IIf W will agree to be a little more amicable and friendly in regards to the kids, we can work the schedule fairly easily. She doesn't work and is home most days, so if I have a day where I will need a little extra time at work, I can give her notice in advance and have the kids stay with her until I get home. We will see, just want a good agreement that keeps me in their lives and minds.
Get the "normal" set in stone in the divorce decree. Exceptions will arise and can be negotiated at that time.
My normal is exchanges on Friday. Kids leave school and go to other parents house.
We have a weekly "Dinner Visit" midweek. Started out on Tuedays. (Ie the kids would come to my house after school during Moms parenting time. We would eat dinner, and I would drop them off at Moms at 8:30).
This gave me the ability to have 2 long days at work during my parenting time (Tuesdays/Fridays) and Three long work days during her week.
Any exceptions: H:"W, I will be out of town next Wednesday. Would you like the kids to be with you? If I don't hear from you by Monday, I will make other arrangements."
