I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt at first, but I am beginning to think that he wants 50/50 in order to avoid paying child support.
That's mind-reading, and besides, it doesn't matter. What matters is this- 1)is he a fit parent? 2)does your D benefit from seeing him? 3)what is the best visitation schedule for your D? My W and I have 50-50 custody, and let me tell you, it costs way more for me to have them half the time than if I was paying her child support. But I love spending time with them and would love to have them ALL the time, but my XW is a good mother and they deserve their time together too so I compromised at 50-50 and feel it was the fair thing to do for the kids as well as for me and her.

At the beginning of all this, he specifically told me he couldn't afford it. The truth is, he can't afford it and afford to keep the lifestyle he is accustomed to living.
He's in for a rude awakening then, because if he has her 50% of the time that is NOT "free".

If I do this, I probably destroy all chances of R. My H will not forgive it.
A lot of people think that going in, but in fact when they fight for their rights the WAS often gains respect for them.
