what are your thoughts and experiences with it. stbx is all for it. My attorney said DO NOT agree to it. But she did nt give me reasons why. tommorrow i am gonna ask her for several reasons WHY . anyone have any input on the subject. ive read her on posts that it is rough on the kids.

It's hard on everyone unless Mom and dad can get along. Reduces child support to zero sometimes, unless you can't work. Listen to your attorney.

do you think it could work well between you and ex? do you think it would be beneficial to the kids? how do you feel about it? can he provide them everything you can? i'm all for having an attorney, but you know you and your ex best. she does not. you need to think this through and how will it affect the kids.

i kind of have 50/50 custody with my older kids (13/15) and it works great - probably not the ideal traditional family but we're improvising. for the younger, it probably wouldn't work as they require a bit more stability with one residence. another factor, not sure - not an issue with me as i am the payer, but it my impact child support if custody was 50/50. person receiving support might have to receive less - again, not sure.

As a father who is close to his boys I wanted 50/50 custody and joint guardianship.
She wanted sole custody and guardianship!
I did get her to agre to joint guardianship but she is fighting the 50/50 custody and my Lawyer says I will never win and just spend 10's of thousands trying.
It feels like she is taking my kids away from me.
Christ wasn't breaking my heart with two affairs enough??

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
