[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he in a smaller place and farther away? The expectation should be same standard of living in both homes. Kids will start not wanting to go to his place if it is far from friends and activities and they have to share a room there. Finances should be arranged so he lives close by and has rooms for each.

Could dad take the kids after work for an  evening or two each week and then do a Friday afterschool until Sunday am type routine? That way he would still have one day of the week for himself but see the kids 3-4 days a week and have a long stretch with them where he would gets substantial time.[/quote]

Why is that the expectation? [/quote]

I think I explained it. Kids will not want to go to a home what is far away from friends and activities or where they don't have their own space. That then erodes the relationship with that parent. It is also much harder to co parent when you live far apart. Keeping both homes similar and close to each other contributes to less issues for the kids.[/quote]
