While im busy with realtors and banking stuff I got the inevitable letter from W and her L to legalize the separation..
Her terms are kind of ridiculous. Basically she wants primary custody, child support, and me to be a weekend Dad.. if I choose to. And am allowed visit during the week. All this to be reviewed in 10 YEARS!
Im quite stressed out about this because I know it will be a challenge to change her mind regarding the parenting plan document she sent. I will take a few days to make the suggested changes that I would like to see in this plan.
1 ) More time with the kids. My first step was buying a house in the same community. I can drop them off at daycare in the morning and pick them up at suppertime, just like she is doing now.
2 ) 50/50 custody. It is what’s fair for the kids… and us adults. They love us both, seeing them cry every time after I visit is just too much. I want to tuck them in at night, read books with them, be more involved in the day to day activities of the boys. Thinking since there so young we can take 2-3 day shifts, it would be ideal so we can really focus on being a fully engaged parent then have a break to recharge.
Does any of this sound unreasonable to you folks on this forum? Any suggestions on how I should approach this challenge respectfully, while still following the DB principles?
