I have an arrangement with my ex that our son who is 15 would spend Tuesday and Thursday and every other weekend with me. The original arrangement was for him to spend those times with me overnight. My ex lives walking distance from me and has a bigger place, a townhouse, while I have a smaller condo.
My son says he prefers to sleep at his moms on school nights. I get it, he has a bigger room there, it's a bigger place overall and more comfortable. I don't really want to force him to stay overnight with me as it will just cause strain (we get along great) and he's at an age now when he can decide for himself; he is turning 16 soon.
How does the ONTARIO court view custody? If he stayed overnight with me as scheduled, it's not a problem, I have about 50% custody, maybe less but close enough. But if he is hanging out every Tuesday and Thursday after school but going home to sleep, will the court not count those two days in the week as me having custody? Does it matter that me and my ex live close and that my son said he prefers to sleep at moms?
