[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would 50/50 work if the kids go to local public school and the parents don't live close enough for that to work logistically?
For example, if one parent lives a mile or so away from the school and the kids can take the bus or easily be driven, but the other parent lives in the next county over and it would take 1/2 hour to drive to/from school?

Should the kids live with the "close to the school" parent during the school week, and  the "far away" parent get all weekends and most school breaks to make up for the time lost during the week?[/quote]

Parents should try to live close. I had to move 10 minutes away (but in a different county), which is 20 minutes from the school. Now they are going to a a private school during COVID that is 10 min from me and 5 min from my ex. When it is "normal," they will go to a before/aftercare place in between our two homes. In 3 years, I plan to move back into the district. I will not be able to get in to the elementary zone. I will be able to get into the secondary zone so at that age kids can be bussed to/from both places. If I get a place that is back in the county and near the house but NOT in the elementary zone, I will find something 10 min from the house and just drop/off and pick them up there for the bus on my weeks.[/quote]
