[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you separating and divorcing? And please don't say that's not relevant; it is.[/quote]

Why are their reasons for separating relevant to what sort of custody arrangement they negotiate?

Who does the kids' dinner/homework/bedtime routines when they are with him now, OP? If he does not have them during the week and works all day on the weekend, when do you propose he gets to see his children?

Are his working hours set or will it be 3:30-7 some week days and all day on some weekends only? Meaning - can your children expect some consistency within the non-standard hours? Or do the days that he works vary? How often do schedules come out?

One of the things that I have learned in getting divorced is that you lose any decision-making power in how your ex chooses to parent, within reasonable standards. If your ex wants to use a babysitter so that someone is around when he has to work, that's his decision. If your kids are staying up too late and having trouble in school, it's perfectly reasonable to tell him that they need to be in bed by a specific time, but it sounds to me like you are trying to come up with reasons that he should not have custody at all.[/quote]
