They have been kidnapped from me for the past year plus and she's trying to create a "status Quo" that she hopes the Judge will not want to change. I have always been the primary caregiver as we both worked and my flexibility allowed me more time with the children than her position. I agree with Mess and have outlined the fact that the arrangement is negotiable, but the principle of shared Parenting is not, they need and deserve both of us equally. My Ex has made mulitiple claims and I have disproven all of them, now she's desperate and is grasping at this final hope. I'm willing to accept 50/50, but if this goes to trial I'm going to show her as the "lesser" parent and if the Judge feels that the children need a primary caregiver I am going to agrue that it should be the "better" parent and that is undeniably me.
