[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell him you won’t ask for more child support. Let him have every other weekend and be flexible on if he can have dinners one or two night a week as well. Don’t he petty or awkward. This is about the kids. [/quote]

You don’t take the kids away from dad because he has to work.  If he takes a lower paying job, mom gets less child support.  And, that’s not a good reason to take the kids away because you want more money.  Get a part time job when kids are with dad or get a better paying job. If it’s about the kids they need time with their dad and 4 days a month and dinner occasionally I’d not a relationship.  If it is, kids should live with dad and mom see them every other weekend and dinner occasionally and that solves the school issue as kids go to school and child care near dad and he uses the child support money to pay for child care.

That’s not how it works. When the custody schedule is set, it is contingent on the parents being able to meet their parenting obbligations on those days. He chose to set up his life in a way that means he can no longer meet his parenting obligations. So yes it is on him to figure out a way to make the existing schedule work - or propose a different reasonable one that works. Reasonable does not mean his ex does pickup and drop off every day and it also doesn’t mean forcing the kids to move schools. [/quote]
