[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in divorce mediation, and we agree to 50/50 custody. But how does it work in practice[b] if you do not want your children living out of a suitcase[/b]? Ex wife will be staying in the district and honestly it is kind of ridiculous to have to drag our kids in and out of the district either some days a week or every other week etc. So, this makes me think that the 50/50 custody that everyone talks about is only practical if both parents are in the same school district, otherwise the kids will suffer with the commute. My ex is staying in the house. I cannot afford to live in the district. As much as I want to see my kids more often, I may have to make some sacrifices and have them just weekends to spare them unnecessary travel.[/quote] Sadly many divorced parents are totally fine with that. In most cases one parent has to make the sacrifice to prevent that. Nope they rather drag their kids around sometimes with long ridiculous commute. And I will say women are the least likely to agree to anything less than 50%. And good luck with them agreeing to seeing their kids only on weekends. But of course they will think its totally fine for the dad to be a weekend dad....[/quote]
