Well guys, I welcome and appreciate input from all of you.
Looked at the settlement stuff tonight. Yeah, don't think I want the house. Might be able to make it work, but it would be difficult. W is thinking about buying me out again. She changes every day.
What have you guys done with scheduling the kids? I work full-time, so W is pretty much going to be the one taking them to school and picking them up. We've talked a bit about a situation where I pick them up after work, the drop them off again with W in the morning. That way we both get to seem them regularly.
W goes back and forth on what she will and won't do. We've talked about the 50/50 custody, then she'll get an attitude about how I'd make that work without putting them in daycare - which leads to a snotty statement that "you'd rather put them in daycare than have me take care of them." Which is never what I've said - I just don't have good answers.
She can work herself up pretty good about this.
Probably more of a 60/40 arrangement - which goes into the settlement calculation.
Sheesh, this is a pain in the neck. It's hard to contend with how different life is going to be - both with regard to the boys and with finances.
