[quote=Anonymous]Given his big change and the efforts he made to become a better dad even before court intervention, my guess is that the custody will be 50-50.  That is the default in MD absent good reason to do something else.  The parents will have to work out what arrangements are best for the kids or a judge will just decide.  Some options are every other week, half week with one parent and the other half with the other, something similar to what they have with more days to the father.  Usually, you look at two week increments because it's an even number of days - so each parent has the kids 7 out of the 14 days.

I know MoCo courts have an excellent mediation program where parents can work out a lot of things.  It's mandatory anyway and it's free.  It identifies issues that need to be sorted out.

If the kids need counseling and the mom is holding things  up because she doesn't like a qualified counselor, she's just as bad as the dad for insisting on a particular counselor.  No one is going to see her is a good light over that.

One last thing.  Child custody battles are extremely costly.  I hope she is getting good advice on what she can expect because when you're divorcing and reducing your household income, no point in throwing good money after bad.  [/quote]
