I disagree that it is in the child’s best interests to drag out a divorce and spend endless money on custody. It is also not a way to build a relationship you may not have with your child.  Teens spend the vast amount of time at school and with friends. If it were me, I’d consider how much of the parenting and planning (i.e. mental load) each parent has taken on in their lives and try to adjust custody time accordingly to ensure not much disruption in the Teen’s life.[/quote]

Well, again, my position was different for what was in the court order and what was be reality.  Here's why:

I am 100% of the opinion that the best people to parent the child are the parents, and it's incumbent on them to be adults and get along so they can co-parent the child with love and best interest at the forefront of all decisions.

I also think that any Court order that restricts EITHER parent's time with the child should only be there if there is true danger to the child (which 99% of the time there is not).  It's crucial during the tween and teen years that kids develop a relationship with both parents because these are the foundational years and this will largely dictate what the next 60 years may be.
