My ex and I simply can't agree on the childcare schedule we have. He gives me a hard time about my work schedule and the occasional weekend that we have to switch if I get scheduled to work. All this was agreed upon in mediation during the divorce, but now that it's all over and I agreed to not collect child support, he's going back on everything. I work 3 days a week and one weekend every 5 weeks and the schedule comes out a month in advance and it's still not good enough for him.

It's very frustrating because I have a lot of long stretches off and vacation time that I get every three months. I always take the kids extra during my long stretches off. He got 4 days out of town with his GF this weekend and still complained when I asked him to take them overnight ONE night last weeek while I was on call.

So my question is this. Can/how do you go about going BACK to mediation to hash out all the disagreements. I feel that since I provice the benefits and have the kids more now that I should be getting child support at the very least if he's not willing to take them equal time.

Usually you can, although some states or agreements have a provision that you can only go back every so often.
