I will have a minimum of 50% custody. Divorce would go to court if she didn't agree.
Question….who do you think is the better parent? Who is in a better place to care for your son? FTR, you would be wise to avoid court at all cost..that said, if ya need to ya need to.
I honestly consider us pretty equal on a parenting level. That is why I would fight for 50% custody. I'm not saying I want to go to court.. that's a long expensive battle. But I love my son so much I would fight to be able to spend 50% of the time being a positive influence on his life.

Why would you have to move? Is it that you alone cannot support the mtg payment? If YOU want to move because of the distance then fine…don’t make choices based on how you think she MAY take them.
I could just barely afford the mortgage on my own. It would put me in a very uncomfortable financial situation with no hopes of ever saving a penny.
My parent's basement is no closer to the city. It would just be a rent/mortgage free location so I could build up a down payment.
Hopefully this type of thinking/planning is in vain. But I guess it's good to be somewhat prepared just in case.
