[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that best for you or him?  They will get very little time with their dad.[/quote]

OP here. Well the standard we are working for is best interest of the children so that is what I am trying to think about. And that includes taking into account what their lives were like before the split.

The percentages reflect overnights, not necessarily amount of time spent parenting. We could give the father a higher percentage but I’m not sure that will translate into more meaningful hours with him - it might just mean time with a babysitter. And it will mean more time for children in a commute to/from school or sports etc. In any event, they are spending more quality time with him now than they did before the split.

What sort of schedule gives the most bang for the buck/most meaningful hours? It seems weekend time is the most common solution to this plus maybe 1-2 school nights every 2 week cycle. I do like the idea of having him invested in some part of the school routines as well because otherwise it’s easy for him to completely check out of that. [/quote]
