[quote=Anonymous]Using childcare isn't neglectful, but custody agreements are generally written to maximize each parent's time with the kids.

I can sort of understand Dad's reasoning on not allowing mom to pick up from preschool.  I don't understand why Dad has the kid on a weekend when he's going to be working all of it.

I don't know what Dad's two days are off.  Let's imagine that they're Tuesday and Thursday A more sensible arrangement would be that Dad picks up the kid from mom's house every Monday when he gets off work.  Keeps kid at home Tuesday and Thursday, and sends her to preschool on Wed with aftercare of his choice.  Then on Friday he drops off at preschool, and mom picks her up.  She gets more hours with Dad that she had before, and more hours with mom, and there's on transition from parent to parent on Monday, plus if mom gets a full time job she's got childcare and doesn't need T/Th off.

Then they just need to go to court to figure out reasonable child support and legal custody.  My guess is that if the judge will say that if they're forced to stop joint legal custody, it will go to Dad, since mom's request for sole legal is ridiculous, but I think that Dad needs to figure out how to be reachable in an emergency, or since it sounds like maybe he is and that's something he made up thinking it would help his case, needs to drop that argument.
