[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry this is happening.

Do you have an attorney? What are the arguments that prevented a 50/50 arrangement? Does your work schedule allow the logistics that a 50/50 situation requires?[/quote]

Yes, I have an attorney. My attorney mentioned that this seems to be the new norm recently with this court pushing dad's into the every other weekend scenario.

The judge basically said that it is clear that I've been a very involved father since birth but that since separation DW has taken on the primary caregiver role and that is the new norm. I did my best to explain to the judge all of the tactics that DW has been using to separate and alienate me from DD in an attempt to get primary custody. The judge seemed to be listening intently but then he went to deliberate and came back with this ruling.

Yes, I work from home and have a flexible schedule to accommodate 50/50.[/quote]

If the judge listened to you and STILL came back with this ruling, there’s something you aren’t telling us. No offense, but “very involved”, does not always mean healthy and effective parenting. I say this as 1) the now adult child of a “very involved” parent, 2) a divorced parent whose “very involved” former spouse doesn’t get why the court won’t give 50/50, and 3) a teacher who deals with “very involved” parents frequently.
