[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even with a 50/50 split, trading off weekends is appropriate.  Is dad able to have the kids stay at his house 2-3 days every week, including getting them to school in the morning, picking them up afterward, and taking them to after school activities?[/quote]

This is a pretty key question.  Are you going to answer it, OP?  IME, when there’s a significant disparity in the schedule, it’s often because dad’s work schedule doesn’t accommodate weekday parenting, and he’s not willing to make job changes so he can be a weekday parent.[/quote]

Read the post.  Kids are older/teens and preteens so when school is in session many are not home till later.  Dad is asking for 50/50, mom is saying no.  OP said Dad is a very involved Dad.  Dad is home before 6/dinner time.  Kids at that age don't need after care.[/quote]

So if a kid gets home from school at 3pm, they will be home unsupervised for 3+ hours until dad gets home?  If there’s an alternative that provides more adult supervision, it’s not surprising that the court would lean that way.[/quote]
