Hello. I'm a father with 50% custody of 2 kids, now 11 and 13 y/o.
After some initial squabbles, we've managed to keep it out of court by estimating what the end result would likely be and then agreeing to it. That way we are both unhappy, but at least the lawyers are too.
We aren't friends but we communicate enough to raise the kids because we both care about them.
From my perspective, family law is unreasonable in its premise. If it were reasonable, people could sort out it out themselves and the streets would overflow with unemployed lawyers and judges, and the burden to the EI and welfare system would be too much for the nation to bear.
