Ciara’s been trying to work out a travel schedule for her 4-year-old son, Future, but his father isn’t cooperating.

Now she wants a judge to force (big)Future into mediation to get things squared away.

via TMZ:

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ciara’s legal team is asking the court to force Future to enter mediation … so they can hammer out a new travel itinerary for 4-year-old Future Jr.

If the judge won’t force Daddy Future into mediation, Ciara wants a trial to settle the matter. 

As we reported … Ciara claims Future’s been terrible at keeping his daddy appointments — allegedly breaking scheduled visits fairly often — and tends to hand the kid off to the rapper’s mother or grandmother without spending much time with him.

Ciara also said the constant back-and-forth was weighing on their son, and it was important they figure a better schedule for the kid’s sake.

Her camp says they’ve been trying to figure this out without a judge stepping in, but to no avail. 

*sigh* It’s clear Ciara’s just trying to get everyone on the same page. Hopefully Future can get with the program.
