[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, 50/50 isn’t the standard. Some people want it to be the standard but it simply isn’t true. Out of my circle of friends who didn’t pre-agree on their custody arrangement, the mother wound up with more for reasons like husband travels a lot. Kids need stability and going back and forth is very difficult —add to that a traveling parent, it’s a mess. Why should OP get 50/50 and constantly have to cover for her traveling ex? Why? Just so he can pay less support? Or so the kids can never know their actual schedule? OP-don’t accept that 50/50 is the standard.[/quote] Agree. Ask your attorney to push back. If you aren't flexible, you will end up the doormat to his traveling whims. If work travel is so important, every other weekend should be enough. Also, interesting 'work travel' has picked up since divorce came up. Maybe he has an AP? [/quote]
