[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The process is annoying, but having children in your care can be annoying and unpredictable and they will mess with your schedule. You have to show that you can handle this. Nothing you're saying would convince me.[/quote]

I think that they will actually affect my schedule far less if I can get 50/50 and know when I need to be responsible for them and then be able to focus on work the rest of the time, and if anything I will be a better parent after divorce because I will not have my focus split all of the time between two things. [/quote]

What two things is your focus being split between now?

Also, did you not know the time of the parenting class?  I am confused.[/quote]

There were different class times to sign up for but I didn't realize how it worked until it was too late; I assumed my attorney would present me with options and make sure I took care of it.

My focus now is being split between family and work. I think that 50/50 custody would let me go all-in at work when I don't have the kids and be more present for them when I do, and I think it will be better for them than before divorce.[/quote]

You are expecting concierge service from your attorney?
I can't imagine how you will spend your 50/50 time.  Believe me, the children's lives only get more complicated, not less. Do you expect your attorney to be your executive administrator for those years too?

The reality is you need their mom to be on demand backup for the times you can't get yourself organized. So keep it cordial and support the other parent. It can be a very reciprocal arrangement.[/quote]
