My wife and I are going to try couple therapy to reconcile but we have both agreed that if we can't sort things out we'll go the collaborative family law route, but was wondering...
In the worst case we would agree on joint custody and in the case of 10 year old this is clear. But my 18 year old who starts univ next Sept... Can he have a say about this? He's an A+ student who's worked while at high school and will get scholarship $$$ too, so support for him isn't an issue and I'd help him regardless.
But he may wish to live with me exclusively while seeing his mother as he so chooses. Can he request this as part of any separation agreement?
The sub-story is that the guy she's had a brief affair with may resurface I suppose if we can't make it work and my 18 year old may feel like Hamlet if he's eventually sharing a place with the guy who broke up the family--I know it's more complex than this but I'm taking his point-of-view. Thanks...K
