UPDATE My wife sent me this email in response to her SC trip:
"Thanks so much for the suggestion I think that's an excellent compromise. Just let me know if you are going to fly out Friday evening or Saturday morning and I'll purchase tickets for you and E.
Im glad we were able to work together on this, otherwise I wasn't going to go.
Thanks again, Wife"
Positive, right? Well, I thought so too. Until I inquired from my attorney's office about whether they've made contact with my wife's lawyer, and my attorney said that my wife told her lawyer that she's not planning on taking our son with her, and maybe even not going to SC at all. If I had known of her thoughts, I wouldn't have suggested the 50/50 arrangement, because now I feel like I've enabled my wife to pursue her career and see our son at the same time. Her reality seems pretty rosy right now, at least in my eyes.
