[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The travel aspect seems to be getting ignored here, but it’s a significant consideration.  If dad is traveling for work during the week at unpredictable intervals, that will weigh in favor of the kids staying with mom during the week to help maintain predictability and stability for them and to minimize childcare issues if dad suddenly has to be away on a night the kids were supposed to be with him.[/quote]

OP said a few days only.  That is not enough to take away custody but if this is real there is clearly a lot more to it.  [/quote]

But that’s still a few months when there’s a potential problem.  What happens if dad finds out he needs to travel on two days notice and mom has already made plans to go away that night because the kids were supposed to be with dad?  Is dad going to cancel his work travel, or is the expectation that mom will cancel her plans to accommodate dad’s job?  If the latter, that’s a strong argument for having the kids live with mom during the week.  If dad wants mid-week time, he needs to commit to it and prioritize it ahead of work.[/quote]
