Hi Ready2Change, he mentioned in September he let the kids stay with their mom since they preferred that. Six months may establish precedence? He had both kids Friday, his son Saturday.

In my state, I'd expect the judge to offer a path to 50/50 even if it was a ramp-up taking one to two years. The ages of the kids matter, though, since teenagers especially 16+ often have great say over the choice. See lawyers--they know best! Hopefully a lawyer is suggesting to fireman what would be probable if this went to court so his he knows in mediation but what to request and what to demand.
