[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He probably wants a set schedule and not to have to coordinate with you every week regarding logistics. That seems tedious and also it doesn’t provide stability for the kids. I don’t think either of you are wrong, necessarily. Just be mindful that it might not go your way if taken to court. [/quote]

Did you not read the thread?  This is not about him wanting a set schedule - he has declined set weekdays, because his job schedule means he cannot take the kids on a schedule during the week.  OP has graciously been flexible with him when he can take a weekday.  That, frankly, is more than I would do.

DH doesn't want to be forced to make the same difficult choices the rest of is do when faced with a clash between job and parenting responsibilities.  He also wants OP to be the bad guy instead of his job/his own choices being the bad guy.  He can keep his job and the income premium that comes from being an employee that can travel and blame her for "not letting him see the kids."[/quote]

SO OP's exH is either an over the road truck driver or an airline pilot or a 00-level secret agent.  Very few other high paying jobs have travel 100 percent of weekdays.  Even 50 percent is unlikely.  Jobs with that much travel also tend to include weeks at a time away including weekends.  If he truly has M-F travel then he should be able to limit travel in one week a month, or get a sitter/family member to help out a bit those weeks.

[b]More likely what is going on is OP doesn't want dad to have time with his children, and this is her latest excuse.  Judge will see right through it[/b].
