[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're asking what is best for the CHILDREN, neither.  Most experts agree that children need one home.  Going back and forth is very hard on kids.  So, every weekend or every other weekend is best for the child.  Unfortunately, parents going through divorce rarely make decisions that are best for the children.[/quote]

And taking away one parent isn't bad?[/quote]

It wasn't bad for my kids.  They had every Wednesday from after school through dinner, then either Friday through Saturday after dinner or Saturday afternoon through Sunday before dinner.

This way they had one home.  They knew where all their stuff was, all the time.  He attends all parties, games, school events, etc. We only live an hour apart.  [/quote]

I grew up with this and it sucked. I always felt like a guest in my dad's home, and we never got to just be together, it was always an event during his visitation time because there was so little of it. I think I would have liked something with more time with him every week.[/quote]

I'm sorry that was your experience.  We BOTH check in with our kids about how it's going regarding visitation and this is what we've settled on based on schedules AND the kids desires.  My ex lives in the home the kids used to live in.  I'm the one who moved.  So they're perfectly comfortable at his house.  [/quote]
