Where I live, joint legal custody is almost a given. I am fighting for joint physical custody. The law here states that there is a "Parent of Primary Domicile" and a "Parent of Alternate Domicile". The assumption is that the children live with the PPD, the PPD does the general parenting, and the PAD has scheduled visitation days.
from my part...no way.
The alternative is to legally agree to 2 Parents of Primary Domicile. In other words, both parents are equal and the kids live alternately with both parents.
Unfortunately, since I worked to support the family, the presumption is that my W is the primary care giver and therefore would be the PPD - even though financial reality says that we will both have to be working full time after the d.
I have to fight (and win) in order to get equal time with the kids...(and I will)
I can handle it.
