[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were his attorney my next offer would be my client takes 3 weekends a month, plus 8 weeks of summer vacation.  That would be about 164 nights a year or 45 percent time.  That offer would also be seen by the judge as being very flexible on his part.  My next offer would be one week a month, plus every other weekend, plus 6 weeks of summer vacation.  That would be 180 nights a year or 49 percent of time.

I would encourage dad to hire a babysitter who is old enough to drive, or get a female relative to help with the kids that one week a month when he has them during the work week.  [/quote]

Did you not read the thread?  OP said that exDH's job does not allow him to take the kids dirimg the week, so he is not goong to get 8 weeks of summer, 6 weeks of summer or even 1 week a month.  He often isn't even home during the week.  You think a judge is going to order custody for the kids to be cared for 24/7 by a sitter). Doubt that.  It would be different if the ExDH was at least home at night during the week.

OP, please consult your attorney about how to document offers of additional custody time for you and reasons why Ex has turned it down.  Keep a log of what you know about his travel during the week.  You might ask the lawyer about offering other mid-week contact opportunities - skype sessions to read good night books or chat, etc.
