I have been seperated from my ex for about 1 year and finally going through mediation. She fet that we can work it out the seperation agreement on our own, but I prefer to have someone who is impartial, not that we are having major problems, at least I thought.
During the course of the seperation my pending ex has moved 4 times, and now feels that she is in a stable situation. During those periods we have tried different schedules with the kids. We have them 50-50.
Our kids are 3 and 8. Current schedule is she has them every Monday, Tuesday and I have them Wednesday, Thursday, and we alternate every other weekend. We have been on this schedule for the past 8 weeks, and I feel that it is a very good, stable and consistent
She wants to change to 1 week on, 1 week off. The claim is that it will be better for kids in the areas of schooling; so that she know what is going on at school with our oldest regarding homework, projects, etc. For the youngest working on his character for a week. I think all of this noble, but I still disagree with changing the schedule.
My prefererence is to keep the schedule as is. Regarding the school work I do not see a problem with it, he was getting it done with me. We are both good parents and want the best for the kids. However, we do not see eye to eye=egarding the changing the schedule.
She feels so strongly about this that she is willing to have the courts decide, if it cannot be worked in mediation that favours her.
What I want to know from the forum is what schedules have other's used, and benefits?
