Based on past history of disruptions to the routine, and the advice of his early childhood specialist, I think it is in our son's best interest to do the following:
* Christmas holiday is too short for successfully transporting a 4yo to Germany and back without huge effects on him in school. But if Dad comes to the states to spend Christmas with family, it would be fine for our son to join him.
* Summer overseas should not exceed 4 weeks. This can be increased by a week each summer for each year of age.
* If Dad comes to the states at any point during the year, he can visit with our son at any time.
* For our son's comfort and safety (knowledge of how to handle melt-downs and anxiety attacks), travel should occur with his biological mom or dad, and exchanges between visits should go from mom to dad, or dad to mom.
* Our son yearns for and needs time with his Dad. So ideally part of his day would be spent at the on-base exceptional families facility, where he can continue to receive his therapy, and interact with other children while Dad is at work. Dad would be with him in the evenings and on weekends. If Dad gets deployed, Mom would travel to bring him back home.
* We have regularly scheduled phone calls or web cam sessions (at least once/week), and our son has free access to call Mom or to receive calls from Mom even if it's not our regularly scheduled time. (The same is true for Dad when our son is with me.)
Those are my suggestions that I'm bringing to the mediation.
