Did you try mediation before a judge?

My attorney told me that it wasn't worth it to try mediation.  I am wondering if he is right or not.  He said that custody battles with out divorce (i was engaged) are usually too emotional and don't typically get resolved in mediation.

Right now my ex gets every Weds. and EOW.  I rarely talk to him but when I do he makes sure to complain that he isn't getting enough time.  My attorney is convinced that a judge will not give him more time (my son is only 2) because he is already getting what is standard visitation.

I am just so afraid to go to court.  It just seems so risky to let a stranger decide how much time I get with my son.
