My situation is as follow, ex-wife and I have separated for almost 2 years. She initially took the kids and restricted my access to the kids. However, we have been following a pretty regular schedule for about 1 and a half year where the kids spend Wednesday evening for dinner and Friday + Saturday with a Friday night stay-over. I am currently requesting through a separation agreement to move the Wed evening to Thurs and increase one extra night of stay-over to make the schedule a bit easier with less commute. However, she disagree and say if we can agreed, she will bring it to court to decide.
What I like to know is that given the current arrangement has been in place for well over 1.5 years, it would be hard for me to believe the court ruling would alter anything. I would imagine the ruling would be status quo despite I have a reasonable request to make a minor modification. However, she continue to tell me that the judge will normally just grant me access every other Saturday if this case was taken to court as this is the norm. Very hard for me to believe the court will change a pattern of child care as it has been the case for such a lengthy period of time.
As a side note, my propose schedule would still not exceed the 40% reside with me rule, therefore, I don't think the child support plays a key issue here.
To conclude I would like to know the following:
1) Is it even possible that the court will rule me every other Saturday. Just for extra information, there was never any case of violence that occur between the kids and I and no previous court order to rule me to not be able to see the kids ever.
2) What is the likelihood that my propose minor alteration to the schedule be granted if the case was to be taken tho court
Thanks in advance to those that can give me an honest answer.
