[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going from 50% time to 100% time is a lot if the parent wasn't really holding 50% of the responsibility despite having 50% time.  Also if anything really bad happens to the mom you will likely be bearing 100% of the financial responsibility and the kids will be in great distress about their mom.[/quote]

The man probably has a higher income, and therefore probably [i]already [/i]has more of the financial responsibility.

In my case, based on income, I have 75% of the child support responsibility. Going to 100% would be perfectly do-able. If something happened to XW, I'm covered, because I am the beneficiary of XWs life insurance policy. Similarly, she is the beneficiary of mine - if I die, she gets 100% custody [i]and [/i]a lot of money.

As for "holding 50% of the responsibility", our mutual responsibilities are spelled out in the separation agreement. We both do what it says, so we both do 50%.

Again - it's all a matter of planning. Don't marry a step-dad who is bad at that.[/quote]
