Ex refuses to sign parenting plan that says that our son lives primarily with me and sees him every other weekend. He's afraid he's giving up his right to have him ever live with him. The agreement can be changed if we both agree. He seems to think I'll never agree to have our son move in with him.
I know there's fear on both sides about having less time with our son.
Our son has been with me since ex left (11 mos ago) and moved out of town (1 hr each way). Ex won't move back into town so 50/50 isn't an option. it's not BETTER for our son to move out to live with him primarily. the quality of the parenting would be the same, but he would have to change schools etc and see less of me and his 16yrold brother.
As our son gets older he can have more say as to where he lives but at what age? I wouldn't want him to feel he has to choose btw us.
Ex will go to court to try to get more $ from me but not to get his son to live with him primarily because he know he won't win.
I'm trying to come up with a compromise because there has to be a solution that works for both of us. Any ideas would be welcome. we're still playing nice.
(Ex needs a signed agreement in order to buy a place. He wanted an agreement to separate the property only and wanted to do the parenting plan later. I want to do it all in one agreement now.)
thanks.
