations on him.  He is free to move wherever he
choses.  That  happened 8 years ago and it still makes my blood boil!
