Hello,
Quick background, Married for about 1.5 years. Seperated in Aug 08 when our son turned 1.
We have shared/joint custody and he spends 50% of the time with each of us. However, the schedule has been Friday to Friday with 1 day out of the week spent with the other parent. (ie, I got him last friday, she'll take him for 1 night (say monday night), then go back to her next friday).
We did this as he was 1 year old and we didn't want him going a whole week without seeing the other parent.
NOW though, he's about to be 2 years old, we've both moved, and the schedule isn't as effective as before.
I am wondering how others have implemented custody schedules for young children.
Basically, I would prefer to go to a full week on, full week off. But I know ex will be resistant to that.
Are there any factors/studies to show that this could be harmful to our son's development?
I'd like to be able to propose the change in schedule, but know I'll end up dealing with lawyers to sort it out (just the way she is). I'd like to know if others have any suggestions on shared custody schedules for a young child.
Thank you!!!!
