[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a family lawyer please weigh in here? I am so confused by this entire thread. I feel like the mom could just say to the court that she requests 50/50, which is the default. The judge isn't going to say, "welp, dad doesn't want any custody, so mom is ordered 100%." Right? Imagine if the genders were reversed and mom said she wanted nothing, and dad said he wanted 50/50. The judge would order 50/50, unless there were serious drug/abuse issues. [/quote] I am totally confused by how you think this could work. So you would get a court order that specifies 50/50, and child support calculated based on 50/50, but you would still have them 100% because there is no mechanism to make him take the kids. How does that help you? All it means is less money[/quote]
