[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?

[b]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 wee[/b]k?[/quote]

This sounds AWFUL. Sure, I'll be the parent that gets the kids up and out the door to school, and makes sure I'm home on time to get them to soccer practice and cook dinner, and schedules doctors/dentist/orthodontist appointments, and handles homework and clarinet practice and bedtime. I'll take the hit to my career that being the primary caregiver implies.

All of that so my ex can play Disney Parent and have them only when there is nothing else going on?
