[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, does he pay child support?  What on earth are his arguments for why he should get every weekend and you should get no weekends??

I loved the PPs story about the dad who chose his kids over his job. Sounds like you and your ex both have demanding jobs, and he wants you to make a huge sacrifice because of HIS situation. No way. You sound very reasonable, and [b]I’m pretty sure no judge would give him every weekend[/b]. [/quote]

I can think of at least 3  families I know with this exact arrangement where the dad gets every single weekend and they alternate holidays.

Did they get every weekend custody ordered by a judge or did the parents agree to it?  Big difference.  [/quote]

Actually the big difference is whether this was decided initially or if it was a modification. Because what OP fears is never going to happen.[/quote]

Depends on the judge she gets The idea that dads get less time with kids is falling out of favor.
OP and her ex don't want to get to the point of a judge deciding because it's very likely neither of them will like the outcome.[/quote]

But more time is NOT the issue. OP is more than happy to split the weekdays and weekends with him 50/50. She’d be fine if a judge ordered that. He, however, would not like that. He’s not willing to change his work schedule. [/quote]

No OP only wants him to have 1 more day on his off weeks and only on the days she has picked.  They are both inflexible and want to have things worked around their  careers.

Please go back and read the original post and OP’s follow up. He wants every single weekend. She has every right to say no to that. Instead, she has offered more time on alternating weekends so that he has a longer weekend with them that includes a weekday on the front or back end. He is balking at that. Other than her saying no to every single weekend without her kids, how exactly is she being inflexible? [/quote]
