Am I missing something?
Separated for 6yrs and generally things are working well with co-parenting (50/50). Other parent has new partner in province but 6hr plane ride away. Other parent is starting new job in new partner’s town and will be working on a 2 week rotation “to start”. He’s keeping his place here and wants to move to a 2 week parenting schedule. (Every 2 weeks he’ll fly back and parent while working remotely)
I hate the schedule but will do a lot to keep both parents in child’s life at 50/50. I’ve agreed to it for now.
Other parent won’t say what he has in mind after the “start”. I’m assuming it’s moving permanently to other town. Flying back and forth is expensive and could
become exhausting. I don’t know if he’d ask for child to move with him or not.
My preference:
1. We stay with a 50:50 schedule. I thinks it’s best for child. I’m not interested in rotations longer than 2 weeks.
2. If he moves, child lives here and we work out visiting schedule with other parent.
Am I shooting myself in the foot by agreeing to this 2 week rotation? Will this make it easier for him to move with child if he decides that’s what he wants?
