A parenting conference is normally not mediation. They are normally scheduled with a counselor who may see if the parties can find any middle ground, but if not they normally make a recommendation to the court. The judge likely needs this information to make a decision, so requesting temporary orders may not make sense. What may make sense is to mediate privately and try to work together with the other parent. You can get a mediator on board now, rather than waiting for a court process. Sometimes the other side needs to be shown information in an open and respectful manner or them to hear what you are saying. Best of luck.
