Have to think about it this way: do I want to create that kind of drawn-out custody battle? Would it serve their best interests? Could I afford it, recognizing the toughness of that sell to a court system that really likes 50/50: take the children away from what's familiar, away from their friends, and away from a mother who earns over a quarter-million dollars (and owns or co-owns income-producing properties here and there worth over a million), when even under the best of best-case scenarios I'd command less than half that? Just to substitute babysitters here for babysitters there?

Doesn't look like much a hand to play, at least not to me.
