Sd14 mother expediting the trial pushing for decision making

So, DH ex, sd14 mother, is pushing to expedigate the trial which means she's aiming to skip the next 2 judge reccomend mediations and go straight to trial to get decision making so that she is abme to pick the one HS we said no to. There are a lot of great private HS we gave as options and we said the only one we couldn't do was the single handed only one her mother pushed for. Her angle is to sign sd14 up for everything and anything that she knows we aren't able to do, which is unrealistic, 2 consecutive sports, 1 travel team, a HS that is over 35 minutes from our house so to and from 2 times a day would be 2 hours in trabel. So, she wants to overwhelm our schedule to basically make it so we can't keep up, all so that she can swoop in and say she can do it which is precisely what she said in the first mediation, we'll I'm able to take her to everything and I'm able to take her to the HS she wants to go to (which I may add is the most expensive in the state as well as her travel sport team ir the most expensive as well) all bc she wants to look like she's the competent parent. DH has had 50% custody of sd14 since she was 1. she clearly wants to interfere with pit life so much and cause chaos we simply said no to one out of about 10 different amazing private schools and her mother is now pushing for sole decision making so she can sent her to this school and make all the decisions. They've always had joint. I'm so frusterated bc DH is a great dad and does so much to make her happy and nothing ever is good enough. To the point he'll drive all over creation and spend all his $ and spend barely any time with the little 3 and it still won't be good enough. I'm not sure what the chances of her winning decision making is but she wants herself to look like the hero parent just bc she overwhelms sd14 schedule and swoops in and claims she can do it all. It's not fair.

Damn, that sounds exhausting. And expensive (in prev post you said the HS BM is trying to legally force DH to pay for is $42,000 a year!) Is BM willing to pay half of this? Idk if it's the money, the time commitment, or both that are not doable, but that's a lot. And in private school, the tuition isn't even nearly everything as far as cost.

Yea beyond exhausting. we said she'd have to do 95% of transportation but ultimately what that does is cuts in to DH custodial time and lets her dig her heels into parental alienation even more because she will be spending most time w Sd14 and at our house 24/7. We are giving her the option to perfectly great and similar HS options even one she got awarded 8k scholarship but mother is pushing for the only one we said no to

You can not do transportation for SD to High School.  You just don't have the time.  BM Must do all transportation to this far away HS.  Including sports.  You never in=now what is coming up in your life.  You will not let BM CONTROL your life and time.  
'Don't let SD start in a new HS. Then must drop out because she can't get there.  
'You have no legal responsibilities to SD getting to school, or anywhere.  This is a BM...BF ..thing. You will not have yiyr life and time control.  When you hit bad weather it will be longer.
