Dropping the Rope

[lost_hope]

LittleGTO, you already have a lawyer. And I know family law in each jurisdiction is different. But if you have custody of the children for the most part he may have to pay a share of the mortgage regardless (and you wouldn't have to pay a share of his rent on new place). So be careful about relinquishing too much custody. Note, I am not talking about access or visitation but legal custody. This can make a difference and could be why he's pushing more visitation now (to make case for custody). I think children should be disrupted as little as possible and it's very common for them to remain with one parent during the week and only see the other on some weekend schedule. It's not ideal but those as the breaks when a spouse decides to leave. Since you've always had them not too sure why he's pushing now (hence my skepticism).
