OP, I really have no experience so maybe I shouldn't be butting in but wondering if this is an option.  I had a friend in jr.high whose parents were divorced but both lived within walking distance of school.  They had a custody arrangement, I forget whether it was week-to-week or 4/3, but it allowed her to at least see the other parent during the non-custodial times if she wanted or needed to.  Staying at mom's house this week, but really missing dad, so could easily walk over for dinner or to do homework for an hour or two one night.

I'm sure the transitions were still tough, but at least there wasn't no contact (I know, bad English) during the off-custody periods.[/quote]

I am very open to visits any time, as long as we can both agree on it. From her babyhood I had been asking her dad to be more involved. After I asked for a divorce, he did become more involved. I think he should be taking her to school everyday or something that allows him to see her often. However, I know he has entertained the thought of moving further away and would have done so if custody wasn't an issue.

Thanks for your thoughts.[/quote]
