Took my ex to mediation for child support.

I took my ex to mediation to increase child support and shared parenting responsibilities. Instead of cooperating, he made excuses and is now claiming I am abusive for holding him accountable.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew he would resort to false claims of abuse to avoid his parental responsibilities."
If I could tell you one thing
"Document everything when co-parenting, as an irresponsible partner may twist the situation to avoid accountability."

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
