[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Many of you guys are confirming what I fear namely the practicality of it. 50/50 is not an issue its part of our agreement. It is just me trying to think what's best for my children. For example, If I see them only on weekends, will my relationship with them deteriorates as they get older? They are 13 and 10. [/quote] It might. Or, they might clash with mom. Mine were 15 and 13 when we split. On paper, we had 50/50. In practice, they were with me 95% of the time because of the way my ex-wife parented them. I was the only one who set boundaries, had structure and, well, actually parented. It sucked b/c I was paying a LOT in child support to her, but by then there wasn't much point in reopening that in court. Let me put it to you this way: Once they could drive themselves, my kids basically decided to live with me and occasionally visit their mother. Their mother isn't even a bad person or a bad mom. She just had a very different style. I also lived a mile from their school and she moved 10 miles away.[/quote]
