[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're asking what is best for the CHILDREN, neither.  Most experts agree that children need one home.  Going back and forth is very hard on kids.  So, every weekend or every other weekend is best for the child.  Unfortunately, parents going through divorce rarely make decisions that are best for the children.[/quote]

And taking away one parent isn't bad?[/quote]

It wasn't bad for my kids.  They had every Wednesday from after school through dinner, then either Friday through Saturday after dinner or Saturday afternoon through Sunday before dinner.

This way they had one home.  They knew where all their stuff was, all the time.  He attends all parties, games, school events, etc. We only live an hour apart.  [/quote]

So, they get one home and one parent.  You are basically restricting the parent to be a parent and they are more like an uncle vs. parent.  Kids need equal time with both parents and be comfortable in both homes.[/quote]

No. Parents want that. The vast majority of child psychologists believe kids do better without all the back and forth. Unfortunately most parents are not willing to put their kids first. [/quote]
