[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even with a 50/50 split, trading off weekends is appropriate.  Is dad able to have the kids stay at his house 2-3 days every week, including getting them to school in the morning, picking them up afterward, and taking them to after school activities?[/quote]

This is a pretty key question.  Are you going to answer it, OP?  IME, when there’s a significant disparity in the schedule, it’s often because dad’s work schedule doesn’t accommodate weekday parenting, and he’s not willing to make job changes so he can be a weekday parent.[/quote]

Yes THIS is the big factor in most family courts. Not cheating, not quality of parenting (unless it’s really bad), not financial mismanagement, etc. Custody determinations are made with the kids’ lives in mind, not what the parent perceived as far. [/quote]

Exactly this.  Kids come first, parents second.  If your solution creates a whole bunch of headaches for the kid just to give one parent more time, a court isn’t likely to go along with that.[/quote]
