I hope you are able to work everything out for the best interests of your daughter.

The only flip side I would present is that it sounds like it took the better part of 3 years to even come to an agreement. It's got to be tough on your daughter to be living through this as well and coming back to try and negotiate a new agreement when you apparently just signed off 2 months ago... I dunno. Your ex is going to be pissed, and it's going to continue to drag things out for your daughter.

Have you and your ex actually sat down with a mediator together in the same room to establish a custody plan? Screw the lawyers (no offense, troutman), jointly retain a mediator, and work something out expediently to both of your satisfaction with a mediator. A (good) mediator will keep your child and what's best for her as the focus. I can't speak highly enough about mediators. The mediated parts of my divorce were settled within months. The part we argued about through lawyers took 3 years to finalize.
