[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think sleeping arrangements has much to do with being the primary parent. "Primary parent" means the parent that does most of the childcare. Since the mom works at the school and the dad doesn't get home until 6, I imagine she is indeed the primary parent.

Oh, and when there are custody disputes, judges try to disturb the kids' lives as little as possible. If they were to live with the dad [b]they would be without one of their parents until 6PM every night[/b]. That could be why.

But sometimes judges are kind of old school and think moms are better caretakers. Only every other weekend seems like not a lot of dad time to me. It's hard to say based on the facts here.

Somebody mentioned an AP. Family courts don't always count affairs against a parent in terms of custody. You can be a bad spouse but a good parent. [/quote]

Many families with two working parents don't see their kids until 6 PM during the week.  Our aftercare is open until 6:30.  Pre-covid, I would usually pick up between 6 and 6:15 and there were plenty of kids still there.

I find it hard to believe that would be held against a parent.[/quote]

It’s not being held against him as a judgment of his parenting. It would just be a factor in how much it would disrupt the kids lives if they were to live with their dad. [/quote]

Divorce is disruptive.  Teens aren't spending 3-6 with their parents. They are having a snack, doing their homework, at after school activities or other activities.  Parents are not sitting next to them for those hours.  Mom could also keep them till Dad gets home as part of the time share.[/quote]

I’m guessing you’re not a family law attorney. It’s not about what’s an acceptable living condition for the kids. It’s about minimizing disruptions in their lives. [/quote]
