My Intro: Thanks for Reading!

Can you live in your kid's school district? Talk to your lawyer, be honest with him and ask him to be honest with you about your chances of shared custody.

The point I didn't get across so well was that W felt that I took a lot from her when I left the family and that time I spend with Ds is taking away from whats rightfully hers. She feels it wouldn't be fair if I had 50/50 custody because I'm taking the kids from her and that is wrong after everything else that I did. I think the point is that she's just really hurt badly and not quite seeing things clearly. She is normally always a fair person especially when kids are involved. I actually saw the conversation as positive because there was 1) revelation of whats really going on underneath and 2) a real human connection for a few minutes.

As for custody, we both basically work from home and offer similar things. We're both great parents. It would just be a knock down drag out fight if either of us chose to not settle with the other.

I have been looking at houses and condos in the kids school district. I hope to find something soon. Our current agreement keeps her in our existing house which she wouldn't be able to afford if we had a balanced and fair custody and alimony agreement. Also means I can only afford low low end

I'll share with you another time about exactly what my ex asked for in the D and what she got. I separated the emotional and business end of it, got the best possible outcome and must say I'm the poster boy for divorced dads.

Look forward to hearing more on that later.
