Now maybe it is much different from state to state but am I the rarity to have recieved 50% legal and 50% physical custody of my two minor children? Now 16 and 10.

I think it would be a very good idea to go and pay for an initial consultation with an attorney just so you have a better sense then by going on just your gut.

If you don't mind answering a couple of nosy questions,

Did your wife work outside the home? Did you (or your respective lawyers) negotiate this arrangement? Did you use any kind of mediation? Did you have to go to court?

Thanks,
