[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone waived or accepted a very small amount of child support in exchange for getting primary custody of kids?  Is that a bad idea? I make 200K/year working as an attorney and think I have a stable enough job. My priority is to keep my kids for the weekdays so there is no disruption in their school routine. Dad lives in another county.[/quote]

A friend did this, her ex moved away and all was good until he met a new woman and wanted to show off as a dad so he applied for custody modification and they did all those reunification classes. Don’t know what came of it but just to say it’s no guarantee. 
What I did was not fighting the 50/50 ex wanted but keeping the kid at home under the guise of “oh you work so much it’s probably easier on you” and also signaling I won’t be looking to modify custody and subsequently child support if he goes along.
But then he is not the most organized person and he doesn’t want to bother with courts unless he feels super threatened. You know your ex best! Will he ever try to have kids on workdays if he can be free? [/quote]
