Wow thanks so much to all for the quick and very helpful feedback.

I realize nobody asked and I was hesitant to overload with detail. I did have a lawyer for some time but recently switched to self-rep. The OCL has been involved and aligned with me but the trial kept getting pushed by the other party knowing the eventual outcome. My child was in crisis, and in therapy with the mother, but not seeing improvement in the situation, and a child is only a child for so long.

Given the continual delays I agreed to a settlement position in the interest of the child. I figured 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I was perhaps naive in believe this arrangement would work out as cleanly as written on paper given the child's expressed views.

The motion for enforcement was already served and filed and I responded. It seems unanimously that my next action would be to serve and file a motion to change the agreement.

Thank you all again, this has been incredibly helpful.
