1) Get a lawyer. 2) Don't focus on bringing studies to the table. Mediators consider themselves "The Experts", so any data you bring will ultimately be dismissed. Either they already know it, or you don't know what you're talking about. Be warned, mediators are spiteful and biased, so you do not want to do anything that would start you off on the wrong foot.

Instead you should be focusing on how you provide a healthy environment for your little one, your involvement to this point and your support structure. Additionally you should be willing to throw a mud; what has mom not done to support a healthy father/daughter relationship? How has she interfered with the bonding process? That kind of stuff.

I am not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice.

You might do better to reference other joint custody cases with similar circumstances to yours.

There are some listed here...haven't looked into their veracity.

The studies listed here seem to indicate that the issue is not clear cut.

Article referencing and analyzing a meta study on the topic.
