I desperately need to pick up the pieces of my new life as a single parent. I need to get back in the work force, but before that need to upgrade a few skills. I should be ready to be fully employable in about 6 months (max). In order to do this I will need daycare which he verbally refuses to pay, saying he cant afford it and doesn't need it.
A 50/50 access would be the best solution, for my situation. I could concentrate 100% of my focus every other week to upgrading my skills. And of course its better for children to have both parents equally involved.
Did I did my own grave? Yes somewhat because I was the stay at home parent for the last 7 years. And after he left I was naive and didnt know what "status quo" was until I found this forum. I have the children 90% of the time, for a year now.
Thats my vent, but I do have 2 question. We were Common Law, never married, so the divorce act doesnt apply? So its my understanding we only have to figure out custody, access & table child support. Spousal support shouldnt be an issue as I am confident, I will be working withing the next 6 months.
I have read on here, but now cant find it, that 50/50 is legally default? So whats stopping me next time he picks up the kids to say "see you in a week", and hole myself up somewhere to study.
Hope you dont think I am a "Bad Mom" !
