JOE Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:13:55 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/lawyer-changes-fees-after-final-agreement-signed-167481.html I recently was involved in a mediation where I received a settlement. I went to my lawyers office and signed the fee agreement, which they also signed. Today, I get an email stating they made a mistake and I would be receiving $6500 LESS because they miscalculated and that I should bring the original agreement in and sign the new attached agreement. My thought is, their mistake.. they should had checked the numbers over and over before signing the agreement, but I don't know how the law reads this..

The opposing lawyer drafted the final mediation document allowing me one afternoon before it was submitted to the judge for signature. At the hearing I protested but the associate judge signed the decree anyway. Afterwards, my lawyer put in a motion to overturn the final mediated settlement (duress, not represented by counsel). The residing judge did not grant a new trial but is allowing the lawyers (mine, husband’s) to clarify the final mediated agreement and then submit that document for final decision. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:02:18 PST http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-i-still-petition-for-sole-custody-after-we-cam-167304.html In January, I filled for joint or sole custody, relief and visitation. In April we signed a temporary visitation agreement. In October my son's mother and I finally completed the mediation process, coming to a partial agreement on a visitation schedule and that our son would reside at her home. During the last month she has denied me any visitation and instead has asked me to sign a parenting agreement that gives her lots of loopholes for denying visitation or making it complicated. I have a court date this week and would like to continue my petition for sole custody now because it appears that she wants to continue to limit visitation. Can I still petition for sole custody even after our partial agreement through mediation and temporary order that established her with residential?

I have now resided in Missouri for 2 years, but we are close enough that my ex still has the children every weekend and some holidays. My ex-husband has filed for custody of our children. The case is being heard in Kansas where he still lives. Can it be moved to Missouri where the children now live and which would save my not missing work so often to attend mediation, etc.?
