Sorry Frank but you need to get another opinion on the time with the kids thing. You spent over a YEAR on the stupid money stuff and now you are willing to roll over on custody?
Go see another lawyer. Also, there must be a father custody group in NY. We have one here. These groups know the latest about custody issues and fight for the 50-50. They can put you in touch with lawyers that specialize in that area.
I live in backwards Alabama, where women are sweet southern bells and fine mothers and men are dumb hicks. Yet I got a WAY BETTER schedule with my kids than what you are describing. Backwards AL versus liberal NY and you can't get liberal custody? Hard to believe.
Get other opinions my friend. You will regret it if you don't.
Noted. Researching. The only wrench is that I am a surgeon and take call. A judge may find that disruptive. I am looking into NY fathers rights. My friend sent a link. FIB

Found three other advocacy groups that I emailed today to see if there is someone I could speak with. FIB

Drew...I am a physician with a heavy call schedule. I think that the issue is 'disruptiveness'. I could have the kids and get called in the middle of the night for an emergency. In the least, I would need a sleep-in during the week. On the weekend, I have my family for coverage. Even then, if I get a 2AM call on a Saturday, I would have to arouse the kids from sleep, so, would most likely need a sleep in. FIB
