8 month old baby and upcoming divorce part 2

[BL42]

Newborn,

I still can't get over someone moving 5-6hr flight away from their child. I guess it happens, but I don't understand it. In most cases with reasonable parents a 50/50 split is best but if he's willing to move across the country he doesn't deserve any legal rights to custody. I'm guessing as a doctor you make more than his yoga income but I'd still push for child support if I were you to make him accountable - it's not for you, it's for his child - and he's not living up to his obligations in any other areas there.

Sometimes I think it'd be easier in some ways to have full custody and not have to deal with ExW, and raise the kids the way I think they should be, and not lose time with them. But other times when it's been a tough week and I'm exhausted I know I'm going to get a reprieve...that's that's after just a week. So in some ways you'll have the freedom to parent the way you want and not have to deal with him, but in others being the primary/only is going to very difficult. Draining. Make sure you cultivate a good support system and remember to give yourself a break and self-care as well.
