Custody is and continues to be a battle. We're both heavily "lawyered" right now.
Unfortunately what I'm finding is that it seems to be almost impossible for me to get 50% custody in this state. No matter how involved and active you are as a parent, if your spouse is not employed and you are the presumption is that the unemployed spouse is the primary caregiver.
It's getting more and more expensive for me to keep trying, and I'm starting to question whether it's futile.
She's slowly backed off of her extreme position (which was one of trying to cut me out of their day to day lives), but she and her L have refused to go any higher than allowing me 5 nights out of 14.
My next step would be to engage a custody evaluator, pay another 20K in legal fees and keep fighting.
