Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

My son's father and I got into a fist fight a week ago. Resulting in my arrest for simple battery. We are currently in mediation for time-sharing. He has stated to me that he will call the DA and ask that my charges be dropped if I agree to 50/50 time-sharing and relieve him of the responsibility of child-support. Is this coercion, blackmail, extortion?
