He’ll have a small fortune. He filed several weeks before a significant, life-changing petition. I don’t think it’s about child support so much as appearances and pride. [/quote]

Sounds like it’s your pride and appearance and you are taking the kids from dad.  The simple solution is to be flexible and switch days and weeks as needed.  Kids deserve both parents. [/quote]
Are you on the right thread? Dad won’t have the kids. Dad will be travelling. Kids DO need both parents, unfortunately in this case they get neither.[/quote]

You are going to be shocked at how many children spend time with daycare providers, babysitters, nannies, preschools, before and after care programs, grand parent, aunts and uncles etc. There is no expectation by the vast majority of the population that a child must be with a parent all the time. Most spend considerable time of waking hours in a week with neither. Most people work and need chidcare while they work. And yes, when you are divorced, people still use childcare, they don't  shuttle the child back and forth between parents every time someone is working. That would be far worse for the child to basically be a ping pong ball. There is nothing wrong spending a week with dad and grandma and then a week with mom and daycare for example -that is how most divorced families who need childcare do it. [/quote]

Exactly, dad can arrange his own child care if mom doesn't want to switch the schedule around.  She can easily change weeks but if she doesn't want to he needs to find child care.[/quote]
