[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very philosophical question, OP. Whether it "works" is entirely subjective on many levels. Not everyone's experience is like 9:39's, which sounded very tough for her. I'm sure there are also a lot of children from intact households, who only ever had one room growing up, who as adults suddenly (inexplicably?) find themselves having trouble staying put (assuming that is a virtue we strive to instill). On the other hand, having regular, weekly access to both parents brings some (most?) children with definite benefits as well. Definitely a complex question involving a ton of variables that may ultimately have no "right" answer, which is really just to say be thoughtful and cautious about how much you "fight" for DD's time. And mindfully separate your own feelings for your ex- from what's really best for DD. The answer might surprise you and have nothing to do with the schedule you end up with.

Also, don't retain the lawyer who told you that most mothers end up with primary physical custody in DC. Just not the case.[/quote]

I am thinking long and hard about it. I so appreciate different view points being discussed here.

The lawyer said it about VA, not DC. And it seems like there is a code on physical abuse and custody.[/quote]
