Hello, everyone.
Been on here a few times, and the help I received was great.
I mostly lurk now, but still keep checking back in every few days, as every bit of info is useful.
Anyways, I currently see my 7 month old son about 3-4 times a week, with the schedule being 2-3 midweek visits for approximately 3-4 hours apiece, with 8 hours on Saturday.
We were never married, and split before the child was born.
I have exercised regular access since birth.
I have been insistent that a parenting plan be put in place, allowing for a gradual increase of time, leading to 50% access by the time he is 2 or 3.
I have a stable job, home, and have all needed items at my home.
Momma says that 50/50 is bad for the kids, as a child needs a stable location.
I retort that stability does not depend on geographical location, but on having two involved parents.
We have agreed upon joint physical and joint legal custody, and I will be moving to her neighborhood by summer in order to facilitate access.
Child support, Section 7 expenses, and all financial matters are taken care of.
In fact, we seem to agree on almost everything but an access schedule.
So....
How many of you actually have 50/50 custody, and how do the kids react to it?
And if I do have to petition the court, what are my chances of obtaining 50/50?
Thanks.
