[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A therapist might be a better option, to help the parents accept their kids’ choices. [/quote]

Kids should not choose or be put in the middle.  They need both parents. [/quote]

The reality of teens' group work for school, sports, volunteering, and work often means that 50/50 won't work.  That's precisely why I recommended a mediator who would understand that teens' schedules shift and they might not be *able* to make 50/50 work, and even if they do?  They do have a choice in whether they will be in their rooms, out with friends, at activities, or socializing with their parents.[/quote]

[b]Of course it will work.  You do a week on, week off.  Or, half a week at each house. [/b] What you are really asking is how do I get full custody as I'm trying to justify and rationalize it?  [/quote]

That's IF both parents live close enough to school to drive them to/from school, sports, piano lessons, blah blah.  Many parents don't have 2 parents who live real close by, so that's when 50/50 doesn't work.  AND both parents then need to have a bedroom for their children - not just have them use the pullout couch in the livingroom on their week.  it could be a shared bedroom if the kids are same gender.
