This moring(Sat) he is supposed to bring the kids back at 12. Last week He wanted to keep them till 4 and i said ok. He texted me today and said "i'll bring them home at 4". I replied we have plans please bring them back at their normal time. Then all hell broke loose. texting back and forth until i finally called him. He gets all mad because he thinks that i am saying 12 because i am being mean. I explained we have plans and you can't tell me 2 hours before you bring them home your keeping them longer.
I know I'm letting a personal bias show, but I think people should not text back and forth when it comes to important discussions like this.
When he said he was bringing them back at 4, you should have called and spoke to him directly. You might have saved yourself an argument.
As for the 50/50 custody, that will likely vary by the state. But the impression I get is that most jurisdictions will start at 50/50 and work from there, unless they have a good reason not to do so (such as evidence of abuse by one parent).
