[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best advice I got from lawyer was a strategy that allowed xDH to save face re custody.  He could not / would not ever say he didn't want 50/50 but he didn't want it (the impact on his career, the responsibility, all of it).  So he had to basically be handed a cover story that made it sound like he would be a super involved dad but with a flexible schedule for his "VERY IMPORTANT JOB" that in reality resulted in me having the large majority of custody.  The catch is you can't get child support that undermines the facade of equal involvement [/quote]

OP and I have a question- did you make it 50/50 on paper in your agreement and agree to something else separately? How did you actually arrange the time and keep it moderately predictable for the kids? I am certain that my DH is just like yours and is coming from the same place. He even has a job promotion he's preparing to take that would have him out of the country multiple weeks or parts of weeks per month, so there is not universe where 50/50 is even possible unless he invents a teleportation device. Yet he will absolutely want it. [/quote]
