[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WFM spouse seems to be doing more work and has no weekends free.

I would just do 50/50. [/quote]

What does 50/50 look like in this situation? Genuinely asking. [/quote]

Any of these options. It looks like him being with them and managing them on his own while they are awake. And it looks like you giving up quite a bit more of their waking hours, and therefore more of your child support.

50/50 is very normal and you need to get your head around that it is normal, even if it's not what you want or where you end up. [/quote]

I think it's a bit unfair that you assume this is about keeping the kids from the other spouse. Other spouse works and commutes. Someone needs to be with the kids during their waking hours. Once someone said that's not enough weekend time I agreed. FWIW this is the schedule that communing spouse proposed. [/quote]

I don't think OP is trying to keep them from him exactly, but I do think she's trying to maximize what she gets and it necessarily comes out of his time. Almost the same thing. [/quote]

Being fixated on “his time” and “her time” is not the right way to figure out what’s best for the kids. It may indeed end up that a more traditional arrangement is better with clearer boundaries, but it’s not a foregone conclusion. Flexibility is always going to be better for the kids. [/quote]
