[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think sleeping arrangements has much to do with being the primary parent. "Primary parent" means the parent that does most of the childcare. Since the mom works at the school and the dad doesn't get home until 6, I imagine she is indeed the primary parent.

Oh, and when there are custody disputes, judges try to disturb the kids' lives as little as possible. If they were to live with the dad they would be without one of their parents until 6PM every night. That could be why.

But sometimes judges are kind of old school and think moms are better caretakers. Only every other weekend seems like not a lot of dad time to me. It's hard to say based on the facts here.

Somebody mentioned an AP. Family courts don't always count affairs against a parent in terms of custody. You can be a bad spouse but a good parent. [/quote]

So, its better for them to live without their Dad who has been an equal parent all along vs. both parents.  Every other weekend is 4 nights a month.  Its about money.  Child support is based off where the child sleeps at night.  Mom gets more child support if kids sleep at her house.  Its more disruptive to kids to lose their father and Dad become more of an uncle figure vs. Dad.[/quote]

Why should dad get all the weekend fun time while mom gets all the work of school, homework and after school activities?  Sounds like dad wants to have his cake and eat it too.[/quote]
