[quote=Anonymous]My ex and I split while I was pregnant.  It's mostly worked out pretty well, and I do recommend splitting in the early days - no transition anxiety in kids so young. It would be harder at 2 or 3 or later.  Note: your kid may at some point express the wish that her parents were still together.  She'll ask why you split.  And that question will come before you expect it.  So you might want to sit down and get your stories figured out.

Odds are pretty good that unless he really wants 50% custody, he won't just automatically be rewarded it.  My ex is a good dad but only has our daughter one weeknight and half of each weekend.  (plus every other holiday.)  He has ADHD and has trouble managing his life, so I've taken on the lion's share of custody, per our custody/visitation agreement.  You could do something like this as well, if he agrees to it.  (he is especially likely to agree to it now, while the kid is young and somewhat mom-dependent.  I find a lot of guys are less comfortable with the baby stage than with older kids.)[/quote]
