[quote=Anonymous]I think you should think about 2 things- physical vs legal custody. In your case, i'd definitely go with full legal custody (or at least tie breaking authority in case of disagreement). What if he decides the dentist is against him too and wants to plant electronics in the kids teeth? You want to be in a place where you can decide on their medical treatments, schooling, religion, etc without his ability to stop you or derail. Pitch it to him as him not having to worry about signing papers or forms or all the little things that bother him. Physical custody an be handled differently. Joint physical custody, if you're comfortable with it, can happen. There is a range - decide what you're comfortable with and go from there. But Legal custody, that should be non negotiable (or at least tie breaking authority, which basically means after trying to reach agreement with him in a reasonable way you still get to decide).
