I need help please.
My ex and I have been separated for 4 years. I have had interim sole custody (courts) since then. OCL was involved, also recommended sole custody to me.
We just had our settlement conference a couple of months ago and the judge stated that if we come to trial fighting over custody most likely it would be decided joint. I really don't understand that but my real question is, I was presented an Offer to Settle by my ex as we are approaching our pre-trial conference. I am pretty agreeable to all of the terms (maybe even the joint custody ? it states joint custody with primary residence with me) in order to finally settle this and everyone can get on with our lives, (the children are all very young 7,6 and almost 5). What would the change really mean if I accepted on joint custody, I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around the true difference of sole vs. joint with primary residence with me.
Thank you,
