[quote=Anonymous]Have an 11 month old with my wife -we are both women. It’s her genetic child but I carried. Our marriage was rocky but then got better but has really gone down the shitter since she retired (armed forces). We are separating.

It looks like I may be splitting custody in a divorce soon. Affording a new place and hiring help isn’t a problem but my parents cant come help so half the time it’ll be just me. Im assuming she’ll have right of first refusal but I am concerned about late nights and travel, and getting fired. I also do want my own genetic child or children so there may be another on the way - I have a few years left to do it.

Anyway, the question: I am a senior associate at a biglaw firm. I love my job and I want to make partner. My firm has a 2000 requirement and is fairly reasonable compared to some others. I’ve had successful years while also being sick as a dog pregnant and doing a lot of outside projects so I don’t need to spend every waking minute working.

Anyone successfully had a high powered career with 50/50 custody? Or SMBC? Tips and tricks? Would love to hear from men and primary breadwinners too.[/quote]
