[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going through a very contested divorce in fairfax county where my husband has come up with a fake post-nup agreement. I've never seen it, let alone signed it. We had a hearing in Oct which has been continued for Jan (his lawyer was sick); lots of evidence including handwriting experts, IT forensics, alibi witnesses etc. We have a strong case and have lots of evidence that this is a fake document. After Jan, we have a child custody hearing in Feb. Since separation, kids have lived with me in Arlington (moved here post separation) from Mclean/Vienna area. Husband sold our marital home behind my back last December when the kids and myself were abroad visiting my family. Kids are with my on weekdays and go to Dad Friday evening-Sunday morning. I want to keep this schedule and he has never asked for more time, kids have adjusted well. Both kids attended schools in Arlington.

He is asking for 50/50. Is he going to get it? He will have to come from Vienna every day for drop offs/pick up during rush hours. I have a fulltime nanny so for me its not been an issue; plus my mother lives with me. How can I get him to settle outside of court? He has a bulldog attorney who loves to litigate and forces me to bleed money....I'm so tired and want this litigation to just end and settle.[/quote]

50/50 is standard/default - what is your argument against it as it relates to the kids? I don't know that him being a scumbag to you is going to be enough.

I think you need to play the long game here. I'm not sure fighting over 50/50 is part of that unless your attorney thinks you have the upper hand on that front. Seems like it just gives him an opening to demand a concession on another front. From the little bit you told us I'd focus my energy at this point on getting the best financial deal for you and for the kids' future (education) and getting the money locked down.[/quote]
50/50 also doesn’t need to be split every week. Many people do 50/50 by providing 1 parent with more time while the kids are out of school and the other parents has their custody time while the kids are in school. [/quote]
