The ex has served me with a motion to modify visitation. My lawyer is now working on my opposition to his motion and I am asking for attorney fees. It's official now we are going to court. He realized I was not going to bend on giving up my weekends with the kids and he is not going to take me up on my offer for extended time during the week. The only winners are the lawyers.
OP I don't see a way in hell your DH won't get SOME weekend time. If you go to court you're going to end up with 50% weekends and you won't get your fees paid. Can't you mediate?
I thought OP said in her OP that her ex already had every other weekend. As I read it, ex had 50% of weekends but didn't have 50% overall custody because he didn't want to committ to regular weekdays; instead he proposed to get more custody by taking more than 50% of weekend time.
Personally, I doubt a judge will order that.
However, Ex can waste a lot of money trying, and it is unclear if it will be the OP's money he wastes as well since she has asked for costs. IMO, it's worth paying some money to preserve a 50/50 sit on weekend down time, which is so critical to the health of the family.
