I'm a little confused about something.
Many of you are always saying who cares what your ex does with the kids on her time. I've accepted that and don't really care. I do however have one question that is bugging me.
As discussed many times we are both still living in the same house. Kids are split 50/50 alternating evening and weekends. No support is being paid. All household expenses are being paid proportionate to income.
My understanding about the whole argument not to move out of the house is to not lose custody/access/control of your kids.
What I'm having trouble with is the stbx having the kids sleep at her new bf's house on weekends etc. It's only happened a couple of times but I have a feeling she might try and increase it in the near future. Now the issue I have is not them sleeping there it's how is this different from me getting a new place and having the kids sleep at my new house on my nights with the kids. Her and her lawyers stance from the get go was it was not acceptable to remove the children from their home.
So hypothetically could I not go out and rent a house move out and just keep the kids on the same schedule alternating weekdays / weekends. If she is having the kids sleep somewhere else what can she do to stop me from doing the same.
Obviously this does not address the issues of support and all the other things that go along with me getting my own place, but isn't the whole point of me continuing to live in the same house to be with the kids in "their" house.
Thanks
