[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op tell him to prove it. He can start now; make it formal 6 months after he shows he can do it. [/quote]

That's not the way it works. Why are you offering such stupid, useless, irrelevant advice?[/quote]
Of course it's the way it works.  I am divorced and have a custody arrangement with my ex, so I have been through this.  Most of us have a waiting period before the divorce is final.  Let him try his hand at 50/50 for six months before going to court.

Meanwhile, pay him whatever you think you should be paying him.

If he shows up for the pick ups and the carpool and takes care of the dentists and the band practice that fall on his days, faithfully for 6 months, you go ahead with 50/50 in your PSA (Property Settlement Agreement, which includes custody and visitation matters)  Document/diarize each and every day, what happens, what was successful, what wasn't.  If he FAILS to perform his 50%, [b]you go to court with that documented and use it as a basis for telling the judge what amount of custody will and won't work.[/b]

Now I am in VA and I'm not a lawyer and my divorce was ten years ago, so this free chat room "stupid, useless, irrelevant advice" is just based on one person's ACTUAL REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE.  But whatever you say PP.  I assume you are a divorce lawyer?[/quote]
LOL. “tell the judge what works”...good luck with telling a judge what to do. See how far that gets you.[/quote]
