[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely would not give up any child support for custody -- that is your kid's money, not yours.

I also would not accept weekday custody only and no weekends.  That turns you into the Mom whose time is spent on the chores and obligations and activity carpools and you never get fun, relaxed bonding time with your kids.

Where your husband lives and how it impacts his ability to see his kids is his problem to fix, not yours.

Let him have 50/50 custody and the consequences that go with it.  Yes, the distance may impact your kids negatively.  Yes, your kids will notice, and it will likely negatively impact their relationship with their Dad.  He can move closer if he wants to fix any of that.

But, you can't spend your time and energy and money (or the kids child support money) trying to make him be a good parent.

Ask me how I know. [/quote]

Agree with all of the above. Start there and watch him walk time back as he can’t or won’t handle it.[/quote]
