[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you actually want 50/50, OP? If you're having this much trouble managing your job plus the basic logistics of divorce, can you really do 50% of all kid hassles, kid appointments, kid homework management, kid activities, etc? She won't be the lead parent anymore-- you'll have to pull your weight and not follow her lead and have her as backup so much.

It's all too common for men to claim to want 50/50 because that's socially acceptable or it minimizes their child support payment, but then they don't actually want it and don't actually do it. Really ask yourself how this is going to work with your job, and remember, she can keep track of all the times you don't use your parenting days and use that to get more child support.[/quote]

50% is totally doable and I don't know why everyone is convinced that I don't want it or can't make it work. If I get long weekends, most other weekends, breaks during the school year, and the beginning and end of summer break plus weekends in the summer, that is very close to 50% and might even be more. It isn't a big deal to make that fit around my job. [/quote]

Because that doesn't add up to 50% and because your wife is not going to agree to no weekends and no holidays. You think she wants to spend every Christmas morning apart from her kids, forever? Come on.[/quote]
