[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also not sure how great of a parent he could be if he has only had every other weekend with his kid since he was around 2.

Do we have to assume the divorce is his "fault"? I got out of an abusive marriage, so I tend to "go there" but in this case there is far too little to go on.[/quote]

OP here, he advised me that he didn't want to get married and he was pressured to do so. So perhaps the divorce was his fault[/quote]

I would also be curious about why the "court order" and why the every other weekend. I know it's a common schedule, but for a kid that age, I've never heard of a situation where a parent who wanted joint custody was denied unless they were unfit in some way. Maybe by "court order" he just means that their custody schedule was arranged by the court, and it's not a huge deal, but I think if I was considering a relationship with someone who already had a kid, they'd have to be a super involved, enthusiastic parent. Otherwise how can you expect them to be that way in the future with any children you might have together?[/quote]
