[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question isn't whether a father gets every weekend.  The question is whether a court will order a father to be given evey weekend. Many women voluntarily give up weekends for a variety of reasons - to avoid an expensive custody fight, to keep the co-parenting relationship conflict-free, or because they feel that the father given weekday custody does not attend facilitate school/homework and other activities.  In the latter, the mother, chooses to be the "taskmaster" ensuring homework gets done rather than be the "fun" parent in order to ensure kids ha e future opportunities and skills.

The question is, in court, when the Dad asks for every weekend and the Mom shows that this is the schedule the Ex asked for, [b]that she has offered him several compromises that have been rejected,[/b] will a judge go ahead and order every weekend?  IMO, the DH is not going to end up looking like the reasonable party, and judges get irritated if you clog up their court with over-reaching requests. Also, in this day and age, I think there is a higher likelihood that anjudge will recognize the fundamental economic inequity the law would be imposing -- Mom cuts down job travel to care for kids during the week this getting lower pay, while Dad benefits in terms of career/salary from not having to balance kids and work.

Ex's lawyer will also be offering several compromises before you ever see a judge.  If ex's lawyer is smart, he'll also ask for a court-appointed attorney for the children.
