I do feel the same way, that it seems the only way they ever figure it out is if they are sitting in that apartment alone. For the guy however, based on Illinois Law, that would probably be me seeing my kids on the weekends and one day during the week.
D, where did you get the idea that IL law is biased against the father? That is absolutely not the truth. I also live in IL. I know a man who used to post on here who was divorced last year in IL and has 50/50 custody of his two young children. I am dating a wonderful man who was divorced by his WAW three years ago and he got full custody of their teenaged daughter with his ex getting visitation. You get the custody you fight for. My ex did not want custody of our children and chose to see them only every other weekend and one evening a week. That was his choice because he didn't want them to interfere with his free time. If your situation gets to that point, you will have a say in custody. Make sure you protect yourself by getting your own lawyer at that time and document everything.
