Mike, her papers to the court ask our joint custody, she is not going for sole custody. I agree not going with a L is not a bright move on my part. I plan on retaining a L and informing her to drag it out as best she can. It does not sound like my W wants this to get messy which I believe is good. I just want what is best for me and our girls. Not getting into a blood bath I believe is a healthy move for them.
Yes, I did have to sign a court paper saying that I recieved the papers from my W.
Is the OM coaching my W? Probably is since he is going through the samething rightnow. He is just a few months ahead of us.
Also I think my time with my girls will be a little higher then what you calced. Tuesday = 3 hrs\wk Thursday-Saturday Morning = 38hrs\wk Every other weekend (dropping them off monday)=55+hrs\wk\2 Add some extra holidays and vacation onto this I should be getting some more time.
That works out to about a 60\40 split. This is probably realistic with our work schedules.
I plan on seeing my L tomorrow and shelling out some money. I will have them file my response as late in the game as possible. From what I read on the paper I signed this morning I have 60 days to respond to my W petition.
