My L was very clear on the joint physical custody thing. I even brought up moving home. He said I could do it, but he'd advise against it. He said it would likely lead to a faster D filing and a contentious one.
Again, I'd be putting all my eggs in the basket of winning joint physical custody in court and that's not been the practice. He said unless I could prove she was unfit then most likely she'd get primary custody and I'd be stuck with the serious CS payment -- most likely around $430 per check just for CS -- not including daycare, healthcare.
I made some serious mistakes eight months ago, but I can't relive them. I need to cut a deal and get on with things. I feel weak that I'm going to need to get a deal from her -- but in the end it's about what's best for my finances isn't it?
